JOHN PARKER EVANGELIST AT
FALL REVIVAL SERVICES
Rev. John Parker (GBS ’78 BRE),
director of worldwide missions for the
Bible Methodist Connection, was the
evangelist for GBS’s fall revival, August
28–September 1. Centering on this
year’s school theme, “Seeking Him,” he issued a powerful
and scriptural call for students and faculty to focus
attention on God and His call to holiness and service.
Our Lord’s promise, “Blessed are those who hunger
and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled”
(Mt. 5:6), provided the theme for several of his messages.
Earnest seeking for God’s favor through prayer,
soul-searching, and confronting spiritual failure marked
the campus.
President Avery has made “Seeking Him” the special
emphasis for Wednesday chapel services with appointed
time for fasting and prayer during the noon hour. Plans
are also underway for small accountability groups under
the supervision of campus pastor Rev. Mark Cravens.
Revivalist readers are urged to join the campus family in
prayer for spiritual awakening and renewal.
