Work-study

are
still
popu-
lar
in
Inter-America.
Our
outstanding

ministry
has
clubs
ranging
from
50
to
500
students
on
a
few
ele-
mentary
school
campuses,
in
most
of
the
secondary
schools,
and
at
all
the
tertiary
institutions.

Tribute
We
pause
to
mourn
the
deaths
of
several
teachers,
school
administra-
tors,
and
educational
workers
in
Inter-
America
during
this
five-year
period.
To
the
loved
ones
remaining,
we
say,
“Teaching
touches
lives
forever.”
The
Future
Our
challenges
for
the
next
quin-
quennium
include
the
following:
*
Establishing
one
church/elemen-
tary
school
for
each
pastoral
district.
*
Enrolling
Sabbath
school
children
in
our
elementary
schools.
*
Increasing
the
number
of
bap-
tisms.
*
Reviving
our
theological
seminary,
and
with
it,
our
graduate
school
closed
in
the
1980s.
To
these
ends,
we
work
and
pray
as
we
prepare
workers
for
service
here
and
for
a
life
in
the
world
to
come.—
