That December my parents (Dwight and Barbara Slaters, missionaries with CBFMS, now WorldVenture) were asked to go to Urbana ’70 to represent the mission there. Glenn and I rode from Michigan down to Urbana IL with them. We were both deeply stirred by the messages, but the key one was Paul Little’s on finding the will of God. Glenn and I were not sharing how deeply we had been impacted by this with each other. What happened was that at the last meeting, students were given an opportunity to stand in response to a series of topics, beginning with having discovered Jesus as Savior, to general dedication to whatever he would ask, and ending with affirming God’s call of that person to missions. Glenn and I both popped from our seats — not wanting the other to think that, if they stood, we were following them. Three years later we were married, and in 1977 were appointed by CBFMS to go serve in Côte d’Ivoire. Now retired, we are immensely grateful to the Lord for leading us together into this ministry of taking the Good News to an unreached people group there. His will is the one to affirm!
