Conquerors, a group of 13 people who travel in the South leading youth rallys, attempted to bring Jesus closer to the youngsters they met. Conquerors used a different apprmich in their teachings about Christ. They attempted to reach a one-to-one relationship with the youth by discussion groups. Group members also lead in the singing, praying and preaching. Those in attendance at the rallys were encouraged through the use of skits and puppets too. The group, which is sponsored by Dean of Men Eddie Campbell, journeyed extensively during fall and spring. Stops were made in Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri and Arkansas while spreading the g<>CKl news. Conquerors existed mainly to help others but also did much good for the members themselves. Byron Fike, a junior member of Conquerors, said, "I feel that being in Conquerors has given me the opportunity to make some practical applications to my Christianity, I really enjoy talking with the kids about something that's important." The goal of the group is centered in on people. Another member, Gail Porter, stated, "I think our main objective is to help young people find out how much life really can mean." - Jimmy AI/en The women's club for service to others, JOY, involved approximately 120 members who participated in· a wide variety of areas'.
