University students may not
give much thought to what goes
on at Northwest Christian Col
lege, which enrolls only 300
people hut this small, private
college is more closely tied to
the University than many peo
ple realize
Each year. NCC graduates
leave Kugene with degrees in
Itelcis ms diverse as biology,
economics and Asian studies
Hut while their degrees say

Location was a ktsy factor
when Pastor Eugene Sanders
founded NCC in lHUfi By situ

University, Sanders hoped to
offer higher education that in

And many NCC students
have caught on to the idea
Student latnal Ward said he
was drawn to NCC because of
its Christian foe as and proximi

worlds," said Ward, who
would like to work in Christian
television, particularly as a
minister "I can combine minis

un Evangelism 1, 11 and III.
Professor Charles Sturms,
who teaches the Evangelism 1
( lass, said the course involves
more than just converting new
Christians
"This ts not a preacher
c lass," he said. "There's an
ugly stereotypical image of
Christians, from the Crusaders
to modern televangelists."
With that in mind. Sturms
teaches ins students the impor
tance of tolerance for non
Christian views He routinely
assigns his students to sit down
for a one-on-one talk with a
Buddhist, Muslim or other per
son whose beliefs differ from
Christianity
"1 toll them, Sit down, shut
up and just listen ' The student
is not allowed to talk,'' Sturms
said "The next day, I ask them
to articulate the other person's
world views
l‘he for us is not preaching,
he said, hut cross-cultural com
munication
"What were doing here ts
wiring people up to talk to peo
ple who aren't like them,"
Sturms said
Sturms is leading his class
down to Armitago Park Thurs
day. where they will listen to
people in the homeless en
campment explain their predic
ament.
The homeless issue involves
N(i() students, he said, because
many students have strong
views about social agencies like
the Eugene Mission, and what
those agencies' responsibilities
a re.
"Again, I told them they
won’t lx: able to talk 1 want to
help them think through the
other people's side," Sturms
said.
Though not all NGC students
plan on becoming evangelists,
many say they will spread the
word in whatever profession
they choose.

"Lots of whut we do here is
learn to be ministers out in the
world, whether formal or infor

Beardsley.
