Two months ago 60 of our young people heard him at Urbana '84. Dozens of us have read his book, <u>''In the Gap''</u>. A select few keep up with his monthly article in ''World Christian Magazine''. He is a missions specialist with Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship.

| - | The Prayer Team meets daily in ''The Upper Room ''at 7 AM, and on Sunday mornings they pray from 7:30 to 9:30. What about an 11:00 squad? Any volunteers for this strategic assignment?
