LANCASTER, MA. 01561 Monday, October 15,1984 I Volume 84, Number 8 I Angwin, California I Official Biweekly of the Pacific Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists FLOATS AND A PARADE led off the day-long schedule of activities for the Loma Linda Filipino Church’s Fiesta ’84, held in September. Representatives from various Asian-Pacific groups participated. The Fiesta was held to commemorate the sixth anniversary of the Filipino Church. Mildred Grandbois on GAMC Wall of Fame Annual Week of Sacrifice Offering Set For November 10 by Larry Becker Twenty-three years ago Mildred Grandbois, then the medical librarian at Glendale Adventist Medical Center, had an idea. “It seemed to me that many of the sciences had indexes to their literature, yet there was none available for nursing,” she says. “Medicine has an index more than 200 years old, but our nursing students had nowhere to turn for information in their field.” Miss Grandbois began pulling together an index on her own, but during meetings with other Los Happiness Isn’t Only For the Young Love blossoms in the springtime in many places and the Napa Valley Retirement Estates, built in Yountville and operated by the Northern California Conference, is no exception. Clarence and Sylvia Gillbank, both 77, have now celebrated their second wedding anniversary. “This is the kind of life we’ve always dreamed of,” says Clarence, “a beautiful yard and no grass to mow, time to travel and not have to worry about someone picking up the newspapers, coming home to a hot meal and not having to fix it, and best of all, the fellowship of so many wonderful Christian friends. ’ ’ Retired Teacher Sylvia Otis, a/Widow and retired elementary teacher with three grown children, had been living in Hayfork before moving into the retirement center in 1981 shortly after it opened. An attractive woman with an enthusiastic smile, Angeles area hospital librarians, she found that several were attempting similar projects. “Ella Crandall at White Memorial had done some work in this area, too,” says Miss Grandbois. “I took what she had done, combined it with some work of my own, and we published the first edition of the index in 1961.” That first edition of the Cumulative Index to Nursing Literature (CINL) covered the output of 17 nursing journals from the year 1956 to 1960. The next edition indexed 35 journals. (Please turn to page 8) Sylvia has spent much time as a freelance writer for “Guide,” “Our Little Friend,” and the “Signs of the Times.” “I hadn’t planned on romance here,” Sylvia says, “but when I knew that Clarence loved Jesus even more than he loved me . . . well, he stole my heart.” Former Realtor Clarence Gillbank moved to the retirement center from Sunnyvale where he had spent many years as a realtor. However, God’s providence came into his life in 1948, when he moved to the Bay Area for a short period of time and learned of the Adventist Message. On December 4 of the same year he was baptized as a charter member of the Walnut Creek CJ^upch, now the Pleasant Hill Church. This year’s January 18 issue of “Guide” features the story r“Never Underestimate a Buyer” written by Clarence. by C. E. Bradford Sacrifice is not an outdated word. It did not go out with high-button shoes, as they used to say. At the heart of the Christian’s relationship to God and fellow human beings is the idea of sacrifice, the giving of the self. We can’t escape it. We may recoil from the mere pronounciation of the word. But the idea is still there—all through the Bible, Old Testament and New Testament. France, Mozambique Will Benefit From Fourth Quarter Offerings Sabbath Schools this quarter are describing challenges to the Adventist Church family in the Euro-Africa Division. Headquartered in Berne, Switzerland, this Division is composed of 25 countries—northernmost is Germany; the most westerly European country is Portugal; and the most southerly, Greece. In between are Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland. Eastern European countries belonging to this Division are Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Albania, Hungary, Romania, and Yugoslavia. African nations assigned to this Division are Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco—along the Mediterranean—and the Portuguese-speaking countries of Angola and Mozambique farther south. Since the dissolution of the Middle East Division, the Israel Clarence and Sylvia Gillbank, residents of the Napa Valley Adventist Retirement Estates, find life together a happy experience. The Gillbanks live in a one-bedroom apartment, an accommodation which is much in de mand at the retirement center. “It’s country club living,” says Clarence An adjoining building, once intended for medical offices, has been remodeled into ten one- (Please turn to page 5) Give of yourselves, your talent, your treasure, your time. Give, sacrifice, until selfishness is squeezed out of soul and spirit. Volumes could be written commending the spirit of self-sacrificing love. It motivates and activates. It is the spring of mission and service. The Annual Week of Sacrifice offering to be received this year on Sabbath, November 10, is another opportunity to let the selfsacrificing love of God flow through us. For all these years this offering has been a blessing to the cause and an even greater blessing to those who have given. Far from Field has also been attached to Euro-Africa. Previous emphasis upon this section of the world focused both attention and funds upon Sagun-to, Spain, where a new girls’ dormitory was erected, and Brussels, Belgium, which benefited with an evangelistic center. Nations receiving attention the last three months of this year are France and Mozambique—representing two of the Division’s more than 25 languages. French Challenges France, which is twice the size of Colorado, has a population 18 times larger. In fact, the population of France is one-fourth that of the entire United States. While the per capita income there about equals that of the US, their rate of inflation averages two percent higher. “Less than 80 percent of the French are said to be nominal Christians, and only two percent are Protestants,” according to James Hardin, Pacific Union director of Sabbath Schools. Re-Creation Unlimited Multimedia Program Ready Two members of the Pacific Union Church family have completed a multimedia featuring survival techniques. Designed especially for teaching parents and their children who may become lost, there are other basic survival principles included. “Our goal was to help the public avoid this potential tragedy, especially while they are vacationing,” says Photographer Terry Fuller. Mrs. Fuller and Co-director Inside this issue: *Norwalk Church Health Outreach (page 2) *Southern California Convocation Plans (page 4) *25 Revelation Seminars in Northern (page 5) being antiquated and outmoded, the Annual Week of Sacrifice offering is relevant and more appropriate today than ever before. “There are even more urgent necessities upon the Israel of God in these last days than were upon ancient Israel. There is a great and important work to be accomplished in a very short time ... He (God) designed that the spirit of sacrifice should widen and deepen for the closing work.” — Testimonies, vol. 3, p. 396. This year’s offering will go toward assisting the operations of overseas divisions. “While one American in 491 persons is a Seventh-day Adventist, one in every 7,000 in France is an Adventist,” Elder Hardin explains. “Out of all that population over there, there are fewer than 8,000 Seventh-day Adventists—about as many asin the Pennsylvania Conference. Seminaries Needed Because of the many different languages in this Division, Elder Hardin says, each country needs its own seminary to train pastors. The one in France, Collonges, has also attracted a number of North American Division students bent on learning French in an exchange program. Collonges is also the college where John Weidner of Pasadena, California, centered his work during World War II.

Health Outreaches Help Norwalk Church Lead Area Residents to Better Lives by Larry Becker Seeking to meet the felt needs of their community, the Norwalk Church has developed a number of outreaches designed to lead city residents into a more healthful lifestyle. Already in operation are a bakery, community health education center, a mobile health/life-style screening program and a day-care service. “Several years ago a group of church members began searching the Scriptures and the Spirit of Prophecy for instruction on how best to reach city residents,” says Dale Leamon, Norwalk’s head pastor. “The more we studied, the more convicted we became that the uniting of a health program with the gospel was the direction we should go. “Meeting Felt Needs” “We concluded we needed to offer people something in which they had a felt need, then let them know that God and we care about them,” continues Elder Leamon. “There’s nothing wrong with traditional evangelism, and we’ve tried very hard to avoid fanaticism in these health programs. But being pragmatic about our situation, we were realizing less and less effectiveness from more traditional means of evangelism.” Norwalk Church Pastor Dale Leamon visits with Karen Steiger, manager of the Our Daily Bread Bakery. A wide selection of health foods and whole grain breads and cookies are available.

A selection of whole-grain breads, cookies with no refined sugar, grains, nuts, dried fruits and restricted diet breads are available, according to Bakery Managers George and Karen Steiger. “Religion in Bread” “We believe in that old saying about there being a lot of religion in a loaf of bread,” says Mrs. Steiger. “There have been many new customers in the past few months. One lady, after using some of our products for a while, came in and reported that her doctor told her that whatever she was doing to keep on doing it; her heath had improved that much.” In August, 1982, the Norwalk Adventist Health Center began operations under the direction of Drs. Clifford and Aileen Ludington. The Center seeks to draw medical and spiritual health together and, according to Dr. Shirley Masaoka, medical director of the Health Center, the staff strives to show patients “that the Lord accepts us as we are, and He can help us escape from the trap of poor health habits.

Also offered periodically are programs on stress control, weight control, five-day plans and programs on how diet affects diabetes and cancer. Physicians are available for private consultation. Laboratory testing, physical therapy and hydrotherapy round out available services. Van Ministry An adjunct to the Health Care Center is Norwalk’s mobile van health screening program. Weekly church volunteers offer free blood pressure and health screenings at shopping centers and community events. “We’ve found that we cannot keep up with the demand for our other services generated by our van ministry,” says Elder Leamon. “Not only does the van work feed interests into our health classes, but we get many requests for Bible study as well! We’re now in the process of training more lay Bible workers so we can operate the van more often.” Day Care Center The newest addition to Norwalk’s community outreach program is the Bit O’ Heaven Day Care Center, opened in September, 1982. According to Janet Rich, director of the center, the church is providing day care with a Christian perspective for 2-5-year-old children 12 hours daily. Along with the playtime, hot lunches and rest periods typical of many day care programs, Norwalk’s staff offers a daily worship and specialized enrichment classes, spending each month on a different topic. “We studied about food and Janet Rich, director of the Bit O’ Heaven Day Care Center, checks on her preschoolers during afternoon nap time. nutrition during May, for example,” reports Mrs. Rich. How has this wide range of outreaches affected the Norwalk Church? “I see three areas of real benefit coming from these programs,” reports Elder Leamon. Involvement Growing “First, the number of church members becoming actively involved has grown tremendously. In the past all we could offer people was the opportunity to distribute handbills or give Bible studies. Now there are about 25 full-time and more than 100 part-time volunteers among the various ministries. “Secondly, there is an indirect effect on our church growth,” continues Elder Leamon. “When a church is excited about its ministry, it becomes a more attractive church. We’ve had many ‘backslidden and nominal’ Adventists become interested in reestablishing and strengthening their church connections because they are excited by what they see and hear during their visits. “Finally, there is the direct impact on the growth of church membership,” concludes Elder Leamon. “My pastor’s Sabbath morning Bible class always has about 20 attending regularly, and in the past six months I’ve seen a number of those interests maturing. “One man started coming to our bakery bacause of his interest in vegetarianism. Soon the staff sensed a spiritual interest on his part. He told me recently that ‘Adventists have what I’ve been searching for all my life.’ “Another couple started attending lectures at the Health Center at the invitation of one of our professional members. These folk were atheists and they recently told me, ‘When we saw you folks had it together in health and nutrition, we had to find out what you had in spiritual things, too.’” City Appreciates Church Elder Leamon feels Norwalk residents increasingly appreciate the church’s programs. “The mayor of Norwalk believes our work is one of the best things happening in the city. He has even asked for an invitation to our next stop-smoking clinic. Personal Notes *Arlys Walter has been named as Bible School Coordinator at the Voice of Prophecy. She previously served at the VOP as a telephone counselor from 1976-79.

The three events included: a 2-K (1.25 miles) swimming race; a 40-K (24.8 miles) bicycle race, and a 15-K (9.3 miles) run. Pastor Mellor received the third place award in his age group (30-39). Pastor Mellor has completed 16 marathons, and has competed in Elder Leamon and Dr. Shirley Masaoka, medical director of Norwalk’s Health Center, discuss plans for further community health outreaches. Also, many places at which the van has operated are extending open invitations to return at any time. “I’d guess that back when the bakery opened barely 10 percent of Norwalk’s population knew Adventists. Now I’d say more than half are familiar with our work.” Counsel Seemed Clear “A number of Mrs. White’s statements on this subject have become very valuable to us as we have sought to establish these ministries,” says Elder Leamon. “In Gospel Workers she writes, ‘Christ’s method alone will give true success in reaching the people .... There is need of coming close to the people by personal effort.’ (GW 363). “Combine this statement with many she makes similar to the one in Testimonies which says ‘Centers of influence may be established in many places by the opening up of health food stores, hygienic restaurants and treatment rooms.’ (7T 234), and our direction seems clear.” Early Doubts “To be honest, I had some doubts at the beginning,” reports Elder Leamon. “I needed to be convinced. But as we’ve progressed in our programs, I believe we are discovering that Mrs. White’s counsels on city medical evangelism are possibly even more valid today than when they were written. “I think that as our Church seeks to expand these ministries into other areas, we’ll have more confidence in the future after seeing how the Holy Spirit has led us in the past.” the 50-mile American River Race from Sacramento to Auburn. *Wintley Phipps was featured soloist following the Jesse Jackson speech at San Francisco’s Democratic National Convention as carried on ABC-TV.

Kay, 15 years old, serves as Sabbath School secretary. Only three years ago, Mrs. Tang and her two older children escaped by boat in Southeast Asia. Kay and her father arrived safely by plane in April, 1983, after Mrs. Tang made arrangements for them. Influenced by a cousin, Howard and Yvonne gave their hearts to God and were baptized in Vietnam. Mr. Tang was influenced by his children’s experience, and was baptized into the Adventist Church the day his wife and two older children escaped. Mrs. Tang decided to follow Jesus completely while on the escape boat where she felt the guidance and care of God. She was baptized in Honolulu by Nathaniel Yen, who studied the Bible with her.

Southern California Conference President Ralph Watts was featured speaker for the first Vietnamese Convocation held in this country. Shown above is a young Vietnamese Adventist from Paris, France, presenting special music during the worship service. Vietnamese Adventists Convene and Remember Defiverance Vietnamese Seventh-day Adventists from as far away as France and Canada, as well as all over the United States, assembled in Loma Linda University’s Burden Hall August 3 to remember their evacuation from their homeland nine years ago and to thank God for it. Le Cong Giao, last president of the denomination’s Vietnam Mission, and now pastor of the largest Vietnamese-language Adventist congregation in America, said that several hundred participants in the first-ever Vietnamese convocation in this country slept over Friday night in Gentry gymnasium. It was there, he noted, that they were housed after arriving in the United States from their native country after the fall of Saigon to the Communists in April, 1975. Some persons, he remarked, sought out the exact spot where they first slept in America. “We should not forget this experience,” Elder Giao said, adding that the adults wanted their children to recall the experience which may have become a dim memory as they absorbed American ways. “Many of us would not Bob Scott New President of Medical Center With goals for keeping the hospital an innovative leader in health care, Bob Scott began administration of Glendale Adventist Medical Center on September 10. Mr. Scott replaces LaVerne W. Roth, who retired in June after 11 years as president. “Glendale Adventist Medical Center must continue to be innovative in its approach to health care,” says Mr. Scott. “We’ll probably see 1,000 hospitals go out of business in the next decade as new challenges arise. I think the greatest test will be to develop new ways for hospitals to work with physicians, founding new areas of cooperation.” Mr. Scott, who has been a health care administrator since 1962, will direct the Medical Center’s $100 million annual operation and oversee the welfare of the hospital’s 2,300 employees. “We’re in the people business, not the hospital business. If we look out for the needs of people, be alive today if we had not gotten out in time,” said Elder Giao, who himself took the next-to-last evacuation flight out of Saigon. Not all of the participants, however, remembered the 1975 evacuation from the same perspective. A number of them remained in Vietnam and later became part of the exodus from Southeast Asia by boat. Featured speaker for the convocation was Ralph S. Watts, Jr., president of the Southern California Conference. Elder Watts was president of the Southeast Asia Union Mission in 1975, and personally arranged and supervised the evacuation of 400 Adventist church members and hospital workers from Saigon in the last days of the Vietnam War. He also visited Kampuchea (formerly known as Cambodia) after the fall of the Pol Pot regime to offer the Church’s humanitarian relief to the people of that country. The last time many of the persons who attended the camp meeting saw Elder Watts was in Gentry Gym after he had overseen the final phase of their rescue from Southeast Asia. both patients and employees, the by-product will be a well-run hospital,” says Mr. Scott. Since 1979, Mr. Scott has served as executive vice president for Adventist Health System-Sunbelt, where he oversaw the administration of six hospitals in Georgia and Florida. Prior to 1979, Mr. Scott was senior vice president (1970-73) and president (1973-79) of Florida Hospital, a 920-bed medical complex in Central Florida. Mr. Scott graduated from Loma Linda University, La Sierra Campus in 1962 with a B.S. degree in business administration. He received his master’s degree in hospital administration in 1970 from Trinity University. Mr. Scott’s hobbies include flying, fishing, restoring old aircraft, as well as metal and wood working. He is married to the former Betty Hamren and has four sons, William, Barry, Robert and Benge. 4 PACIFIC UNION RECORDER /OCTOBER 15,1984 Twenty-five Revelation Seminars Being Conducted in Conference “It is the public’s response that makes it such an attractive method of evangelism,” says Richard Schwartz, Ministerial Director for the Northern California Conference, speaking of the Revelation Seminars. There are 25 Revelation Seminars being held in the Conference through the beginning of November. “The majority of these,” Schwartz comments, “are being led by laymen.” In Yreka, where layman Dennis Spiva is conducting the seminar, 85 non-Adventists attended the first session on Monday, September 10. According to Jeff Beasley, pastor of the Yreka congregation, Sacramento Southgate To Celebrate lOtti Anniversary On October 24, 1974, the Sacramento Southgate Seventh-day Adventist Church was dedicated.

Nursing Index Founder Honored by GAMC ■ (Continued from page 1) “Nursing literature really began to grow when we began the index,” says Miss Grandbois. “I think we might have had something to do with that, because the index makes the literature much more valuable.” Today the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature includes more than 200 nursing journals, and each annual volume holds more than 900 pages. Also, bimonthly updates are issued, keeping the index as current as possible. Long-time GAMC employee Mildred Grandbois was honored with placement on the Hospital’s Wall of Fame earlier this year. She’s shown here during the ceremony with her sister and brother-in-law, Dr. and Mrs. A. O. Stewart, and her nephew, Donald Stewart. More than 5,000 people and organizations in 40 countries subscribe to the CINAHL including the Surgeon General of the United States, Harvard University and the World Health Organization in Geneva and Cairo. GAMC still is copyright owner and publisher. Miss Grandbois served as editor of the CINAHL from 1961 to 1977. Since then, she has been a consultant in the areas of public relations, circulation and strategic planning. Before going to GAMC, Miss Grandbois was for 16 years a LINCOLN—Lifeglow, a large-print magazine for adults with a visual impairment, is being released by Christian Record Braille Foundation beginning in December, according to Richard Kaiser, editor of publications. Issued quarterly, Kaiser says the purpose of Lifeglow is to “brighten, inspire and entertain,” and will contain feature articles and stories, a “pen friends” column and a health-watch corner, all written on an adult level. The cost is free to anyone with a sight impairment. “This is a need which has existed for years, but one that we Euro-African Division Focus of Fourth Quarter’s Offerings ■ (Continued from page 1) of 15, and a mere four percent live beyond the age of 60. “That compares with 24 and 15 percent for school teacher on the elementary, secondary and college levels in Michigan, Washington and California. She left teaching to serve as a secretary in the Spanish Department of The Voice of Prophecy (now La Voz de la Esperanza). “I was supposed to be there only a year,” says Miss Grandbois, “but I was having too much fun, so I stayed eight.” Miss Grandbois became GAMC’s first professional librarian in 1956. Earlier this year GAMC honored Miss Grandbois by placing her name on the hospital’s “Wall of Honor.” Dedicated a year ago, the wall honors those individuals who have made exceptional commitment of their services and influence on behalf of Glendale Adventist Medical Center. “It was hard to believe when I saw my picture on the wall supporting those six important men,” she laughs. “But I do appreciate what the hospital did, and I do feel honored and proud to be included. “I also hope that the accomplishments of more Adventist women may be recognized in this way in the future. I’m just one of many women who have served the Church and wanted to see it succeed.” simply did not have the budget to inaugurate,” Kaiser explains. “Now, we feel the time has come to move forward with this much-needed project.” Lifeglow joins a number of other magazines Christian Record produces for the blind on a regular basis, including five in braille, three on flexible disc records and one other large-print journal, Young and Alive, aimed at teenagers.

Near the provincial capital at Beira is the “Theological Seminary—School for Future Ministers and Bible Workers in Mozambique,” according to the signpost along the roadway. One area of training is in a healthful lifestyle. “We need to train young people in public health so they can teach their people,” says the lady who is Mozambique’s director of the Ministry of Health. We don’t just want handouts,” she said. “We can use specific help to start us on the road to self-sufficiency.” And that’s what Adventists are trying to do there. But each of the nations in EuroAfrica needs the family’s prayers this quarter. “As you learn what’s going on in the world family week by week,” Elder Hardin says, “remember how they appreciate also the love we share through our gifts. “Sabbath school is not just a service to generate funds,” Elder Hardin emphasizes, “It’s an opportunity to keep up with goings-on in the Church family world wide. Of the weekly financial gifts, 16 cents goes to the special projects of the focused field. “Thirteenth Sabbath” offerings for the Special Projects are budgeted so that 25 percent will build a classroom building, living quarters for the students, and apartments for teachers at Beira, Mozambique; and a classroom-auditorium-teachers’ offices building for the seminary at Collonges, France.
