Columbia International University admits students of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin.

During this past school year wehave been engaged in a thoroughassessment and prayerful planning for

the future of the Alumni Ministries. The

members of the AlumniAssociationLeadership Council have been diligent

to work alongside the staff in our fu-

turecasting. The big idea that our plans

for the future revolve around is the reality of CIU alumni

truly being a global family. We have alumni living and

investing in people groups in 150 countries of the world.

And that does not come close to representing the influ-

ence and connections of our graduates who are praying,

supporting and connecting through technology.

I meet alumni who live in one place but who have beencalled to give away pieces of their hearts in many places.

This sense of being a part of Gods global redemptive

mission is bigger than how one may receive a salary or

where we have our mail delivered. It is the children of

God sharing the heart of their Father. It is the people of

God passing out invitations to become citizens of Christs

kingdom. Inside this issue you will see the idea of

GLOBAL flowing through our plans for Homecoming

and everything else we are doing. Watch the world news

carefully you may well see a familiar face in Haiti,

Egypt,Afghanistan, or France. We are everywhere byGods grace and in His strength.

To God be the glory, great things He is doing even in

our frail flesh!

Dr. Roy King

From the Director Keep It

RealBy Joan Dorman, CIU Alumni AssociationLeadership Council PresidentI t has been a real privilege for me to serve aspresident of the Alumni Association LeadershipCouncil (AALC) for the past three years. I was

surprised when Alumni Ministries Director Roy

King called to tell me I had been nominated to run

for president. Really, I thought I would be better

at cleaning the alumni building than leading the

people who serve as liaisons between alumni and

what goes on inside the CIU bubble, as the

students like to call it. Even though I was keeping

track of our Dorman tribe of nine, God thought

He could use my 19 years of ministry in the United

States and overseas, and experience as a nurse

in the marketplace, to serve you.

I have loved bringing real life to the meeting table.

It has been a pleasure to meet many of

you and hear the needs as you serve in so many

different capacities. Recently, the AALC has been

working with the Alumni Ministries staff to review

future plans and AALC governing documents. We

used an online survey to see what really connects

or is needed outside our bubble. Through phone

conferences and face-to-face meetings, we have

assembled a summary to present to the administra-

tion. In this economy, wisdom must be used inplanning and providing alumni services.

I rotate off the AALC in September and Shirley

Moreland will take the leading servant role. Merle

Dye, Rudy Oates and Lee Tumey will be finishing

their tenure as well. You have the opportunity to

vote for those who are to take their places. Please

take the time to follow the simple procedure

explained in this magazine to go online and vote.

Your voice, ideas and opinions matter and help the

AALC keep it real.

5/12SUMMER 2010

I love Miss.Ruby. Every-one loves Miss

Ruby. Ruby

Rikard Wilcox is a remarkable, spe-cial woman. She touches the heart

of every person she meets. Her love

for the Lord is so deep and she lives

her faith in a most humble way.

Ruby (37) and her sister Elizabeth

Rikard Sessions (43) are integral

members of the Praying Ladies; a

group of women who meet monthly

to pray for CIU. Their love for CIU,

for the faculty, staff and students

is evident in their daily lives. You

may recognize their maiden name

because of Rikard dining room, in

the CIU cafeteria, which is named

after their parents, Lewie and

Bertha Rikard.

Ruby met the love of her life, John,

while at CBC. Since they were not

allowed to announce their engage-ment before graduation, the day

after John graduated from CBC, he

and Ruby got engaged and six days

later they were married. They had

48 wonderful years together, and

were able to serve in six different

pastorates. After John passed away,

Rubys love for serving others

never stopped. She has four

support groups that meet in

her home once a month.

She says, They are young

women who are just seeking

to know the Lords will and

to follow Him and theyre

so responsive. I say to them,

Im not in authority, but Ive

had the experience and I loveto share it with you.

Ruby had been living alone, even at

the age of 93, until early March

when she had a mild stroke affect-

ing her ability to live independently.

I had the joy and privilege to visit

her since then and came away with

a deeper love for her and apprecia-

tion of how Scripture is so much a

part of her daily life. Even though

her body was weak, her spirit and

encouragement were strong.

She asked if I would pray for her

and I did; then she said she would

like to give me a benediction:

Hebrews 13:20-21

20May the God of peace, who

through the blood of the eternal

covenant brought back from the

dead our Lord Jesus, that great

Shepherd of the sheep, 21equip

you with everything good for

doing his will, and may he work

in us what is pleasing to him,

through Jesus Christ, to whom

be glory forever and ever. Amen.

It brought tears to my eyes how

precious Rubys spirit is, and how

encouraging just to be with her. Sh

told me how much she loves CIU.

She shared with me how when she

cant sleep, she quotes the Scriptu

alphabet. I asked her what she

meant. She said that she quotes averse for each letter of the alphabe

until she gets sleepy. She encour-

aged me to put the verses on a car

and keep it handy on the visor of

my car so I could quote them ever

day. We went through the list one

by one and it just amazed me how

sometimes with her eyes closed,

shed quote the Scripture, and how

much peace it brought her.

She wanted to get well quickly so

she could return home again. She

was concerned about the group of

young ladies that she teaches and

mentors weekly and hoped she

could resume soon.

She thanked me so much for

coming. I came away so blessed

by Miss Ruby and Im determinedto memorize Rubys Scripture

Alphabet, and I challenge you

to do the same. Youll find your

copy attached to the center of

this edition ofUpward.

Kumiko Jean Takeuchi (78)says about her life and ministry(quoted in the bookEngagingOur World): The Lord hasblessed me abundantly beyondmy basic needs or even beyondmy imagination. For the last 20years, I have focused on sci-

ence. I have strived to makelife better for people physically

and emotionally. God has blessed me with themeans and opportunities to engage in global evan-gelization without being distracted with earthlyconcerns. I would like to focus on God in what-ever I do for the next 20 years, should He allowme. I would like to strive and impact spirituallives of the lost. If this is not the American dreamfrom Gods perspective, then what is? EngagingOur World: Christian Worldview from the Ivory
