A major contribution made by CCI to the Synod is that within the southwestern states a significantly higher number of young men and women are determining to enter full-time church work than ever before. Christ College is an ensign of our Synod's strength in the rapidly growing South- west. Placement In 1982 seven graduates were placed in Lutheran ele- mentary and preschools, and one in a Lutheran secondary school. Two individuals enrolled in postgraduate teacher education programs. Eleven graduates will be eligible for placement this vear—one candidate being a placement candi- date pending from last vear. This vear two DCE’s, the first from CCI, will be eligible for placement in Lutheran congregations. In 1984, 25 Lutheran teachers and 10 DCE placements are expected. The Southern California District alone has 240 congregations, 125 schools, including 35 preschools and 9 high schools, and 1,043 teachers (797 full time, 246 part time).

Degree Program (two-year) Colloquy Program The teacher and director of Christian education colloquy programs were formally established in January 1982. In the first year of the program there were over 75 inquiries for program requirements, more than 50 applications were re- ceived, and as of February 1983, 22 candidates have been accepted. At present 140 individuals (20%) of the Southern California District's education ministers still require the colloquy to become called church workers. The need is equally significant among teachers in the California-Nevada-Hawaii District Ethnic Mininstries Training Program Twelve college credit lay ministries training programs are being prepared for Spanish and Chinese ethnic ministries. As of February 1983, 14 applications had been received (10 Hispanic and 4 Chinese). Ten individuals are beginning instruction this month in the Los Angeles and San Francisco areas. Courses in Old Testament, New Testament, and doctrine will] be the initial educational experiences of these candidates. The remaining courses to be completed over the period of the next two years include the role of the lay minister, church administration, media and instructional techniques, making calls, Luther and the church, evangelism. various Bible books, and religious education resources. Each course will require approximately 10 weeks to complete. It is to be taught by the local pastor and will be supervised by the college and supported by the Southern California District. Graduates from this program will be permited to enroll in additional college course work leading to pastoral, teaching, and DCE ministries should they so desire. Great Commission Emphasis Major student endeavors continue to grow out of concern for mission and ministry among non-Anglo cultures. CCI has had students in study in Hong Kong, Mexico City. and India. Participation in weekend evangelism efforts on behalf of congregations in the Pacific Southwest also forms a regular part of the life pattern for a large numer of CCI students. During the 1981—82 academic vear CCI students combined 4.000 hours of evangelism activity.
