Maypea rl, TX Woodroof team serves students Preaching four times each Sunday, teaching numerous Bible classes, attending to the other usual duties of a minister and caring for a family are the responsibilities of Jim Woodroof, minister of the College church of Christ. Woodroof and his family moved to Searcy in 1972, a year after returning to the States from a five year work in Christchurch, New Zealand. How does it feel to have the responsibility of preaching to about 3,000 people twice on Sunday?"lt is a great challenge. This challenge of meeting the spiritual needs of the college students and adult members of the congregation is one of the most exhilarating things I've ever done." With 2,700 students to try and fill spiritually, the needs would seem to be in 2,700 different areas, but Woodroof says, "I've found that meeting the needs of one meets the needs of another. However, the level of the students' needs do change." Holding such a schedule is very physically demanding as he says, "Yes, it is draining - both emotionally 140 - FRESHMEN and physically, but I love it." Louine, Woodroof's wife, plays an important role in his life as she maintains the home. With five children, her responsibilities are great also. In addition to her home duties, she teaches Bible classes, workshops, has a class for wives of CCP students and conducts a class on the home for college women. "My main role is in the home even though I enjoy very much \!VOrking with others." The College church, with 18 elders, is a unique congregation. According to Woodroof, "It's beautiful. The elders are very understanding. They leave me free to do my work yet at the same time work with me. I have to watch what I ask for; they almost invariably do whatever I ask." Woodroof has blessed many lives with his sermons and example of Christian living. Because of his devotion to Christ, many others have been brought closer to the Master. 1.
