Behind the Scenes of Adventist World Radio
“This is the Voice of Hope— Adventist World Radio.”
"The true Christian's joy and consolation must and will be in heaven. The longing souls of those who have tasted of the powers of the world to come and have feasted on heavenly joys, will not be satisfied with things of earth. Such will find enough to do in their leisure moments. Their souls will be drawn out after God. Where the treasure is, there will the heart be, holding sweet communion with the God they love and worship. Their amusement will be in contemplating their treasure—the Holy City, the earth made new, their
«The words come out in lan-uages strange to the American Jar. Sometimes they are in Hungarian, sometimes in Slo-Wensk, in Greek, Serbian, Cre-
ation, Arabic, Russian, Swed-
ish, German, Turkish, Italian, French. . . . But they speak the same message dear to the heart of every Adventist Chris-
tian.
eternal home. And while they dwell upon those things which are lofty, pure and holy, heaven will be brought near, and they will feel the power of the Holy Spirit, and this will tend to wean them more and more from the world and cause their consolation and chief joy to be in the things of heaven, their sweet home. The power of attraction to God and heaven will then be so great that nothing can draw their minds from the great object of securing the soul's salvation and honoring and glorifying God."

Sex Education, Contraception
Carter Favors Family Planning
Democratic Presidential Candidate Jimmy Carter would promote a strong nationwide program of sex education and family planning to eliminate the need for abortions. He made the comment in an exclusive interview with Liberty, a magzine of religious freedom.
Responding to a question on what he would do to modify “abortion-by-demand” that is available in America today, Carter said, “I would do everything I could to minimize the need for abortion, as I did in Georgia. I would favor a nationwide program—established by law and adequately financed —for sex education, for family planning, for access to contraceptives by those who believe in their use, and for better adoptive procedures.”
The interview on Carter’s religious beliefs and how they would influence his conduct as president appears in the September-October issue of Liberty. The former Georgia governor addressed several issues, including federal aid to parochial education, the plight of Christians and Jews in the So-

viet Union, support for the state of Israel, prayer in public schools and Sunday blue laws.
Church-state Separation
“There would be no problem in my presidency in keeping religion and government separate,” Carter said. “I would be a strong defender of the First Amendment and interpret it very strictly.” In referring to prayer and Bible reading in public schools, Carter explained that the First Amendment not only prohibits establishment of religion but “protects the right of every citizen to exercise his faith.” He said the courts must “walk the fine line of balance between these two rights.”
The Democratic candidate approved of some forms of federal aid to private and parochial schools that are already permitted by the Supreme Court, such as textbook aid and school lunch subsidies. But, he added, “Federal money should not go into any sort of religious institution for instruction in religious matters.”
Actions Against U.S.S.R.
Unlike his opponent in the Democratic primaries, Senator Henry Jackson (D-Wash.), Carter would not seek congressional strictures against the Soviet

The rooms are not precisely what one would expect to find in a recording studio. They are improvisations that would challenge the most experienced technician. And sometimes the recordings are made by the people of the country in which the languages to be aired are spoken.
It was my privilege to watch a recording session in Yugoslavia. The car which sped us away from our hotel wound its way through carefully tended fields of corn and grain, and clusters of brick cottages with red-tiled roofs. At length it turned off the blacktop highway onto a dusty road. After
perhaps a mile of jogging along on this I heard the words: “The castle.”
On a distant hill, like golden beryl in a matrix of emerald, stood the rugged towers of a medieval castle, its backdrop the sturdy mountains turned blue in the summer haze.
On a lesser hill, facing the castle, two modern white dormitories and two apartment houses for teachers brought us back to reality and to 1976. The recording would proceed both in the castle and in the chapel of the men’s residence.

Several powerful stations with a potential of reaching many of the 25 million people who live within the Union are included in the Church’s radio ministry.
Among wide - area stations carrying the broadcast are KTAR, Phoenix; KFRE, Fresno; KFAC, Los Angeles; KFI, Los Angeles; KOGO, San Diego; KNBR, San Francisco; KSL, Salt Lake City.
From offers of free booklets made on the broadcast and other avenues, a total of 40,000 new names were added to The Voice of Prophecy mailing list during the first half of this year. Thousands of these were from the Pacific Union.
Enrollment cards for the Bible correspondence school are sent with every free booklet. Church members generously distribute enrollment cards to friends and neighbors and at
As a result, 4,500 people living within the Pacific Union graduated last year from a Bible course offered by The Voice of Prophecy. One out of five of all Voice of Prophecy graduates in this Union joins God’s remnant church.
In 1975, successful evangelistic crusades were conducted in Honolulu, San Francisco, Fresno, San Diego, Garden Grove, Yuba City and Hollywood.
The broadcast ministry will continue to grow throughout the Pacific Union as members demonstrate their concern for proclaiming God’s Word by their generous support of The Voice of Prophecy.

"God didn't promise an easy way, but He promised to be with me."
(Continued from page 7)
In Eastern Europe one of the Adventist World Radio speakers received a letter from a young man who had heard a radio program, taken the Bible course and was now requesting baptism. Consulting his busy schedule, the speaker unfortunately had to write the listener and tell him he would not be able to come for his baptism for some weeks.
When our radio director finally did arrive in the city to baptize the young man, he found to his surprise that 12 people were awaiting baptism. While waiting for the pastor to arrive, this enthusiastic young man had prepared a group of friends for baptism into the Church.
She Would Rather Be at VBS
Vacation Bible School was here—and she would rather miss a vacation trip to Acapulco with her parents than miss VBS in 1976 at the La Sierra Spanish Church.
Cecilia, a young lady from Mexico, had attended Vacation Bible School the previous year at the invitation of Elder Me-rardo Leon’s granddaughters, Alicia and Monica Leon. Stories and songs she had learned there were still fresh in her mind.

"To train the young to become true soldiers of the Lord Jesus Christ is the most noble work ever given to man. Only devout and consecrated men and women, who love children and can see in them souls to be saved for the Master, should be chosen as church school teachers. Teachers who study the word of God as it should be studied will know something of the value of the souls under their care, and from them the children will receive a true Christian education.
"In the closing scenes of this earth's history, many of these children and youth will astonish people by their witness to the truth, which will be borne in simplicity, yet with spirit and power. They have been taught the fear of the Lord, and their hearts have been softened by a careful and prayerful

Returned Student Missionary Tells of Experiences
William Laspe, 20, a member of the Phoenix Camelback Church, returned recently from a year as a student missionary in South Korea. Despite his youth, he held one of the most respected positions there—that of a teacher.
“Confucianism is the dominant philosophy in all Oriental societies,” he explains. “According to that philosophy, a teacher is considered to be wise and honorable. I taught students who were much older and who surpassed me academically, but because I could teach them English they gave me the utmost respect.”
In addition to teaching several English classes daily, he assisted with English language Bible classes and religious services. He also conducted an evangelistic series, speaking 18 times in a two-month period.
Spanish camp meeting the next weekend. Total for the two sessions is $64,215.54, an increase
of almost $9,500 over last year.
Real interest was shown in study and reference books, with
27 sets of Bible Commentary and over 75 sets of Conflict of the Ages being purchased by the members.
Another very popular item was the cassette tapes of the various speakers, especially Elder and Mrs. Holbrook, and Elders Heppenstall and O’Brien. If you did not order these tapes, send for an order blank.
Plans are currently being made for the Fall Book Displays in the various churches, which will be our next big project as we endeavor to make our Church’s material available to you for your soul-winning and spiritual growth.

"Character-building is the most important work ever entrusted to human beings; and never before was its diligent study so important as now.

Company Witnesses through VBS
More than 50 youngsters attended the “Community Bible Class” (Vacation Bible School) held in the little desert community of Mobile this summer.
Sponsored by the Shiloh Seventh-day Adventist Company, it was one of the first out-reaches of the Adventists recently organized in the area. The three Adventist families were joined by leaders from the Beacon Light Church in Phoenix in developing the child evangelism program.
When no building could be found at first, VBS Leader Mabel D. Edwards, unwilling to let Satan cancel the program, declared, “We will hold the school outdoors if necessary.”
But the Lord overruled, and

Business Ingathering Leads to Their Conversion
Before Benson Pastor Lester Patterson and church member Mildred Comstock began a day of business Ingathering last fall, they knelt to ask God for guidance to souls in search of truth.
Their prayer was answered a few moments later as they stopped to make a new contact at an appliance store which had opened for business during the year.
After the two talked to the owners, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Oberg, about Adventists’ worldwide work, Mrs. Oberg asked, “Do you have a copy of ‘that paper’ we study the Bible from?”
At first Elder Patterson thought she was referring to a missionary journal, but as she
instead of one building being made available, two meeting places were donated, making it possible to accommodate more students.
Mrs. Edwards put together an extremely organized, spiritual program including visualized songs, filmstrips, travelogues, object lessons, Bible stories, crafts, nature and health literature and refreshments for all the children.
As a result, 23 boys and girls came who had had no previous contact with Adventists, and 17 for the first time accepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour.

Discovering that the Obergs had once lived in the Adventist community of La Sierra, the Ingatherers invited the family to church and supplied them with a new Quarterly.

VBS Is Helping the Church Grow
Begun as a child evangelism project, the El Mirage Seventhday Adventist Church has continued to grow by emphasizing reaching children for Christ.
When the Glendale Church established a story hour in this small Spanish community on the western edge of the Valley of the Sun, little did they realize that in a matter of months the group would grow to the point of purchasing a church building and be organized into the sisterhood of churches.

ies with the Comstocks, the Obergs were shocked to receive a letter from the former “nonreligious” neighbors, informing them of their upcoming baptism as Seventh-day Adventists.
With the encouragement of their former neighbors, Bible studies, and attendance at an evangelistic series held by Elder Patterson, the Obergs were recently baptized into the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
As with all soul-winning stories, there were many links in the chain of conversion, but a very important link was that Ingathering contact!

Ramona Kane, a junior at the recent Whiteriver Vacation Bible School, said as one of the reasons she liked the Seventhday Adventist Vacation Bible School, “Some day I hope to follow my teacher’s (Sharon Lea Woodruff of Tucson) and all her helper’s footsteps and also have a Vacation Bible School for the Indian children which I can teach in Apache and English.”
This is the second year Adventists from around the state have converged on Whiteriver to hold a mission VBS on the Indian reservation there.

TITHE FIGURES for the month of July show an excellent increase over July, 1975. We thank God and each of you who is in partnership with God through faithful stewardship. Please pray that the Spirit of the Lord will so fill every member in the Southern California Conference that His work may progress more rapidly. The soul-winning work in Southern is limited by lack of funds. Past years have demonstrated that additional money in evangelism will win additional souls. Our goal is to increase the number of people brought into the Church and into God's kingdom of grace each year.

One quilt was given to a lucky mother at a drawing during the closing exercises. A group of juniors took another to a needy family in the area. The third quilt was donated to the Ukiah Adventist Community Center. More than half of the children in attendance were from non-Adventist homes.
the NBC children became the nucleus of the 1976 VBS enrollees. Also, their word-of-mouth advertising produced results. Transportation was provided to bring in more children from other areas of town.
About 25 children participated in a Sabbath field trip to the San Andreas Convalescent Hospital. They cheered patients with songs and stories and Scripture reading. In each patient’s room they left a handcrafted felt wall hanging imprinted with the words: “God Bless America.”

Hikers Give Pack Trip Report
Northern Yosemite National Park, with its unique volcanic and granite peaks — better known as “The Land of Fire and Ice”—was the setting for two High Sierra one-week pack trips in July. Both were sponsored by the Youth Department of the Northern California Conference and led by Pastor Mark Williams of the Rio Lindo Academy Church.
Academic credit was offered in the natural history of the Sierra Nevadas to academy and college students on the first trip. Bill Hughes, M.A., of the graduate school of biology at Loma Linda University, was instructor. Hikers observed God at work in nature and learned to identify numerous plants. They also studied geological processes that took place during and after the Flood.

will serve as chairman of the Religion Department at Southeast Asia Union Adventist Seminary.
Elder Keith Knoche is pastor of the Upper Lake Church and his wife Vikki is an administrative secretary at Lakeport Community Hospital.
Elder Mark Williams and his wife Paula have had an eventful summer: first the ordination, then just six days later they became parents of their first child—nine-pound Joshua. They are preparing to move from Citrus Heights where he has been pastor, to Healdsburg where he will become pastor of the Rio Lindo Adventist Academy Church.
Elder Kenneth Gryte, with his wife Marilyn and daughter Holly, has recently transferred from Trinidad to become pastor of the Cloverdale Church.
The four men had opportunity to express their feelings about the ordination and reasons for their conviction that they are called of God to preach.
As did Paul, those who receive the call must testify: “As far as preaching the good news is concerned, that is nothing for me to boast of, for I cannot help doing it. For I am ruined if I do not preach.” I Cor. 9:16 (Goodspeed).
“God calls for men who realize that they must put forth earnest effort, men who bring thought, zeal, prudence, capability, and the attributes of Christ’s character into their labors.” Gospel Workers, 95.
Helmuth C. Retzer, President Northern Calif. Conf.
Hikers who took the second trip followed the route of the Pacific Crest Trail from Sonora Pass to Tuolumne Meadows. The trail contoured up and down steep glacial ridges and passed numerous alpine lakes and meadows. Persons who completed the trip can be very proud of hiking an average of 12 miles a day over grueling terrain. Oldest hiker who completed this trip was Dick West of Sacramento, age 57.
Seven young people have the distinction of being veterans of three or more Conference High Sierra trips.
In the final days of both trips, the groups experienced torrential rains, strong winds and beautiful displays of sheet lightning.
Watch next spring for Recorder and youth department announcements of next summer’s High Sierra Pack Trips. Both the natural history class and the regular trip will again be offered.

Secular Campus Retreat Will Be Held at Wawona
Central California Conference’s first retreat for students and faculty located on non-Ad-ventist college and university campuses will be held at Camp Wawona, September 24-26.
Planned and conducted by Central’s Secular Campus Ministries Committee, the retreat is designed to acquaint conference leadership with Adventist students and faculty currently located in a secular higher-education institution.
“There is a real need for ministry on the secular campus,” states Ken Veal, associate youth director who is responsible for senior-youth and young-adult ministries.
“Students today set cultural and conceptual trends for tomorrow’s leadership within and without the Church. The secular campus is therefore a growing edge of the Church’s evangelistic ministry.”
Members of the Secular Cam-
CENTRAL'S FRIENDSHIP CAMP at Wawona was a summer high light for 175 Inner City children. Community Services Director William C. Webb says this was "the largest group of children we have ever had at Friendship Camp. Two pastors have reported that already several parents of Friendship Camp children are attending Sabbath services and taking Bible studies." Pictured here are some of the Friendship Campers going through the obstacle course at Camp Wawona.

The Voice of Hope—Adventist World Radio
the small choir took its place next to the organ—a Yamaha given the school by Pastor Stanley Folkenberg not long ago. “Small” in this instance boiled down to six women and one man, plus the organist and diminutive directress. The choir was from Belgrade, and the courageous young man with the beautiful tenor voice was the pastor of one of the three Adventist churches in that city.
AWR listeners will be tuning their dials to some of the loveliest music this side of heaven when the Croatian and Serbian broadcasts are on, for the choir performed all its numbers in both languages. Their soft, light tones literally float on the air.
When the choir broke for rest, Myra Jakobanec took her place before a microphone at a table nearer the recording desk. Blankets were redraped and the engineer signaled for her to begin. Mrs. Jakobanec’s husband is a pastor in Belgrade, and she teaches the children’s Sabbath school. Her radio assignment was telling Bible stories in the Serbian language. She did it as if the children were right there before her—13 stories, one right after the other.
Back in Belgrade Mrs. Jakobanec had left her own three

small ones (the youngest, one year old) with her mother, and she was eager to get home. In order to make the recordings for AWR, she had ridden from five in the morning till five at night. Most of that time had been in a car without a windshield, for the glass had shattered just an hour north of Belgrade, covering the car’s occupants with fragments of glass. Though a few tiny cuts were suffered, miraculously no one’s face or eyes were touched.
Pastoral Messages
Meanwhile back at the castle, high in one of the towers, farthest from the sounds of school life, another technician was recording pastoral messages for broadcasts in Hungarian, Slavic, Croatian and Serbian. The speakers had come by bus or by car with 13 scripts each prepared.
Later the first technician from the men’s residence hall resorted to a higher room in the tower, where he recorded Bible stories in Yugoslavian, Slovenian, and Hungarian. These storytellers were Ljil-jana Babic of Zagreb, Mrs. Da-rinka Jelen, wife of a teacher at the school, and Marija Varga of Horgos, Yugoslavia, a Bible correspondence school secretary.
Recording’s End
The second day of recording drew to a close. The tapes were full. Night had fallen, and we groped our way in the darkness down the steeply curved stone

stairs of the tower. Speakers, singers, storytellers were on their way home. Wisps of clouds over the mountains, earlier tinged with pink, hid in the dusk as campus lights began to blink on. Someone spoke.
“At evening,” the voice said in halting English, “the people who live on the farms on the surrounding hills look here and watch the activities. Sometimes we have worship outside. They call this place their little Bethlehem.”
Then I thought of the star that shone over Bethlehem of old, guiding men to Jesus, and I prayed that Adventist World Radio and the programs recorded in this 1976 Bethlehem night might be such a star, likewise leading men and women of many nations to the Christ whose coming is so near.

Editor’s Note: Pacific Union constituents continue to give major support to AWR, so we print this story as a “stockholder’s report.” Thanks to you!
Recent reports from division offices involved with broadcasts over Adventist World Radio show encouraging over-all results from broadcasts across Europe. The actual figures, covering a three-year period from the beginning of 1973 to the end of 1975, reveal approximately 500 requests per year coming to Bible correspondence schools in nearly 20 languages. This averages out to almost one request per 75 minutes on the air.
Total mail count during the same period amour.ed to just over 15,000 pieces, or about 10 pieces of mail per 75 minutes on the air. Every listener who writes in is sent an AWR program schedule and a Bible course enrollment card.
The Arabic, Swedish, German and British Bible schools cared for the majority of interests shown by listeners and increasing mail counts were reported by other language areas as well.

Carter's Ideas about Religion in Politics
Union in order to improve the lot of Jews and Christians there. Instead, he would use the power of his office to intercede on their behalf through normal diplomatic channels. He said it would be a policy of his administration to “encourage” the U.S.S.R. to permit free emigration of Jews who wish to go to Israel.
Baptists (and other evangelical churches) consider the establishment of the state of Israel as a fulfillment of Bible prophecy. Carter acknowledged that he agrees with the position of his church and he would support the continued existence of Israel unequivocally. He called the establishment of the Jewish state “the finest humanitarian act ever performed by the community of nations.”
Community Rights
While opposing a broad-based Sunday closure, or blue law, the candidate felt a local community has the right, by referendum, to prohibit the sale of al-hocolic beverages on Sunday. “What I have favored is this,” he said of his record as governor: “Employees should have at least one day a week when they don’t have to work.” He did not specify how that should be accomplished.
Finally, Carter said he favors the taxation of affiliated church properties other than church sanctuaries—such as publishing houses and hospitals.

"Affective Teacher" WillThemeColloquy
“The Affective Teacher” is the theme for this fall’s Faculty Colloquy September 15 and 16 that will feature Andrews University education professors Ruth Murdock and Robert Williams.
“With a campus our size, it is important we don’t lose the personal touch and relationship to students so important to a Christian college,” explains Academic Dean Gordon Madgwick in explaining the theme.
“We are partners together in learning on a Christ-centered campus,” he says. The colloquy guests will present lectures on characteristics of the affective teacher, and Christ as an affective teacher, while members will present devotionals and participate in a panel discussion.
Prof. Murdoch’s area is educational psychology while Prof. Williams coordinates the same area in addition to guidance and counseling. A well-known educator, Williams is also an assistant dean of the School of Graduate Studies at AU.
