As all of us know the emphasis for the winter quarter of the World Serv­ ice Fund of the Youth Fellowship is the self-Denial Offering. In the past we have taken this offering during Youth Week, but this’year we have heard and answer­ ed “The Call” during Youth Week. FOR THIS YEAR ONLY the Youth Fellowship Self-Denial Offering will be taken the week of MARCH 9 to 16. Now you are probably asking, “Where does our gift to the Self-Denial Offering go?” The youth of Ohio Sandusky Con­ ference will give their money to the Goiaz Bible Institute, in Brazil. In this school pastors, evangelists, teachers and the Christian workers are being trained for the Protestant churches in Brazil. Some building has been started there, but a large building program is necessary.’ Our money will be used to help make that needed construction possible.
