New Press Management Structure Voted
FAMILY TRADITION: When Sarah, the daughter of Elder and Mrs. Augustus C. Bordeau (brother of D. T. Bordeau, who was one of the first Adventist ministers sent to California), married Elder Rodney S. Owen, she had no idea what kind of tradition she was beginning. However, Sarah’s daughter Mary became the wife of Elder Walter J. Blake. Their daughter Florence married Elder Fred E. Mote, and their daughter Ardena became Mrs. Robert E. Parks, whose minister husband is now the director of Trust Services for the Oregon Conference. Betty Parks married Jim McMurry, minister of youth at Carmichael, California, last June. A second-generation minister, Jim is the son of Elder and Mrs. Frank McMurry at Modesto’s Parkwood church. The last three generations of this family tradition are pictured here. (Editor’s Note: While the RECORDER steadfastly follows the practice of refraining from carrying wedding announcements, this six-generation-minister-family seemed a bit unusual. Our prayers continue for all those touched by the lives in this heritage.)

Having used television as a ministry almost as long as there has been TV, the Seventh-day Adventist Church during February takes a bold new strengthening stride in financing three nationwide telecasts.
Since Faith For Today was introduced to national audiences 34 years ago, television has proven a viable ministry—supported now by the second generation of converts to Christ from those original

In a departure from the annual Faith For Today offering, these three ministries will share this year in what is hoped can be the Church’s first million-dollar offering for television.
Both expensive and effective, messages on television reach into the high-rises, behind locked doors, into the privacy of homes, where they can speak to hearts. And so, considering these millions reached by the complementary programming, television is also inexpensive per capita.
It Is Written is the only one of the Church’s telecasts to air the same program in any given week coast to coast, a step the Board of Directors took about a year ago. Such programming encourages concerted advertising, making

February Offering Will Finance Telecasts
■ (Continued from page 1) possible the airing of mini-series such as those on the health principles of Hunzaland and the roots of the Bible in the Holy Land. During the last three weeks of March It Is Written will air programs telling who and where Seventh-day Adventists are.
Pioneer in seminar follow-up, It Is Written now is introducing 30 lessons on video cassettes, building through the doctrines with strategy for decisions and commitments to Christ. Financed by two lay members at a cost of $250,000, the cassettes are thus being marketed more inexpensively to the churches.
Breath of Life shares some of Faith For Today’s Bible courses in this unified televison venture, though primary follow-up is done through evangelistic services conducted by Elder Brooks and his staff in areas where the telecast has been aired for a year. More than 2,700 have joined the Church to date from these major campaigns, and Breath of Life churches were established in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C.
Currently aired regularly via satellite across North America, Breath of Life is released on 1,200 cable stations primarily. Its format includes music, interviews, forums and preaching.
Faith For Today follow-up is developing through its new Faith Associates, lay members in every section of North America who have volunteered to become friends of those who have inquired. In addition, the Bible School operates with five major
Patzer Elected Chairman of AAFS
Jere D. Patzer
Jere D. Patzer, executive secretary of the Upper Columbia Conference, was elected chairman of Adventist Adoption and Family Services at a recent meeting of its executive and national boards.
His election to this post reflects the long-standing
interest he has maintained in young people and family relationships. Prior to his present employment Elder Patzer was youth director of the North Pacific Union Conference and had previously served in similar positions in the Oregon and Pennsylvania conferences and was a church pastor for several years. One of his latest books, Before You Burn the Rule Book, deals with how a Christian can relate to moral standards of the Church.
His concern for the salvation of children born to unwed mothers is great, but that concern also extends to those young mothers who, he says, “need an extra amount of Christian brotherly love. While we may not see immediate baptisms among the adopted children, we can, as individuals and AAFS work for the salvation of those unwed mothers who often feel a deep separation
courses, and Elder and Mrs. Fagal keep up their correspondence despite retirement.
Because Faith For Today’s commitment is to those who do not regularly watch religious television, its format continues to revolve around the true-to-life parable or story. However, it has suffered a loss of stations over the past decade, as stations formerly offering public service hours have reduced free airtime. Thus, the board has commissioned Dan Matthews, current director, to gear his staff to the preparation of prime-time specials, which must be purchased anyway. Moreover, the new approach includes ‘‘windows” in the programs for the sale of tasteful commercials which also provide income to the station.
Syndicators are now considering the promotion of a series for youth and their problems, from a pilot entitled “Getting It Together.” And in March the premiere showing of a Christian couple’s challenge by cystic fibrosis is scheduled.
Video Cassettes Enhance IIW Seminars
George Vandeman and Roland Lehnhoff have conducted the first It Is Written “Truth for the End Time” seminars using video cassettes as a means of following up the initial meetings.
“Truth for the End Time” is sent as a complete witnessing kit to pastors and laymen. It contains 30 videotaped messages from Pastor Vandeman, accompanying study guides, New King James Bibles, and copies of Cry of a Lonely Planet. The package is
from God and their church.”

Dollis Mae
Someday I’m going to write a book. It’ll be my favorite of all I have ever published. I’m going to call it simply, Dollis Mae.
You see, Dollis Mae and I have been married over 51 years; and I still think she is the most wonderful girl in the world. So wonderful, there’s enough to write a whole book about her!
Let me give you a sneak preview. She is a loving and lovable Christian. She loves her Saviour, her Bible and her Church. She prays for me. She encourages me. She is a lady. She is delightfully feminine. She is thoughtful. She is a soft-spoken, gentle person. She does not nag. She is not a complainer. She has never embarrassed me.
She takes an interest in my work without instructing me how to do it. She treats members of my family as though they were her own. She keeps our home neat and tidy without making it uncomfortable to live there. She has never given me any cause to doubt her love for me.
Now, my wife would be terribly embarrassed if she knew I was writing these things, for publication! And I guess I must admit to some bias. But I want to say it to the world, and so I shall. An ordained minister of the gospel must tell the truth.
Reruns sustain the ‘‘Westbrook Hospital” series, some localized by area pastors appearing on TV with the announcements and book offers.
The three ministries—It Is Written with its viewer involvement, Breath of Life with its diversified dialoguing, and Faith For Today with its initiative focus on spiritual values—targeted for specific goals and groups include something for virtually every American or Canadian public. Their common ministry is to display a hopeful alternative lifestyle before North Americans by introducing viewers to Jesus Christ and the peace and security which only He can provide for times like these.
These are your ministries, dear reader, for which you have asked Dan Matthews, George Vandeman and Charles Brooks to give guidance. They and their boards will know next month by your gifts that your prayers are also with them in these outreaches which go beyond the pulpits of your own congregations.
designed to take viewers through a step-by-step doctrinal study.
“These are not sit-back-and-watch sessions,” Elder Lehnhoff explains. “Viewers mark their Bibles and cross-reference texts. They become participants in putting Biblical truths together.”
Local pastors introduce each video cassette and continue to guide participants in the system of Bible marking. At the end of each study guide is an exercise entitled “And Now—Your Turn.” The host pastor can use this section to begin establishing a relationship with participants as he draws out their thoughts and questions.

Fuentes is Central Spanish Associate
Gerald S. Fuentes has joined the Southern California Conference staff as associate pastor of the Central Spanish Church in Los Angeles.
Born in Worcester, Massachusetts, he received a bachelor’s degree from Antillean College in Puerto
Rico in 1983.
Pastor Fuentes has a strong interest in music, having sung in choirs and select singing groups thoughout academy and college. “I am making music a strong part of my present ministry,” he says.

After breakfast and a joint devotional each morning, the two groups separated for individual sessions. Experienced and new teachers and ministers said they were enlightened by the wealth of information disseminated. A highlight of the retreat was the candlelight communion service conducted by Conference Treasurer T. H. Bledsoe.
The following new workers were introduced: teachers—Kathie Blunt, Safford; Craig Bradley, Flagstaff; Deborah Head, Yuma; and Ken Wickersham, Tempe; ministers — Alvin LeCount, Phoenix South Mountain; Brian Wahl, associate pastor, Glendale; and Keith McBeth, Camp Verde.
Teachers expressed their appreciation to the administration for the well-planned combined retreat. Several said, “It really made me feel like a part of the Arizona Conference team!”
On the last day of the retreat, before leaving the dining room, the group applauded Mrs. Bonnie Speicher and her helpers for the delightful food service.
Conference Vice President for Administration Lorenzo Paytee speaks for the organizational service of the Vietnamese Church in Glendale while Elder Le Huu, former pastor of the congregation, now pastoring in Loma Linda, translates.
First Officially Organized Vietnamese Church of North America is in Glendale
Adventist church history occurred July 30, when the first officially organized Vietnamese Church in the North American Division was organized in Glendale.
The congregation pastored by Le Cong Giao is a nucleus of refugees from the Communist takeover of South Vietnam in April 1975 and the ensuing influx of boat people to the United States in recent years.
Pastor Giao vividly recalls the events leading up to the fall of Saigon and his miraculous last-minute escape at the airport. “I thought I would be left at the gate,” he recounts.
Now, eight years later, the congregation of 192 believers rejoices that it is an officially organized church. It meets in Thomas Hall, adjacent to Glendale Adventist Medical Center.
It was appropriate that the main speaker at the organization service was Ralph Watts, Jr., president of the Southern California Conference; for it was Elder Watts who was responsible for overseeing the evacuation of 410 people from Saigon, including Elder Giao and some of the Glendale congregation. At that time Elder Watts was the president of the Southeast Asia Union. “It was a miracle,” Elder Giao exclaimed.
Ko Pastors Los Angeles Central Korean
Moon Kyong Ko is now serving as pastor of the Los Angeles Central Korean Church. He came to Southern from New Jersey, where he pastored for nearly six years.
Elder Ko received his degree in theology from Korean Union College and was ordained in Seoul in 1959. He pastored in his native country for 14 years
before being named president of the Southwest Mission in Korea.
After serving as ministerial secretary of the Korean Union for a year, he was elected as president of the Central Korean Conference
Elder Giao tells of how Elder Watts could have left long before he did but he stayed on arranging the evacuation of workers from the Adventist church and hospital in Saigon. “If he hadn’t stayed we wouldn’t be here,” says Elder Giao.
After Elder Giao settled in Glendale, he was frequently called upon to sponsor other Vietnamese when the boat people began to arrive. “They came from all religions, but very few were Seventh-day Adventists,” he explains. “Now about 85 percent of this new church are brand-new converts.”
At one time Elder Giao and his family of six took a Catholic family of nine into their two-bedroom apartment. “We were wall-to-wall people for 40 days.” That family is now baptized into the church.
Elder Giao gladly tells other conversion stories, such as that of Nguyen Duc Tinh. “Brother Tinh, who is now an elder, didn’t believe in God when he lived in Vietnam. In fact, he made fun of God,” says Elder Giao. But an ocean voyage in a small craft changed his mind. His contact with Elder Giao’s company of believers strengthened him; and, according to Elder Giao, “he’s a wonderful church leader.”

Buddhist, told Elder Giao, “If I hadn’t lost everything in Vietnam, if I hadn’t been imprisoned by the Communists, I wouldn’t have found God. I lost material things, but I found salvation.”
Thanh Luu, a deaconess, fled the Communist oppression while her husband, Cuong, who was a Buddhist, was interned in a reeducation camp. When he heard of his wife’s escape, he was happy for her; but he never expected they would be reunited. However, after five years he was released. Later he was able to escape to Malaysia. Six months later he was flown to Los Angeles to his wife and his son born shortly after his imprisonment. Thanh told Cuong of her desire to become a Christian. They studied, were baptized together, and are now charter members of North America’s first organized Vietnamese Seventhday Adventist Church.

Victoria Has Biblically Oriented Party
Repeating a theme carried out at the 1982 Halloween season, Sandi Huddleston, leader of Cradle Roll-Kindergarten Division in Sabbath school, led in a Biblically oriented party for the Loma Linda Victoria Church members and guests last year.
The “Trick or Treat” theme was renamed “Praise.” Vacation Bible School children and their parents were special guests for the bread-and-salad supper and evening of games.

No ghosts or goblins attended this party; but the Queen of Sheba, Moses, Miriam, David, several little angels and other Bible characters were identified following supper. Game time followed, led by Sandi and assisted by Sharon Peterson.
This was a follow-up to a successful Vacation Bible School program conducted in July by Sandi and many faithful helpers. The majority attending the party were non-Seventh-day Adventists.

Grass Valley Grows as Result of Community Outreach
The Grass Valley Church recently completed a study of the entry events and pathways that were most helpful to people joining the church. Pastor Ed Wilson indicated that the survey was based on the last 100 people to be baptized into the church over a time span of about five years.
“The most helpful ‘entry event’ was Sabbath school,” Pastor Wilson states. Of those surveyed, 39 of the 100 people indicated that Sabbath school was their most significant first contact with the church. Worship services, Bible studies, health seminars, and the It Is Written television ministry were also listed as significant, with an average of about 10 people listing each of these as their first contact with the church.

SPECIAL GUEST DAYS IN MARCH—Special guest days for Northern California Conference churches are being planned for the last three Sabbaths in March of 1984. During this period It Is Written will broadcast a three-part series-on “What Are Seventhday Adventists?” The special guest days are to maximize the exposure the church will receive from those telecasts. The Pastor’s Advisory of the Conference felt that providing special services and then following up in April with evangelism series or seminars is an ideal way to turn visitors into members.

from Pleasant Hill Church, Ed Hines, is a friend of mine. We have worked together at the electronics plant in Concord for 20 years. He told me about a church paper you publish that might be able to help me with a problem.”
The phone call placed to the local RECORDER office in Pleasant Hill began a chain of events that has changed Edwin Nelson’s life.
Edwin, a resident of Concord, was 21 years old when his mother told him that he had not seen his real father since he was seven months old. The father he knew was a stepfather and had never adopted him. His mother would not answer any questions about his real father, and it was not until after her death, some 15 years ago, that Edwin began a sporadic search for his real father.
Meanwhile, James Nelson had
HELEN ROBINSON, member of the Roseville Church, set a goal of $100 for Investment in 1983, but she reached that goal long before the year ended. Helen collects cans of every size and turns them into beautiful wall hangings. Helen’s husband, Jim, also collects alumninum cans and turned in over $50 for Investment before the year’s end. Their dedication of time and talents for the Lord is earning dollars for the truth of God’s Word to go to unentered areas of the world.

Who are the main characters? What does this reading tell me of God’s love to me?” She has presented gems on the first two chapters of the book of John.
The main feature follows this Bible study. In November, Naomi Yamashiro related her story of the crises in the life of her eldest son, Duane. “Don’t go ahead of the Spirit when you ask for guidance,” she counseled. “Listen, really listen.” Fourteen scripture promises were counted as she shared her story. Today, with her complete family in the love of Christ, Naomi is an inspiration to all to follow in the counsel of the Spirit and not trust their own insight and instinct.
In December, Greta Jones from Color I Associates suggested that members be observant as to how a color really looks before making it a part of them. Each has the ability to affect a person’s reaction to her by the color she wears.
remarried and had three sons and a daughter. During that time, however, he had not forgotten his firstborn child, Edwin. He had devoted much time in the search for his son, reading and placing advertisements in newspapers— even appearing on a TV show designed to help to reunite lost family members—but to no avail.
It was Edwin, though, who would find his father, in what he had decided would be his final effort.
Edwin knew only two things about his father—that he had been a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and that he was last remembered living in Keene, Texas. This precious information he had obtained from his mother’s brother.
After writing letters and coming up with only frustration, Edwin discussed his problem with his Christian friend Ed Hines. Ed suggested that he place an ad through the RECORDER office in the Southeastern Record, the Church paper that covers the Texas area. That issue came out in September.
Five days later he went home during his lunch hour, something he rarely does. “I wasn’t home five minutes before the phone rang,” he remembered.
It was John D. Nelson, also 65 years old, claiming to be his cousin. John now lives in Fair Oaks, California, only an hour’s drive from Edwin’s home. Formerly members of the Seventhday Adventist church in Keene, Texas, the John Nelsons had continued to subscribe to the Southeastern Record.
“He said he knew as soon as he read the ad,” marveled Edwin.
The cousin wasn’t sure of his uncle’s current address. But a few days later Edwin received a call from Violet Voss of Woodson Terrace, Missouri, who told him, with tears, that she was his sister and that his father, now 91 years old, was in a nursing home in Sikeston, Missouri. He was anxious to meet his long-lost son.
Over the phone, Violet and her brother compared the notations on the backs of the only baby pictures either had of Edwin. The notations were identical.
It was a grand reunion that followed, joining Edwin Nelson with 20 members of his new family, and his father.
No words were spoken, said Edwin; he and his father “just hugged.”
Because of the care Ed Hines showed to a fellow worker, many hearts were made happy; and the Edwin Nelson family has found a caring church in Pleasant Hill.

Cooking Seminar Provides Learning Experiences
More than 35 people learned how to prepare a stuffed vege-turkey at the cooking seminar held by Fresno Westside Church.
Eileen Ruff conducted the cooking demonstrations which yielded several other tasty, nutritious dishes.
Preparation of the vegetarian turkey was also demonstrated by Eileen Ruff at Soquel camp meeting last year. She was assisted by several helpful members.
Everyone who attended the cooking seminar tasted a sample of each dish, and that amounted to a full plate meal with dessert.
Many expressed their evaluation of the food as delicious, and their cleaned-up plates seemed to uphold that assessment.
discipling were conducted by Joe Espinosa of the General Conference and Manuel Vasquez of the Pacific Union.
As a result of the meetings 17 individuals accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour, reports Pastor Avitia.
Topics of the meetings included “The Second Coming,” “The Future of Mankind,” “Healthful Living,” and “How To Be Ready for the Final Events.”
Musical groups that performed included “Advenimiento USA.”

A grant of $300,000 was given to Loma Linda University during October from the United States Public Health Science Division of Medicine to enlarge and strengthen the preventive-medicine residency during the next three years.
The grant will provide stipends and tuition to physicians, and open new residency positions at Loma Linda University.
P. William Dysinger, M.D., director of the residency program, says, “The grant is indicative of the government’s recognition of an acute shortage of physicians in

preventive medicine and of its concern to hold down the costs of medical care.’’
The preventive medicine residency at Loma Linda University was initiated in 1981 and fulfills the requirements of the American Board of Preventive Medicine for specialty training. It is supported by both the School of Medicine and the School of Health.
Residents are accepted into the second year of the residency if they have completed an approved clinical year in a primary care specialty such as family medicine, pediatrics or internal medicine.

The second year includes academic study toward the master of public health degree, and the third year is supervised practical experience in preventive medicine.
“The program at Loma Linda appeals to physicians interested in practicing holistic medicine,’’ says Dr. Dysinger, “by promoting improved lifestyles and treating those physical or spiritual conditions which increase risk of disease.”
The grant has enabled Loma Linda University to expand and open positions in the preventive medicine residency. The program has accepted applications for a third-year resident (one who has already completed the M.P.H. degree), and now is accepting applications for four second-year residents for July 1984.
