Yellow buttons flashing ‘‘Help-
ing Others Find Christ’’ appeared
this year at Redwood Camp Meet-
ing. “‘It all started,” says Dr.
Caleb Davidian, a retired dentist
from Placerville, ‘‘when the Con-
ference Evangelism Committee
heard that funds for evangelism
were limited.
“If the concept of the ‘Com-
mittee of 500’ for Voice of Proph-
ecy and Pacific Union College’s
‘Committee of 100’ could work so
well for these projects—why not
for evangelism?”’
Last year $25,000 was collected
for evangelism in one week at
Redwood Camp Meeting. With
lots of enthusiasm, a large ther-
mometer graph, and a box of
yellow buttons, Dr. Davidian
again began the campaign for
funds for evangelism this year.
The story was told at one of the
evening meetings of a little boy
who turned in all he had—sixty-
nine cents—for evangelism. Some-
one was moved by the Holy Spirit
to make up the difference—$103.31
—amounting to two dollars a
week for the year.
To the surprise of even the most
$40,000 Raised for Evangelism at Redwood Camp Meeting
optimistic, the field evangelism
offering went over the $40,000
mark in cash and pledges this
year. These funds will be utilized
in local Revelation Seminars
scheduled throughout the Con-
ference.

so well that some commendation
was in order.

Redlands Spanish Church Relocating
Inn recent years the San Bernar-
dino Mountain View Church has
joined with the Highland Church,
taking the new name Arden Hills
Church. Elder Ron Watson is
serving as senior pastor.
Since this merger a sincere ef-
fort has been put forth to sell the
Mountain View property.
Seeing the need of a Spanish-
speaking Adventist Church in this
highly Latino neighborhood, the
Redlands Spanish Church has
voted to sell its church, purchase
the Mountain View church and
move its congregation to this
wider mission field.
First services in the new loca-
tion took place on August 4. Elder
Eliseo Hernandez is pastor of this
Spanish congregation, located at
918 N. Mountain View Avenue.
