enable researchers to post their articles for
others to view, and where other online
referenced articles could be followed with a click
of a link. our religious literature should be put

they may see your good works and glorify your
Father which is in heaven." matt 5:16

evangelistic efforts
 We can do…
• an idea for people in graphic arts and people
who like to draw. can you not draw for God?
how many chapters are there in proverbs? how
many verses each, in average? how many art
students are there in aup? if we try to illustrate
proverbs verse by verse, or idea by idea, will it
not minister unto the students themselves aside
from ministering to the thousands who will see
your drawings of proverbs verses in the web?
will it not promote your art, our school, your
department, and lift up our God?
