Evangelist to speak at CLC

will speak during the morning
service on Sunday, Jan. 20, at
10:30 a m. and again in the eve­

youth emphasis. He will also
speak from Monday through
Wednesday, Jan. 21 -23, at 7 p.m.
Bos was bom in the Nether­
lands 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 circum­
stances, and after a period of
teen-age rebellion, he forgot
about his vision, but God didn't.
When God regained his attention,
he re-committed his life to the
Lord, and was baptized with the
Holy Spirit,” according to a press
release. Before long Bos was in­
volved in a Pentecostal church
and in inner-city ministry.
A few years later he married
an American girl who worked
with Youth With a Mission in
Amsterdam, Holland. They now
have two children.
Upon arrival in the U.S., he
taught evangelism and disciple-
ship; worked as a coun-
selor/teacher and training center
director in the ministry of Teen
Challenge in Pennsylvania and
Washington; and served as pastor
and as an evangelist with a “heart
for missions”. He is an ordained
minister in the Assemblies of
God.
Everyone is invited to attend
the services.
