International Institute 1970 featured daily workshops on witnessing and equipped students to share their faith with others.

The event saw 200 students indicate a call to missionary service with another 200 expressing a call to another form of Christian ministry.

The 1966 International Institute ended with a special witnessing project coordinated by the Colorado District NYPS.
