Conference President Charles
Cook officiated at the baptism
of nine persons who joined the
San Francisco Filipino Church
June 19.
Six of the candidates were
fruits of the It Is Written Rev-
elation Seminar held in San
I'rancisco. The other three were
from the pastor's Bible class.
Aurora Artates was contacted
by a literature evangelist who
sold her a set of The Bible
Story. Her name was referred
to the pastor who arranged for
family Bible studies, leading to
the baptism of Aurora's teen-
age children. Aurora waited to
be baptized with her husband,
a mechanic for TWA.
After two years of church
attendance and participation in
the pastor's Bible class Aurora
decided to be baptized without
her husband. Now he says, “I
am the only one who is not bap-
tized in the family. I hope that
I can get my Sabbaths off soon
so I can be baptized and join
my family.”
Edgardo Herrera and his wife
Elisa were active leaders in the
Methodist Church in Manila,
Philippines, where they were
well known in musical circles.
Coming to this country, the
couple was attracted to It Is
Written, signing up for the Bi-
ble course. Church members
visited Edgardo and Elisa, in-
viting them to services.
After sitting in the pastor's
Jible class for over a year and
finishing two sets of Bible les-
sons, they decided to join the
Church.
Alex Jayvme's first contact
with the Adventist message
was in the Philippines where
he worked with Adventists. Af-
ter he came to America, the
influence and concern of his
Adventist employer sparked
Alex's interest in Bible study.
Alex soon accepted an invi-
tation to attend the It Is Writ-
ten Revelation Seminar held in
Concord. After the seminar he
and his wife Alice attended the
Bible class at the Filipino
church, which led to their de-
cision to be baptized.
A BAPTISM HELD July 17 for 17 persons was the culmination

With a friend. Barbara Pol-
zin visited different Adventist
churches, the Soquel camp-
oround and Pacific Union Col-
lege. She became aware of the
lifestyle of Seventh-day  Ad-
ventists.
She invited her husband, Lee,
and their daughter, Martha, to
attend the It Is Written Reve-
lation Seminar. The Polzins
commuted from Oakland across
the Bay Bridge to Pacifica for
20 weeks to finish the series.
There was another sacrifice,
too. Barbara had to quit her
job so she could keep the Sab-
bath.
Romavne Molaug, of Norwe-
ian stock, was a very conscl-
centious Lutheran. Her regular
viewing of It Is Written gave
her deep insights on the Sab-
Nine Join Filipino Church through Baptism
bath question. She decided to
keep the Sabbath in addition
to Sunday.
Romayne's attendance at the
It Is Written Revelation Sem-
inar in San Francisco led her
to continue Bible studies con-
ducted by the pastor of the
Filipino Church, never missing
a class in the 20-week series.
When the pastor announced
that a baptism would be con-
ducted after the studies, Ro-
mayne was the first one to de-
cide for the Lord. Now she Is
very happy in her newly-found
faith and has begun sharing it
with her husband and friends.
God is still working miracles
in the lives of people.

Seminar Follow-up Brings Them to Decision
Among the early arrivals at
San Francisco's It Is Written
Revelation Seminar In January
were Ariane Wenzel and Sally
Gamero.
Ariane and Sally had worked
tocether at the Bank of Amer-
ica some four years before.
There they had become ac-
quainted with co-worker Versi
Williams, a Seventh-day Ad-
ventist whose consistent Chris-
tian witness favorably 1im-
pressed the two young women.
Then Versi left the bank to
of efforts in both San Francisco and San Jose by the San Francisco
Samoan Church. Ranging in age 11-70, the new Adventists come
from such diverse faiths as Bahai, Catholic, Congregational, Mor-
mon, and Pentecostal. The final night of the Samoan Church's
crusade theld in the San Francisco Tabernacle church saw a large
crowd of visitors and members witness the presentation of Bibles,
books, and dip
lesson Bible course. Pastor S.

become the Bible instructor at
the Market Street church in
Oakland. Ariane took a trip
“down under’ to Australia. Sal-
ly continued at the bank. Con-
tact among the friends was lost,
not to be renewed until Janu-
ary 25. Ariane, back from her
long trip. and Sally both ar-
rived early-—and were surprised
to see one another. Their old
friendship was quickly renewed.
The seminar continued with
meetings conducted at the San
Francisco Central church. Ari-
ane and Sally were among the
30 interests who attended reg-
ularly.
The Spirit of God was al-
ready working with Ariane.
Soon she was baptized. To Ari-
ane's joy. her old friend from
the bank, Versi Williams, came
from Oakland to wish her hap-
piness in her new-found faith.
Sally began to attend the
Sabbath services and the pas-
tor's Bible class. When Sally
was baptized in April, Versi
again came to witness the hap-
pv occasion for old friends.
But even months before the
San Francisco seminar, legal
sceretary Marlene Pierce had
called to ask questions about
the Seventh-day Adventist
Church. She had been watching
It Is Written and wanted to
know more.
Invited to church, Marlene
came, slipping into a pew next

Russell Heigh at SAWS ware-
house site
SAWS Builds New Depot
In Watsonville, on Riverside
at Harvest Drive, next to the
city maintenance yard, stands
a huge old fig tree. Its roots are
deep In history. This tree will
be the landmark for the new
West Coast depot of Seventh-
day Adventist World Services.
Ground was broken June 7 for
the 15,000 square-foot facility.
According to SAWS Manager
Russell Heigh, the warehouse
will house and process used
clothing and medical equipment
for overseas shipment.
SAWS West Coast Depot had
an active part in supplying
tents, clothing, and other sup-
plies following the Guam ty-
phoon. Earlier this year SAWS
provided aid to victims of Gua-
temala’s earthquake. At time
of disaster, SAWS works closely
with the Red Cross.
The western warehouse is
presently located at Monterey
Bay Academy. The move is be-
ing made because SAWS needs
more warehouse space and the
school needs the additional
room for its own activities. The
fig-tree site was chosen after a
year-long search. Plans call for
occupancy by early September.
to Lucy Agee, an Adventist who
had just recently moved to San
Francisco from New York City.
At the time, Lucy had no spe-
cial friends, so Marlene, the It
Is Written interest, became her
friend that Sabbath.
Throughout last year, they
were much comfort to one an-
other. When Marlene was bap-
tized, l.ucy rejoiced with her
to sce how God was leading in
their lives.
Meanwhile, another It Is
Written viewer had written to
Elder Vandeman with questions
about the Church. In time the
letter came to me and I invited
the writer, Nurse Isabel Prado,
to attend the San Francisco
Seminar.
She couldn't come-—she was
on duty--but she readily joined
the pastor's Bible class. From
the start she never missed a
Sabbath. Two weeks into the
series, Isabel requested bap-
tism. Following more Bible
studies in her home, Isabel
joined the Church.
The It Is Written Revelation
Seminar continues in San Fran-
cisco even though the original
20 lessons have long since been
completed. Six of the group
have been baptized. God will
bring many others. Of this we
are confident.
