Brussels woman spent summer in India

ANN JAMIESON
Ann Jamieson is an extraordi
narily beautiful young woman from
Brussels, whose love of people and
total devotion to the life work she
has accepted make meeting her an
unforgettable experience, even for
an unbeliever.
Miss Jamieson is a devout
disciple of the Campus Crusade for
Christ, an international and inter
denominational Christian organi
zation charged with winning peo
ple to Jesus Christ, building them
in their own faith, and sending
them out to share His love with
others around the world.
The basic tenet of the Crusade is
the Great Commission of Matthew,
found in verses 28: 19,20: “Go
therefore and make disciples of all
the nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and the Son and
the Holy Spirit, teaching them to
observe all that I commanded you,
and lo, I am with you always, even
unto the end of the age.”
The idea behind the Crusade is
simple, and effective: each mem
ber is to recruit others through
one-on-oneevangelism, tobuild on
thatfaith through discipleship,
and to send that new recruit out to
repeat the process, in a mathema
tical progression that aims to unite
people around the world in a
unique global ministry.
“Win the campus for Christ
today, and you will win the world
for Christ tomorrow” is the motto
that has characterized the Campus
Crusadefor Christ’s ministry to
university students since its be
ginning at the University of
California at Los Angeles in 1951, a
ministry which now employs more
than 16,000 people serving in 163
countries around the world, and
reaching millions of Christians
from tens of thousands of churches
of all denominations, as well as
from other Christian organiza
tions.
All full-time staff members must
raise funds to cover their own
salaries and other ministry expen
ses. This is done by having
members develop their own “fin
ancial support teams”, by seeking
commitments of ongoing funding
from businesses and private indivi-
duals known to the member; a
certain financial goal must be
reached before a staff member may
take up full-time work on a
university campus.
Miss Jamieson is now seeking to
meet her goal, and has travelled to
Sudbury, Kitchener-Waterloo and
London to muster support. Once
she has obtained this, she will go
on staff at the University of
Guelph, where she will likely serve
for one year, before being trans
ferred to another campus, depend
ing upon the need.
In order to saturate- university
campuses with the gospel and to
raise up more manpower to help
reach the world for Christ, the
Crusade for Christ is moving ahead
to place staff at all of Canada’s
universities. And through inter
nationalsummerprojects, they are
challenging students and lay-
people to join the Crusade all
around the world.
Miss Jamieson was one of a team
of five, which with 60 other
Crusaders travelled to India last
summer to spend two months in the
beautiful state of Kerala in south
ern India, bringing the gospel first
to the pastors of local churches,
and then through the pastors, to
other members of the church, and
then outward to whole communi
ties.
“Such a large number of people
came to Christ that we had to plant
six new churches in our area alone,
to pour our lives into others so that
the.effect may continue on and
on,’’ said Miss Jamieson.
“Churches there were dying, just
as they are dying in Canada,
because people were not sharing
theirlives with Christ, and with
each other.”
“The Crusade uses the same
methods Jesus used to attract
disciples. It is the simplicity of the
concept that makes it so effective, ’ ’
she concluded.
For anyone wishing to become
involved, Miss Jamiesoncan be

Melville Guild meets
Melville Guild members held
their October meeting on Oct. 22 in
the church parlour. Sixteen regular
members and one visitor attended.
Elizabeth Jamieson and Joan
Exel were in charge of devotions,
opening with a hymn of Thanks
giving and a poem on the same
theme read by Joan. The scripture
from Thessalonians chapter 1 was
read in unison followed by a study
of the chapter conducted by
Elizabeth Jamieson who then led in
prayer.
Kathleen Semple presided over
the business portion, minutes
being read by Elunid McNair and
the treasurer’s report given by
Jeanne Ireland. Reports were
given concerning our birthday
party for September at the Nursing
Home, the Lions’ dinner and the
serving of the Progressive Conser
vative dinner in the arena.
