Featuring Aparri Bible Seminary
The 29th CommencGment exercises of Aparri Bible Seminary were held
on March 4, 1983, at the Aparri Church of Christ, with Lowell Applebury of
Bakersfield, California, as guest speaker. Seven young men received diplomas
and degrees, and seven girls their Christian Education certificates. Rogelio
Guillermo (left), an outstanding student and preacher, was valedictorian of the
class. He preached at the last chapel service of the Seminary. All these young
men are now out preaching in various places.
Harvey and Helen Beard were presented with
a special Certificate of Appreciation for their three
years of dedicated life and teaching at the Seminary.
Their presence has been a great blessing to students
and faculty alike, and they will be missed greatly.
Music plays a big part inSeminary life. Mrs. Bella
Tenorio's Voice Class presented a recital in
February. The choirs and various small groups and
soloists had a very successful Christmas concert,
presented in Aparri and five other nearby Church
es. Roberta taught a girls' trio and men's quartet
which alternated at the two high schools for the
Weeks of Evangelism in October and March.
Above, Charles Selby presents the Certificates
of Appreciation to Harvey and Helen Beard.

_ -f " ;r Charles taught his Exegesis class inthe Seminary Hall. Federico
rW "'' 'ft Bueno held his large Acts class in the dining hall, andHarvey Beard
^ ' taught Greek in the library. This shows the great need for more
classroom space. More than 100 students were crowded into these
and three other small classrooms this school year.
As soon as the architect finishes the blueprints and a permit to
build is granted, construction will begin on the new Seminary
building. The property is paid for, fenced, and materials are being
gathered. This will be a two-story building with a large chapel,
library, recording room and music practice rooms, as well as six
large classrooms. It will provide some room for growth in our

library; right, Federico Bueno in the we move ahead in faith that theLord will supply, since the need is so
dming^li:^ikhoverChurfe5 S-e/6s'-great, and it seems to be His leading to move forward. Any gifts for-

Building Fund". Pray with us that God will meet this need.

continuing to bless this ministry as a tool of evangelism.
An irrigation well at NIA ismaking it possible tohavecontinuing crops, as well as a new fish pond, which
will be a blessing to the school as well as to the community.

manager of Senior camp in April.
Cagayan Valley Children's Home
On December 11, 1982, Mary Pruitt, director of the CVCH, became of wife of
Gilbert Bureros, from Cebu. Ray Carlson performed the ceremony with Charles
rK^vT^ Selby assisting. Mary's parents, Bobby and Jean Pruitt, andNaomiGoode came
\ n Grants Pass, Oregon, and Bert's family from Cebu, as well as Carlsons and
A Dclmar Debaults from Cebu and Charles Littells from Davao. All of the 34
children took part in the unusual and lovely ceremony except the babies. Now the
n children havean Uncle Bert to helpAuntie Mary incaringfor them, and he isfitting in
^ very well. He had the opportunity to really get to knowthe hcildren when Mary had to
gone for a month in March. Little three-year-old Homy developed encephalitis and
^ ^ airlifted by U.S. rescue helicopter to Clark Air Force Base, where he and Mary
I spent a monthwhile he was given very wonderful treatment in theBasehospital. How
lhankful we were for this help and care from our U.S. government for a little
Filipino boy in desperate need. Romy is back home and improving daily as he learns all
over again to eat, walk, talk, etc. He seems very alert and we trust God to continue to
heal him. ,
This is Sammy, who had avery bad hare-lip, and has had two operations ffi |||S8||^
to correct it. Awonderful doctor in Manila performed thesewithout charge. K]
Mary also has two little girls with cerebral palsy, and she has received help
with their therapy through the Elk's Club. H
The oldest child in the home, Minda, graduated from high school at k . '
Northern Isabela Academy and will be a student in Aparri Bible Seminary P'
next year. Her brother, Ariel, attended SIA. Not all the children respond as \
we would like. Two older boys have recently chosen to leave the home SHhk y
rather than obey the rules. We continue to pray for them, and Mary has told
them they can return whenever they like, but that they must obey the rules. jlSi- I
