runner-up, and Blair Keithley,
sxith grade, placed third.
Participants for the school

the same three questions and
responded in writing. Calvert
was the winner, 2-0. The final
question asked was, "When the
new Canadian Territory Nunavut
is created in April of 1999, it
will be controlled by the
predominant group of people
who live there. Name this group
of native people." Calvert
correctly answered, "Inuit."

Evangelist to speak at

Evangelist Pieter Bos of the
Assemblies of God will speak at
the Christian Life Center, 535
W. Morgan St., Heppner,
Wednesday through Friday, Jan.
13-15, at 7 p. m. and Sunday,
Jan. 17, at 10: 30 a. m. and at 6
p.m., according to Tim Van
Cleave, pastor.
Box was bom in the
Netherlands and was raised in a
Dutch Reformed home. His
desire to become involved in
ministry and missions started
when he was about 10 years old,
while he was attending a Sunday
School class where missionaries
were talking about their
experiences on the field.
"Having been raised under
extremely
difficult
circumstances and after a period
of teenage rebellion, he forgot
about his vision, but God didn’t."
When God regained Bos'
attention, he recommitted his life
to the Lord and was baptized
with the Holy Spirit.
Before long he was involved in
a Pentecostal church and in
inner-city ministry.
A few years later he married an
American girl who was raised in
a Mennonite home and then
worked with Youth With A
Mission in Amsterdam, The
Netherlands (Holland).
Bos and his wife, Jo Anne,
have two children.
Upon arrival in the U.S. Pieter
taught
evangelism
and
discipleship and worked as a
counselor/teacher and training
center director in the ministry of
Teen Challenge in Pennsylvania
and Washington as a pastor and
as an evangelist with a heart for
missions. He is an ordained
minister of the Assemblies of

The Official Newspaper
of the City of Heppner and the County of Morrow
God.
Bos says of his vision that as
we get closer to Christ's return ,
it is his hearts desire, now
stronger than ever before, "to see
the lost reached for Christ to see
the power of God manifested in
all the churches ... just as we
read in the Book of Acts." It is
his desire to "see the churches
on fire for God, glorifying God
by walking in unity, and see the
body of Christ filled with the
Holy Spirit to see God grow His
church daily with those who are
newly saved." (Acts 2-.47)
Bos says he wants to "motivate
the body of Christ to prayer, to
pursue Revival, to be filled with
the Holy Spirit, to operate in the
gifts of the Spirit , to built and
strengthen relationships, and to
become active participants in
fulfilling the great commission."
And it is his prayer that "all
people will be saved, delivered,
healed, restored, and reconciled
by the power of God."
The public in invited to hear
Bos Jan. 13-15 and 17 at
Christian Life Center.
