If you can answer "yes" to --

•p aside, you're in the middle
along line of people who feel
e same way you do. There
ust be some means of escape
im this - God does not want
e times when we meet to talk
Him to be boring. He has
ven us this privilege so that
may be filled with Himself,
that we may experience the
orking power of His Holy
)irit. If you have been sear-
ing for an escape from the pit
coarse, empty, heartless
ayer, then I think that the
swer for which you may have'
•en seeking has finally come.
hrist has finally come through
breaking down those walls of
adition in a new and exciting
ay.
"Conversational Prayer"
ay be the answer for you. -It is ,
means by which you can ex-
•rience real honesty, a real
•ncern for others, and a real
eve for others and for God.
his is possible because of the
nique and perfect way that
hrist reveals Himself -to an in
ividual. Heaven and earth
•em to unite and the Holy
pirit is in the middle -of it all.
Conversational Prayer is
xactly what the word suggests
it is a conversation with God
r Jesus. The"difference ,being
at it is not between one per -
on only and God while
verybody else just .listens
r goes to sleep, it is conver-
ation among a group of people
with each other and
od° Because of this, you
'ecome more aware of the
ther person his needs
he way he reacts and the
hings that_ are, important oto
im. You wabecome more are
if the other person's• seri
itivities. This gives you a bet-
er understanding _-of , each
other. You become more to
•ach other than mere acquain-
ances - ,you become bonded
:lued together in love - love
hat is there to stay because ..:
aybe for the first time
Christ is beepine a real person
'to each one.
- In Conversational Prayer, no
one dofninates. Each person
says what is on his mind and in
his heart: concerning a par-
ticular topic. You express your
needs and pray for each other.
You thank God for victories
that have been won in your life
and in each others lives: Each
person prays in short sentences
..,and,speaka.matlywtimes, as in a
conversation. Many topics are
shared but you do not jump
from one to the other. Share
one at a time and in doing this
you keep a steady stream of
conversation going with, God.
It is important net to meet in
too Targe a group because there
is a _ better feeling of unity in a
small group than in a large
one. If necessary, break up into
several small groups and have
two or three prayer groups hap--
pening at once. It is also very
helpful if you sit in a circle,
holding hands with the person
on - either side of .you - yes, I
said holding hands - no one
will 'bite you and you would be
surprised how close it draws a
group together.
In doing this prayer takes on
a whole new look. It is' tran-
sported from what may be a
dull meaningless act of
obedience into an exciting and
meaningful day°by day, -minute
by minute experience with God,
Jesus Christ, and the Holy
Spirit.
O.K. so now you know what
it is all about and what can
happen as a result of Conver-
sational Prayer - but you are
scared - right? You arescared
you will say the wrong thing, of
you are -scared you will show
your emotions - well so what!
This is not an academic thing
with. me. I have experienced
this joy and excitement of Con-
versational Prayer and ,it has
changed me. I hope it is as
valuabje to you.

to universities, Christian
'colleges, and Bible schools, Mr.
Gorsline confronts youth --with....
Christianity and its relation -1
ship to world problems. He per-
sonally corresponds with scores
of young people about oppor,
tunities for service and.
processes their applications for
missionary careers.
Concerned for the goals -of
young people, Mr. Gorsline
directs the varied youth
ministries of the OMS, in-
cluding, camps, retreats, rallies,
and international crusades.
One of the very popular
programs he directs is the sum-
mer missionary program for
Fronk Gentian
hollegiansv the NOW Corps
(Novice Overseas Witness).
Mr. Gorsline has recently
Key 73 - a call for. North
Americans to witness for Jesus
This -the year ' for Key 73.
What is Key 73?
Very simply, Key 73 is a plan
to confront every man, woman
and child in North America
with The Lord Jesus Christ.
About half of the people on
this continent claim member-
ship in some 340,000 Christian
churches. It is anticipated that
more than 200,000 will par-
ticipate in Key 73.
Both the ipotential par-
ticipation arid the potential
targets. 'are about the same
100 trillion people. Key 73
proposed- to confront all of
them -with the claims of Christ.
The program actually got
started about five years ago
when a number of leading chur-
chmen . of several
denominations responded
favorably .to an editorial in
3..., J � A I t,;
Christianiek Today calling for 'a ;
pooling of manpower and
resources to carry out the Great
Commission -of Christ.
The first meeting was called.
by Dr. Carl F. H. Henry, former
editor of the magazine and Dr.
Billy Graham, the evangelist. It
was held in a motel near the
Francis Scott Key Bridge in
