Located on flat sandy land two and a half hours east of Interstate 95 and just 45 minutes north of the Marine base at Camp LeJeune, the one room, one teacher school at New Bern, North Carolina, is quite a contrast from the large multi-teacher schools of western North Carolina. A year and a half ago Gordon Klocko, the su- perintendent of educa- tion for the Carolina Con- ference, was looking for a teacher to fill the va- cancy at the New Bern school. At that time there were only five students meeting in the little sanc- tuary of the New Bern church. The modest school at New Bern had its prob- lems. There were parents who felt the public school system was better equipped to teach their children. Some felt the nondenominational Christian school next door was the answer. Still others believed in the "Home Study" program. There were, however, a few at New Bern who Brandon Lee and Kelly Mulens with their teacher, Rand!

Prior to writing to service people the children were already correspond- ing to missionaries in for- eign fields. There are two major "work study" projects the children work together on when the weather turns nice in the spring: the school garden and the real estate sign prdject. A large real estate agency in town had the school repaint all of its signs, thus providing the revenue the school needs for its various school projects. Randi, in her unassum- ing way, will tell you that none of the progress at the school was possible with- out the Lord or without the help from her two teacher assistants, Jenny Pittman and Diana Smith."It shows all," reports Klock°, "what As children from the New Bern school pledge allegiance to the flag many of them can't help thinking can be done when teaching of their fathers who are serving in the Persian Gulf. and leadership skills are combined with the Holy soon making the hour-long trip to school the public school students Spirit and trust in the Lord." ❑J New Bern to enroll their children in are behind, even the honor stu- "the Lord's school." dents.

He reminded Randi, however, that he didn't want his son to be taught anything that was not in the Bible. Randi assured him that she taught only that which was in the Bible. If anything was ques- tioned, it was understood that he should stop by to discuss it with Randi. Recently the pastor's son wrote a beautiful paper on the Lord's Sabbath. To this day, the boy's father has never stopped in. "Stand Up Stand Up for Jesus" is the song sung every day for worship. The children study the Bible and Early Writings daily. Geometry, algebra, and Spanish are all part of the curriculum at the New Bern school.

As the story unfolded the Path- finders learned how God protected this man as he faced certain death from withering enemy fire. Accord- ing to some witnesses, he saved 100 soldiers. Desmond insisted it was no more then 50. The official record says 75. Before and after each meeting, dozens of Pathfinders lined up to get an autograph from this special man. Although the flurry of activity may not be as profound as it was on the island of Okinawa in 1945, Desmond and Dorothy Doss have an itinerary that takes them to many local functions and to appointments across the United States. U.S. News and World Report recently produced a six-part tele- vision series that chronicles the true-life stories of Medal of Honor winners. The sequence telling Desmond's story aired nationally on November 11, 1990.

Ron Halvorsen, Southern Union Church Growth Evangelism director, con- ducted a three-day session with 33 lay preachers who attended the Lay Pastoral Assistant's Training Seminar at riosoco Pines Ranch March 8-10. This specialized training was given to equip church leaders with skills and sermons to meet the needs of their congregations. Halvorsen declared, "People have been bruised through the week—they have come to church for healing. Jesus Christ is that heal- ing. When you preach on prophecy, preach Jesus in prophecy. Old Tes- tament? It is Jesus of the Old Testa- ment. When you preach about the Sabbath, preach Christ of the Sab- bath. Preach healing—preach Jesus."
