One of those pioneer girls from Pasadena married one of
our ministers--at that time stationed here in England--who had
graduated a few years earlier at Pasadena, and had been a Student
Body President there. The third of the three girl students sent to
that pioneer class from Pasadena graduated in 1962--received the
equivalent of a teacher's degree from the Royal College of Music in
London while here--and is now a member of the music faculty at our
new college in Texas. The other of the men students transferred
from Pasadena, a German-born student, graduated in 1961, and now is
in charge of the branch office of our German Department, stationed
at the college at Bricket Wood, and a faculty member teaching
German.
That accounts for the eight pioneer students sent over
here from Pasadena in 1960 to SET THE AMBASSADOR POLICY, SPIRIT,
AND CHARACTER in the new college here. Every one occupies an
important position in the very WORK OF GOD today.
Now a quick glance at the pioneer freshmen who entered in
1960. Two are now on the faculty here. One is supervisor of our
mailing room. One, whose wife was also a member of that class, is
manager of our offices in Geneva, Switzerland. One is now managing
our offices at Duesseldorf, Germany. He married a Pasadena student
later transferred here. One, married to one of those pioneer girl
students, is an ordained minister, pastor of a church in Brisbane,
Australia. Two are serving in our office in Johannesburg, South
Africa--one of these already an ordained minister. Two are serving
in the ministry in America and Canada, one already ordained--the
other soon to be. Two others of the girls of that first freshman
class have married ministers in God's Work. Two of the men have
important positions in our office here, and one is head of our
carpenter and cabinet-making shop.
Of the total of 35 pioneer students who started, 25 have
found important places in GOD'S WORK!
Co-Workers, I think that is a mighty fine record of
accomplishment for the very first class received into this college
in England four years ago. Those students are serving today in ALL
PARTS OF THE WORLD--Australia, South Africa, Switzerland, Germany,
England and Scotland, the United States and Canada!
This WORK OF GOD was virtually a one-man Work until
Ambassador College started in Pasadena, 17 years ago. Our colleges
are training important executives, ministers, teachers, college
professors, secretaries, for service all over the earth.
Jesus said the harvest (of precious lives for God's
Kingdom) is plenteous, but the LABORERS ARE FEW! He commanded us
to PRAY FOR God to send forth more laborers for the harvest. We
now have THREE Ambassador Colleges for training these called,
consecrated and dedicated people for these vitally important posts.
BUT THESE COLLEGES CANNOT GROW UNLESS we can continue our
expansion program for NEW BUILDINGS! We have to have dormitories
for students to sleep in and to study in. We must have dining
halls in which to feed them. We sorely need more and more class-
