I wish you could be on campus to see our campus expansion
project. It was indeed a surprise to see many TV and radio
stations show up for our groundbreaking ceremony. The
area newspapers also provided great coverage. Our dorms
are full this year and overflowing, so the addition of 192 more
beds which will be ready next fall will give us the increased
capacity we need in order to accommodate the growth.

Building a legacy
one student at a time.
The face of our Broadcaster has taken on a new look as we
attempt to do our very best in presenting a publication which
reflects the excellence toward which we are reaching. I trust
you will see mirrored in these pages something of how God is
at work among us to impact the nations of the world for Him.
In 1939, my father started a college to equip young men and
women to change the world. I doubt he envisioned what it
has become today, but I have an idea he is looking down with
a smile on his face, a prayer on his lips, and great joy in his
heart. He no doubt is looking forward to the homecoming
of the entire WJU family which will fill up a portion of heaven
from at least 50 countries of the world where our graduates
serve! To God be the glory!! 2 0 0 8

s each new school year begins, I have an increasing
sense of God’s goodness and provision. When
the students arrive and I see their enthusiasm
and passion to make their lives count, there is renewed
hope for the future. God is moving among us to develop a
whole new generation of “world changers” for Christ…it is
an honor to share in their lives! In spite of what the news
media often says about this current generation, there are
many young people who want their lives to be meaningful
and we are blessed to have hundreds of them on campus.
Locally, God continues to give us favor with the community
and the churches. Our students serve the community with
projects weekly. Our staff and students are active in local
churches and serve in a multiplicity of ways. Our facilities
are used almost every weekend by a church, business,
or educational institution. This provides us with the
opportunity to serve our community, touch it with God’s love,
and at the same time, make WJU more visible to our region.

meet so many social, spiritual, and physical needs in both
of these countries. Literally thousands of people have
been touched by God’s love in ways which are making a
significant difference today. Hundreds of churches have
been planted, and two colleges have been started by our
graduates and are thriving. I had the privilege of speaking
in many churches, pastor’s gatherings, and conferences.
All of this is fruit from the labors of hundreds of people
sharing together through our 69 year history. Rick
Stedman, an alumnus and pastor of Adventure Christian
Church in Roseville, and I traveled together on this very
special missions trip. He has written his observations
which you will find in this edition of the Broadcaster.

Following graduation in May of this year, I had the privilege
of traveling to Cambodia and Korea to examine firsthand
the ministries of many of our graduates. It was indeed a

over 30 years, and also taught at SJBC for a time. Through
their evangelism, church planting, and disaster-relief
efforts, thousands of Cambodians have come to Christ.
Over 500 churches have been planted, and countless other
Cambodians have experienced the love of Jesus in gifts of
rice and mosquito nets. Moses is a truly remarkable Christian
leader - in my mind like the Apostle Paul
of Cambodia. Everywhere we traveled
we met and encouraged scores of church

struggling to rise from the poverty and devastation
inflicted on its people by the Khmer Rouge. South Korea on
the other hand, is a first-world country and is economically
strong - as we could see by the huge office buildings of
companies like Samsung, KIA and LG. These multinational
corporations have helped Seoul become a prosperous city
of over 12 million people.
We were able to spend time with Yoon Kwon Chae, a 1960
graduate of SJBC. [Pictured bottom, right] Chae has served
in Korea for over 40 years, as a church planting pastor,
university founder, president and professor, author, radio
preacher, and Christian orphanage founder and chairman.
After traveling a few days with this remarkable man, it
was clear that we were in the presence of deep Christian
greatness. In the orphanage ministry alone almost 1,000
Korean orphans have been adopted, loved, and led to Jesus.
They have been fed, clothed, and educated - many of them
even have studied and graduated at universities in the USA including WJU! Chae is a world-class hero!

Claremont Graduate School in 1989;
and a D.Min. in Spiritual Formation
from Azusa Pacific University in 2002.

But God had a surprise in store for me. I was able, along with
Bryce, to meet many unsung heroes of the faith, serving God
without regard for personal fame or prosperity. These selfless
souls have labored hard and long in very difficult fields, and
have by God’s grace brought in an amazing harvest of souls
and leaders. In addition, many of these heroes are graduates
of SJBC/SJCC/WJU. WJU has a mighty, world-wide impact.

Since I am a Christian leader and pastor, it was my special
honor to be able to travel 10 days to Cambodia and Korea in
May and June, 2008 with one of my heroes, Dr. Bryce Jessup
(my #1 hero is still my dad, so Bryce is near the top). I was
looking forward to many conversations together, ministering
together, and experiencing God together. In all those areas, I
was not disappointed.
Serving with Moses in AIM is another SJCC
graduate, the amazing Don Brewster,
along with his precious wife Bridget (okay
- here I admit I’m biased, because Don
was my Executive Pastor at our church
for 8 years). They felt called of God to
help care for young girls who were being
rescued from sexual slavery in Cambodia,
one of the worst countries in the world in
terms of these horrific crimes. Don and
Bridget relocated to Cambodia, and aided
by other church members and friends, began an after-care
center called ARC - Agape Restoration Center. Bryce and I
were able to visit the center and meet these young women
personally. We saw firsthand how God is transforming their
lives from ashes to beauty. Cambodia is a very difficult place
for Westerners to live and work, yet Don and Bridget have
done on extraordinary job. With Christ-like attitudes, their
center is now becoming known world-wide as a model for
after-care ministries. And let me hasten to stress that ARC
is a true ministry - the girls are led to Jesus as the only one
capable of healing and helping them recover. In my mind,
Don and Bridget are modern day heroes, serving quietly but
gloriously.

professors or trustees at Seoul Christian University. Most
of them are also ministers in churches. Yoon Kwon Chae’s
wife, Kook Ja Chae, is also an SJCC graduate and is serving
as Director of the Christian orphanage. While in Seoul, Dr.
Jessup and I were honored to speak at the 2008 Restoration
Symposium, during which Dr. Jessup was presented with an
honorary doctorate [Pictured left]. For me, that moment was
one of the highlights. The man who has been a model and
hero for me in ministry was honored by heroes and examples
of the faith in a completely different culture and language.
It felt a little bit like heaven - when the Lamb will say, “Well
done, good and faithful servant,” to individuals unknown by
human standards, but heroes by heavenly standards. It gave
me courage and inspiration to keep serving and fighting the
good fight on this side of glory.

Students Make Global Impact with Tanzania Mission
A
s a student of William Jessup University, I am
blessed to have opportunities to travel and
serve in other countries. I recently joined a
team of students and staff on a life-changing journey
to Kigoma, Tanzania. In preparation for our trip, we
met every other week to prepare our hearts and
minds for our ministry. During those few months, our
team grew closer and eventually became a family.
On May 18, 2008 we packed up two SUVs, hopped
on four planes, and piled into one land rover. Two
days later we arrived in Kigoma, Tanzania, and were
greeted by our loving hosts, Jessup alumni Harold
and Connie Knepper from Hope of the Nations.

It is easy to say that children are the future leaders of the
world. However, how can children possibly lead if they are
not taken care of, shown their importance in God’s eyes, and
taught how to love others? “He took a little child and had
him stand among them. Taking him in his arms, he said to
them ‘Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my
name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not
welcome me but the one who sent me.’” (Mark 9:36-37)

Most of the children come from families with only one
parent, most likely a mom. Some of them come from
Muslim families and do not learn about the personal Jesus
of the Bible. Although I sometimes doubt my ability as
a teacher or wonder if it is where God is leading me, this
trip to Tanzania has confirmed my passion for working
with children. They are incredible gifts from God.
We had the pleasure of serving in a children’s ministry called
Kids Club led by a group of Tanzanian nationals in four
different villages. One day we prepared to go to a village
by the name of Livingston. The plan was to play with the
kids that gather around a local monument, but we got word
that it was not safe to teach and that we should stay away
from the village. We spotted two of the Kid’s Club leaders
who told us there was a large group of children waiting
behind a home in Livingston ready to hear about Jesus.
Although we knew it might not be safe, God provided a
way for us to teach. Our teaching included a play about
Daniel and the Lion’s Den, a short message about the power
of prayer, and a craft. Despite opposition, the children
of Livingston got to hear of the love of Jesus that day.

The Public Policy Department sponsored an economic
roundtable on human trafficking on September 26. The
roundtable was co-sponsored by the Orange County Task Force
on Human Trafficking, Agape International Mission, as well as
the Business Department and Chapter of International Justice
Mission at William Jessup. The event drew approximately 60
attendees from on campus and around the region.
The event featured the U.S. State Department’s senior advisor
on the issue, Laura Lederer, the executive director of the Office
to Monitor Trafficking in Persons. Expert panelists from the
academic, business and policy sectors from California State
University, Sacramento, Pepperdine, Vanguard and William
Jessup also participated in the event.
WJU Friends and Neighbors Inspired, a subcommittee of
the University Community Relations Council, hosted its first
mini-conference in September. It was a great way to begin
the Inspired’s charge of providing meaningful interaction and
support for the life of the University. The event sold out at
230 attendees from a variety of communities and churches in
Placer County.
Field archaeologist and professor at William Jessup University,
Dr. Merilyn Copland, gave a presentation titled “Israel at 60:
The Ten Most Important Archaeological Discoveries in the
Last Sixty Years.” This year, Israel is celebrating its 60th birthday
as a modern nation, and the committee felt it an appropriate
time to consider how much more we know about antiquity
in general and the Bible in particular from those 60 years.
Merilyn has traveled extensively and invited members of the
conference to join her on her next educational tour.

the University awarding over $2.2 million in scholarships
last year, non-capital gifts to the University (which totaled
$1,012,818 in the fiscal year 2007-08) are not enough to fully

“William Jessup University was the perfect balance of providing me with the
opportunity to finish my career goals with a faith based foundation. The teacher
education program gave me the tools that are rooted in character development and
practical experience which enabled me to continue my journey; one of investing in
young peoples’ lives. I will forever be grateful to the University and staff for their
impact on my life and the Rocklin community.”

Mickey taught school to help Chuck through
graduate studies, during which time they

Merilee.
In the early ‘70’s, anticipating mission service,
the Richards formed an incorporated, nonprofit mission called “Scripture Translation for
In 1992 the Richards were honored at
the International Christian Convention, held at the Philippine
Convention Center in Manila, for their finished publication of the
Itawes New Testament. Later, using a Wycliffe computer program,
the Richards also made a translation for the Malaweg people,
a group of about 30,000 in the mountains of western Cagayan,
closely related to the Itawes. Around the same time, their Itawes
edition sold out, calling for a reprint. They decided to revise it and
put it with the Old Testament under one cover.
Prior to becoming missionaries, the Richards were well received
as a ministering team in local churches in Washington, Idaho, and
California. The latter included the Green Valley Christian Church
in San Jose, and the West Lynwood and University churches in
southern California. Charles pursued a linguistic program at
UCLA, eventually receiving the Ph.D. in 1971. When a teaching
post in a Bible college did not materialize, he and Mickey turned
Every People” (STEP). They went to Wycliffe’s
Jungle Camp in Mexico, and in 1974 this well
experienced, middle aged couple went to the
Philippines. After intensive language study, they began Bible
translation with the lowland Itawes group, about 100,000 in
number, in Cagayan Province in northern Luzon. During their
three decades of translation work, they also preached and taught.
Two of their four Itawes workers, fruits of their ministry, were sent
to Aparri Bible Seminary in Cagayan.
The task has not been easy. In their advanced years, Chuck is being
treated for prostate cancer, and Mickey has difficulty breathing
without the use of an inhaler. Yet, they keep cheerfully plugging
away, determined to finish their revision of the Itawes Bible and
deliver it to the typesetters in November. They leave a proud
legacy of giving the Itawes and Malaweg people the Word of God
in their own language.

Audrey West Alumnus Still Serving at Age 100!
A
school teacher from Kansas, Audrey (Isaacs) West earned a Bible
degree from San Jose Bible College in 1944. Her credentials and
gentle mannerisms attracted the administration to request that
she teach English for the college. She did this for seven years until she
was challenged to serve in missions by Japan missionary, M.B. Madden. In
February of 1953 she sailed for Japan. For over 55 years, Audrey West has
continued to witness for Christ in the mountains of Okayama. Her 100th
birthday was on September 16 of this year.

He has a passion for taking what students
learn in textbooks and applying it to real
life experiences. “I want them to become
problem-solvers. That’s a life skill they
can use for the rest of their lives,” says
Crosson. He attempts to create lessons
with cross-curricular applications. For
example, a recent study on the subject of
immigration allowed for exploration of
economics, capitalism, heritage, history
and entrepreneurship. Crosson chose
to teach at Rocklin Academy, a charter
school, because it allows him to work with
kids at an important age and lets educators teach collaboratively based on their
mastery of various subjects.
O
n a typical day this year, in a hot,
humid village in northern Luzon,
Philippines, four Itawes preachers
are giving feedback on recent translations
of the historical books of the Old Testament.
Gathered around a table the reviewers do their
work. Dr. Charles Richards feels that the time is
well spent in correcting mistakes and making
additional changes. Mrs. Richards role has been
helping in computer preparation and revision.
Six revisions are required prior to putting
text into the printer’s hands. Their goal is an
accurate updated translation which is easily
readable in the language of the Itawes.
