Participation Among the Studentsthought about caring for others.During the spring semester, JOYworked with the approval of the S.A. toraise money for food to be shipped toEthiopia. which suffered severe faminefrom drought during 1984-85. Themembers of JOY with the help of severalother students collected money in milk jugswhich they carried with them whereverthey went during the three-day campaign .They raised $2,391.63. The money wassent through the members of the church atWhite's Ferry Road in West Monroe,Louis. These people have been involvedwith the needs of the Christians in Ethiopiafor several years. Since they had directcontact with them the food got into thehands of the missionaries who woulddistribute it to the Christians there.JOY plans to get more deeply involvedwith the needs of the community and thewomen on campus in the future.

Special attentionwas given to scheduling individualsto speak who were currently involved invarious ministry settings; they not only offeredinsight into the nuts and bolts ofeveryday ministry, but they also fieldedstudents' questions about what they mightexpect. Timothy Club also provided an opportunityfor students who shared commoninterests to meet together outside of theclassroom for fe llowship with peers andfaculty members.Typical meetings included a devotional,announcements and a speaker. A commonprogram might involve an elder from a localchurch speaking and answering questionsconcerning the relationship betweenpreachers and elders, an expert 'in the fielddiscussing current trends in church growth,or a minister offering practical direction tostudents by reflecting on his work andeducation as he answered the question, "If Ihad known then what I know now, I wouldhave.
