Loma Linda (Cal.) College of Evangelists

By Dr. G. K. Abbott

God’s blessing rested upon the work of the Loma Linda College of Evangelists during the last year. He has brought us to the beginning of another year’s work and study, with renewed promise of his abiding presence.

Up to date, there are fifty-eight students in attendance, a gain of about twenty over last year. Outside of the regular courses offered, many are taking special training for a speedy fitting up that they may quickly enter the needy fields. Two regular courses are offered,—one for evangelistic physicians and one for missionary nurses. It is the special aim of the school to prepare workers for the “ministry of healing,” to labor for both the physical and the spiritual uplifting of the needy. These courses, in full or in part, are also offered to those who wish to engage in the gospel ministry, Bible reading, canvassing, health and temperance work, and other departments of the work.

There is a decided spirit of earnestness and consecration manifested among the young people who have gathered here for this training. A live Young People’s Society has been organized in connection with the school and sanitarium. We hope that many nurses who have previously labored in professional lines will see the great need of gospel workers, and ask the Lord, “What wilt thou have me to do?” “There is no limit to the usefulness of the one who, putting self aside, makes room for the working of the Holy Spirit upon his heart, and lives a life wholly consecrated to God.”
