Has there been any concern by parents about their children joining HMS like there has been with the Children of God? "We welcome parents to come check us out because we're not a fly-by-night group. Nor are we in a heavy recruiting program like these cults, since we are not interested in large numbers like most cults or sects are moreover, when I was in the Jesus movement, I was making people aware of the Children of God, and later the Moonies and Hare Krishna's." The group in turn either worships or ministers in area churches Sundays to maintain contact. Come September the Highway Missionary Society will be seeking a permanent base in the area. Persons who may have a large house or know of two or three houses in close proximity can contact HMS for further information, phone 8261664fwrite PO Box 3244, Mission. to date there has been a cross-section of responses.

Most are happy to get a ride, and if they respond positively, "we try to get them into something that is happening; not a church where a watered-down Gospel is being preached, but a coffee-house, or home church or prayer meeting where they can get individual attention instead of a handshake or someone telling them to 'get your hair cut and get a "As Christians today," he continued, "it is not enough to echo empty platitudes, but we have to live like servants the Gospel is made relevant by living it, reaching out when we see a need regardless of race or creed. This is done by visiting the sick, clothing the naked, feeding the hungry, visiting the prisons. After meeting the physical need, then sharing that there is only one answer, being bora again by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour." Involvement is what keeps highway missionaries from becoming just another isolated introspective community in the hills, said Palosaari, and involvement is what will bring the young people back into the church. Only a relevant Gospel that gives them a vision and shows them that Christianity is exciting will reach them, he exclaimed, "not more roller skating hogwash that keeps together as a club." This approach is more necessary than ever, believes Palosaari, because "our children and young adults are more lost in this generation than ever before." Previously, there was drinking, then drugs, now it's drinking and drugs, he said, "there is no sense of control." For instance, in last week's Ab-botsford News, a little headline read "Traffickers dealt with severely," he said. "A few years ago just the fact that there were even traffickers in the school would have made top headlines.

Now it's just a little item about traffickers not being let back into school. People are just more callous." In order to reach young people, the society uses a band called "Servant" in its ministry. In fact, Palosaari considers that a music ministry is the most important way to communicate to the needs of this generation of non-Christians.

Thomas' New Album DROP IN AND VISIT US ANYTIME JUNE 8:00 P.M. by Frank Klassen Catering to a largely Canadian phenomena, Highway Missionary Society win" send two vans cruising the Trans-Canada from the Valley to the Okanagan Valley this summer, picking up hitch-hikers and "sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with them." The group of 20 adults and six children recently set up their training centre at Camp Luther, and expect to base their work out of the AbbotsfordMission area, according to founder Jim Palosaari. The society has been operating since January and was previously based in Victoria. In explaining the work, Palosaari noted that the Christian message has to become relevant for this generation of young people. One way is to meet the needs of those travelling the highways.

"I have travelled in-the U.S. and Europe," he said, "but with the Trans-Canada here, hitch-hiking (on such a large scale) is almost unique to Canada. Every summer it's like the oolichan run. So we go out, and rap, share and love them like modern-day Good Samaritans." Each van is equipped with a CB radio and first aid, while team members are trained in light mechanics to help stranded motorists. This training is part of a three-month program which also emphasizes evangelism and developing a Christian lifestyle.

"Christians are called to a lifestyle," said Palosaari, "because Christianity is not a once a week experience, but a way of life." As a result, the group lives a community lifestyle, he explained, "it's not a bunch of hippies living in a commune, but we share what we have and work as a unit." There is a definite Biblical basis for this found in Acts, he noted, and moreover, it will likely be "the way to live in the future in order to cut down in the area of energy usage because of the energy crisis." Currently, the community gets up at 7:30 a.m., has daily worship together and then everyone pitches in to do the various chores and duties. "It's not a chauvinistic thing, where the men go out to minister and women do the dishes," he said, "but everyone pitches in and is considered in full-time ministry." To support themselves, the group has been picking rhubarb, said Palosaari, and expects to pick berries and plant trees. By doing this type of seasonal work, they are "free from the affairs of this world to work in the Lord's i army." However, working the odd jobs would not be enough to live on, he said. It is the support of Christians who believe in the work that allows it to continue. So far the response in the Fraser Valley has been "phenomenal" with donations of food and money coming in as well as requests to hold services in the many churches.

What' about the response of hitch-hikers? "Since the group has only been going for five months, it's really too early to tell," replied Palosaari, however, LIBERTY UNION MARANATHA BAPTIST CHURCH Located In the ODD FELLOWS HALL On Gladys between Hazel and Pine, Abbotsford WORSHIP WITH US Sunday School 9:30 10:30 Worship Service Tuesday: 7:45 p.m. Midweek Fellowship Bible Discussion and Prayer Pastor J.
