William Russell Strassner was the president of Shaw University (1951-1962). Dr. Stealey offers a prayer, announcements, and introduction from 0:13-6:15. Dr. Strassner discusses life behind the ministry. He instructs the chapel that they don't choose the ministry, but rather, God chooses them for the ministry. He reminds them that being involved in the ministry and bringing salvation to others requires sacrifices. He encourages them to follow in the footsteps of Jesus and Paul as good examples.
