REVIVALIST PRESS RELEASES THE JOURNEY
The Journey: Biblical Principles for Teens Taking the High Road, a newly-released volume of lifestyle instruction for Christian youth, has just been released by the Revivalist Press. Sponsored by supporting holiness denominations, it includes most of the contents of God’s Revivalist’s March 2002 special youth edition, plus additional articles on related subjects.
Candidly the book addresses such subjects as how to approach the Bible and personally apply it; how to find God’s will for your life; how to be a triumphant and happy Christian in the midst of a hostile world; how to develop wholesome relationships with the opposite sex and keep free of moral impurity; how to handle such matters as entertainment, music, dress, restitution, forgiveness, and witnessing from God’s perspective; and finally, how to “grow in grace” and develop into a sturdy, mature, and growing Christian.
Published by the Revivalist Press, The Journey is printed by Country Pines, Shoals, Indiana, and will be distributed without charge. Those wishing a copy of The Journey should contact GBS, and it will be sent for the cost of postage.

GBS MISSION DIVISION SPONSORS NEW YORK TRIP
“This weekend was one of the best weekends of my life!” Thus freshman student Jaron Bovard registered his response to a GBS Division of Intercultural Studies and World Missions trip to New York City, March 14–18. Led by Dan Glick, chair of the division, the weekend itinerary included Greenwich Village, the Statue of Liberty, Ground Zero, Time Square, Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Central Park, and the Brooklyn Tabernacle.
Services at the famous inner-city church were considered the high point of the trip. “New York is a fascinating place,” commented another student, Lynette Troyer, “and it was exciting to see what God is doing through His people at Brooklyn Tabernacle.” In addition to Troyer and Bovard, students participating were Joanna Tallman, Mary Bevin, Ryan Colson, Joey Kretoski, Candace Dahler, Faith Parker, Missy Terry, Jenny Maloney, Emily Charlton, Joe Glick, and Andrew Glick.

SPRING BAND TOUR TAKES GBS MINISTRY WEST
“Go west” was the motto for the Spring Tour of the Symphonic Wind and String Ensemble, March 22–29. “The SWSE was great,” commented tour director Don Davison of the GBS department of public relations. “They served GBS well with a fine, stirring program that was interspersed with genuine testimonies of God’s grace in their lives.” Directing the school band was Professor Garen Wolf, assisted by his daughter Deanna, both of the Division of Music. Keith Waggoner served as student recruiter and John Burroughs as bus driver.

BRIEFLY NOTED: Two students have been awarded plaques as “student of the month” for the months of January and February respectively. Aaron Terry (left), a junior working for a BA in Music Education, plans to be a minister of music and to teach music. He felt that the Lord strongly led him to the Hilltop to prepare for His service and “absolutely loves GBS,” where he has been a quartet member each year he has been a student. Shannon Miller (right) is a senior in the Christian Education track. From a couple of campus visits, she knew that the Lord was leading her to GBS; and as she believes, her decision to come was one of best she ever made. She is a talented cook, and this past year she has served as assistant cook on campus. After her marriage this summer, she intends to “teach wherever God leads.”….Under the direction of Professor Garen Wolf, the GBS College Choir will perform Handel’s famous oratorio Messiah in the campus chapel, at 7:00 PM, May 8. Faculty accompanist is Martha Miller, and assistant director is Deanna Wolf. Soloists include Branon Littleton, tenor; Michelle Miller, soprano; Amanda Strain, soprano; Eric Englund, bass; Heidi Holmes, alto, and Mark Foster, tenor. Probably the most loved and most performed oratorio of all times, Messiah presents the plan of redemption through Jesus the Messiah and is based on the King James Version of the Bible….David Graffenberger, international director of Every Creature Crusade (ECC) for OMS International, is scheduled to speak at GBS chapel services April 24. He and his wife Marilyn have been OMS missionaries since 1963, serving first in Haiti, and since 1979 on the headquarters staff in Greenwood, Indiana. OMS had its beginnings on the the GBS campus in 1900 and for many years thereafter there were close ties between the organizations. Each was represented at the other’s recent centennial celebrations, and GBS President Michael Avery recently addressed an OMS gathering.
