G. ERIC JONES LIBRARY MAR 2 8 1984 Monday, March 5, 1984 / Volume 83, Number 18 / Angwin, California I Official Biweekly of the Pacific Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists “Pastor Ole” ran the 10K (6.2 miles) Hidden Valley Run out of Newbury Park in mid-February pushing Alberto Hernandez—and still finished in one hour, eight minutes! Pacing the Pastor was his daughter Heather Ann shown here behind the group, and Alberto’s father, Henry, rode along beside just in case Alberto got tired. (Photo by Larry Becker) A Caring Pastor A Time for Caring TV Miniseries Will Invite the Guests; Personal Ministry Needed for Follow-up Olesen Initiates Exercise With Wheelchair Patients Readers of the Thousand Oaks News-Chronicle recently noticed a most unusual classified advertisement. It read: Ole’s Holy Rollers Share Fitness, Push Wheelchairs Join the Joy! Call . . . Ole Olesen, associate pastor of the Thousand Oaks Adventist Church, placed that ad to attract volunteer participants in a new project he has started to “share the joy of exercise with people in wheelchairs. “We take qualified patients from Ventura Estates out for brisk trips around the grounds,” says Pastor Olesen. “I started out seven months ago regularly taking out three ladies. Now, I’d say, we have a half dozen volunteers, and Ventura Estates has determined about 18 of their patients are physically eligible to participate.” What got an already busy pastor interested in adding a time-consuming project like this to his crowded schedule? “I’ve always been a semidistance runner, “says Pastor Olesen, “but I soon found using all that time just for running quite distasteful. I felt I had more important things to do, yet I knew I needed the exercise. “For three years the idea of pushing wheelchair patients while by Larry Becker I jogged would occasionally come to mind, but I never acted on it. Then one day a statement from Thoughts from the Mount of Blessing struck me. Mrs. White is talking about how every in- Regularly enjoying one of “Pastor Ole’s” runs is Clara Covert, a Ventura Estates resident. It’s great exercise, she says. If viewers accept the invitation, Seventh-day Adventist churches across the Pacific Union could be swarming with visitors on the last three Sabbaths of March. Continuing their miniseries thrust, It Is Written begins a three-part programming to tell the “Truth about Seventh-day Adventists.” To be aired March 11, 18 and 25 in most markets, the first telecast and others will close with an invitation to attend an Adventist church in the viewing area. Planned by George Vandeman and written by Marjorie Lewis Lloyd, It Is Written’s regular script writer, the series will emphasize central doctrines and practices of Adventists, including a reference to health and lifestyle. Its central focus, however, is upon Jesus and the development of a relationship with Him. Enough of world work will be shown to be impressive; and 20 lay people, scholars and professionals dividual is Heaven’s appointed channel and angels are waiting to communicate through you. She goes on to say, ‘Shall the human agent fail of accomplishing his appointed work? Oh, then to what degree is the world robbed of the promised influence of the Holy Spirit!’ (p. 40) I soon came to the conclusion that God wants people in wheelchairs to enjoy the sensations of exercise. “I discussed my plan with Howard Welklin, head pastor at Thousand Oaks, and then ap- (Continued on page 2) Stamp/Coin Sales To Benefit VOP Stamp and coin sales are scheduled by the Voice of Prophecy in five locations in Central and Northern California the week of March 18. Proceeds will benefit the radio broadcast and Bible School ministry. Roland Rhynus, supervisor of the VOP’s Stamp and Coin Project, will have available a wide variety of philatelic and numismatic items. He will also answer questions people may have about collecting. “I want to assist collectors in the pursuit of their hobby,” he says. “I also hope to meet some of the volunteers and faithful stamp collecting friends of the VOP who from California to New York will testify to their faith in Adventist Christianity. Only the toll-free 800 number will be shown on the screen for viewers to learn the addresses of area Adventist churches. No local call numbers will be used during this three-week series. Northern California, Nevada-Utah, and the Oregon conferences banded together in the printing of special invitations to It Is Written and other interests, advertising the series. Moreover, many pastors in the viewing areas will stress salvation in Christ, His second coming, and the “rest” of grace in those three Sabbath sermons. In all, nearly 250,000 invitations were mailed. The first nationwide presentation of Adventist faith and prac- Important Work “If there is one work more important than another, it is that of getting our publications before the public, thus leading them to search the Scriptures.

Thus, ads in TV Guide and local newspapers can all be similar. Such a thrust has become possible, too, because of this unified program release divisionwide. Relating to Them But what happens when the guests arrive? Is the “caring” emphasis more than just a slogan with your church family? Will your guests feel a warm welcome, or will they only hear welcoming words? Some congregations are planning fellowship luncheons to follow each of these visitation Sabbaths. Others are arranging for smaller groups to share fellowship in individual homes. Follow-up ministry by the local congregation is necessary to such projects. Church guests will still relate to one-to-one experiences more than to a man with words on television. Those who attend may be seeking answers such as the telecast gift booklet suggests in The Cry of a Lonely Planet. “Is (Continued on page 8) other church entities in North America who gave $554,000 to the United Way in 1983.

Also, since the volunteer jogger takes out the same patients each week, there is a friendship developed over the course of time,” says Pastor Olesen. “Second, being pushed around the grounds like this is good for their bodies. The gentle jostling they receive during the run helps tone up their muscles. “As for myself,” he adds, “I’ve found that I’m getting all the exercise I can take!” Originally, Pastor Olesen actually jogged while pushing the wheelchairs but has now adopted more of a race walking motion. 1 ...........

Among those who will be present are staff members of Listen magazine, representatives from Narcotics Education, Inc., and Paul and Carol Cannon, co-directors of The Bridge Fellowship, a live-in counseling center in Kentucky for troubled Seventh-day Adventist college-age young people. “It is our hope,” Elder Soper says, “that this meeting will nurture the formation of more Adventist parent-support groups across the North American Division, so that we can begin to deal effectively with alcohol and drug abuse among our young people.” “We found that it makes for both a smoother ride and a safer one when the pusher has one foot on the ground at all times.” Pastor Olesen sees potential for this type of project far beyond the nursing home setting. “Throughout the Pacific Union I’m sure there are people confined to wheelchairs in private homes. They would love to have an exercise partner like this. “Someday I’d also like, with the cooperation of the Ventura Estates administration and the patient’s family, to form a team of volunteers and take one of our patients out on the Hidden Valley Marathon 10K run,” says Pastor Olesen. “I really think that the sights of the race and the sensation of being in the middle of all that excitement would absolutely delight one of our patients.” "Through the merits of Jesus Christ, finite man is elevated to fellowship with God and with His dear Son."—SL, 77.

PACIFIC UNION RECORDER I MARCH 5,1984 3 Literature Sales, a Ministry for I God Impressed Pioneers To Print 7933 Literature Ev by Earl J. Labry, Publishing Director, Pacific Union Conference Earl J. Labry Before our infant Church was organized or even given a name, God impressed our pioneers with the importance of beginning to print. Ellen White had the first impression of its value during a meeting in Dorchester, Massachusetts, in November 1848. “You must bring to print a little paper and send it out to the people,” she told James. “Let it be small at first; but as the people read, they will send you means with which to print, and it will be a success from the first. “From this small beginning it was shown to me to be like streams of light that went clear round the world.” Life Sketches, p. 125. Why was this means of communication so important? “The press is a powerful instrumentality which God has ordained to be combined with the energies of the living preacher to bring the truth before all nations, kindreds, tongues, and peoples. Many minds can be reached in no other way.” Life Sketches, p. 217. “The publishing branch of our cause has much to do with our power. I do desire that it shall accomplish all that the Lord designs it should. If our bookmen do their part faithfully, I know, from the light God has given me, that the knowledge of present truth will be doubled and trebled.” Life Sketches, pp. 446, 447. The prediction that the publishing work would become like streams of light that would go clear around the world has been gloriously fulfilled. Today there are 50 publishing houses around the globe supplying literature for distribution through our Adventist Book Centers and literature evangelists. During 1983 approximately In its third load to the Home Health Education Westlake Village Warehouse this year, Pacific Press delivered in late February 24.9 tons of materials—all books except about 450 pounds of cardboard stock for shipping. Wholesale value of the books to be sold by literature evangelists throughout Pacific Union territory exceeded $15,000 in this shipment. 24,000 individuals were involved in literature evangelism throughout the world—300 of that number in Pacific Union territory. These consecrated men and women who come from all walks of life are dedicated to the purpose of selling Seventh-day Adventist literature. Participating in this special ministry affords them the privilege of not only spreading God’s message through the printed page but also of gaining a livelihood. One of the key ingredients to the success of Pacific Union literature evangelists is the selling of the Spirit of Prophecy books, with the 10-volume set of Arthur Maxwell’s Bible Stories, and our medical set entitled You and Your Health. While different combinations of books are being sold, the most popular unit is entitled “The Economy Library.” It consists of the 10 volumes of The Bible Story and six volumes of the Bible Reference Library—Patriarchs and Prophets, Prophets and Kings, The Desire of Ages, Acts of the Apostles, The Triumph of God's Love (The Great Controversy) and Bible Readings for the Home. This 16-volume unit at the present time retails for $379.50. Some have asked, “Why clothe our books in such beautiful and expensive garb, and why such fine quality print, paper and art work? Shouldn’t the emphasis be more on quantity, the inexpensive newsprint give-away type of literature? Why sell a dressed-up Chevrolet when a stripped-down Pinto might do the job?” Both, of course, are essential. Some must be produced economically by the millions to be scattered like the leaves of autumn. However, customers are more inclined to value and not discard a quality publication for which they invested their hard-earned money. As one customer indignantly told her minister when he demanded that she burn that Ad-venitst book: “Not on your life. I paid good dollars for that book.” A give-away edition might have been quickly consigned to the garbage can or to the fireplace. But books for which families invest a sizable amount are treasured permanently on their library shelves. These are the books accumulated in millions of homes that at the time of test will be sought for and read and will be the means of helping “convert more than 1,000 in a single day.” What makes the printed page so effective? Why did it have priority at the beginning, and why is it to have priority at the close of God’s message? The reasons are clear; it is the most permanent witness for the truth. Although silent, it persists in saying the same thing over and over again. The reader may lay it “One Place To Shine” “When church members realize the importance of the circulation of our literature, they will devote more time to this work. Papers, tracts, and books will be placed in the homes of the people to preach the gospel in their several lines. The Church must give her attention to the canvassing work. This is one work in which she is to shine in the world. Then will she go forth fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners.” Manuscript 113, 1901. aside in disgust; but when he picks it up agian, the message has not changed. It gives the trumpet a certain sound and keeps on sounding it until the close of probation. And the one who finds the truth through books usually feels that he has discovered it himself, that it is his idea. The publishing work was the alpha of the Advent message, the vanguard of the truth on every continent and in every land. It is destined by sure prophetic decree to play a major role in the omega of the message. As the front line advances, the entire army advances. When the publishing work moves forward, the Church moves forward. Where the publishing work is strong, God’s Church is strong. She dare not neglect that which provides her most effective power. If you find yourself interested in becoming more involved in direct soul winning, perhaps the literature ministry is where the Lord would have you function. Jesus is doing today what He did nearly 2,000 years ago: He is taking men and women of many different professions and occupations and making them successful workers for Himself—in the literature ministry. Today our conferences employ capable publishing leaders who can train you to be successful in this work. Feel free to contact any of our local conference publishing department directors.

In the Church Where Literature Is Emphasized There Is Progress by Andy Running, ABC Coordinater In the political, social, and religious worlds printing and reading are the keys to growth. Especially in religions, the expansion or shrinkage of the movement depends upon the attitude toward publishing. In the Church where literature is de-emphasized there is deterioration. Where literature is emphasized there is progress. The mission of the Adventist Book Centers in the Pacific Union is to encourage the Church members and friends of the Church to read and use denominationally produced magazines and books. The question, “Why is the ABC in the conference office?” has often been asked. The answer is, “Because the ABC is a department of the conference.” Another question often asked is, “If we want non-Adventists to buy Seventh-day Adventist books, would it not be better to locate the Book Centers in a mall or on main streets downtown?” Most non-Adventist book buyers do not purchase Adventist reading materials in this way. The most effective use of literature is on a one-to-one basis where the member buys and gives or loans the book to the non-member. Four to five thousand church members in an area are needed to maintain a viable Adventist Book See page 7 for list of Publishing Department personnel, addresses and phone numbers. Center. With fewer members a liberal benefactor like the conference is needed for the store to survive. Pacific Union Book Centers have three goals: 1) To supply the church members with Adventist literature and other materials consistent with the standards of the Church and at the best prices. 2) To carry stock of outreach literature for members and churches to use in their witnessing projects. 3) To provide prompt service to the church schools on the required learning materials. As an accommodation, an inventory of foods and nutritional merchandise is also carried. During 1983 Adventist Book Centers in the Pacific Union distributed to the churches, members, and friends of the Church 238,815 copies of the Great Books of the Adventist World, volumes written by Ellen White; and 964,351 copies of other books from the Church’s publishing houses. In addition, they sold nearly 26,000 records and cassette tapes. Two new stores were built within the past year, in Arizona and Central California.

Each sale consummated and paid for is truly a miracle. The LE in your area especially needs your prayers, support and encouragement as he or she is working by faith from day to day spreading the good news of Jesus’ love and soon return. Your Publishing Department and HHES needs your support in deferred giving. The entire Publishing Ministry has been financed from Conference appropriations and earnings from the sales dollar itself; however, for our literature evangelists to do the work that God has ordained, they need massive support in areas such as advertising in the newspapers, and on radio and television. If God has impressed you with the urgency of helping spread the “GOOD NEWS” via the printed page and you would like to support this ministry either by deferred giving or present giving, please consult with your local Conference Trust officers.

Incoming and outgoing WATS telephone lines give customers, literature evangelists and HHES personnel instant contact in handling the many minute details involved in selling an average of one-half million dollars of soul-stirring literature to customers every month. The Wang computer, under the direction of Ted Benson, has the power to track each customer transaction so that HHES personnel know the exact status of any one of the 20,000 active customers. Computer knowledge enables communications previously impossible. For example, HHES is a certified user of the United States Post Office E-Com mailing service. This service enables HHES to send billing notices to customers via electronic pulses to established post office centers for printing and distribution from various postal centers throughout the U.S. Thus, messages sent on Wednesday afternoon to the Los Angeles area are printed, stuffed and delivered by the post office to LE customers on Thursday for just 26 cents per letter. Truly, God has given man knowledge today so that we can carry on an effective witnessing and selling program as well as make the program an efficient business. HHES total sales during 1983 passed the $6 million mark. Increase to net worth exceeded $250,000. The Pacific Union’s newest building complex was primarily pay for their merchandise. Thus soul winning is not restricted to phone calls and letters; HHES personnel—credit checkers, credit advisers and supervisors—witness to salespeople and service people too. When HHES moved to Westlake seven years ago, service contracts were set up on the various equipment where outside knowledge is essential. One such service was on our Pitney Bowes mail inserter. Despite its being old and long since depreciated, this equipment does insert our mail at 120 pieces per minute—if you know how to operate it and keep it running! About five years ago HHES contracted with Chuck McDonald to service not only the equipment but to be on the job with us during our monthly main billing procedure.

Watsonville Spanish Church inaugurates Summer Literature Program for Youth When Watsonville, California, Spanish members considered the restlessness of their youth last summer, Fidel Diaz had an idea. Personal ministries leader of his church and husband of a literature evangelist, Mr. Diaz suggested a “small literature program” to his pastor who himself had been a student LE. Pastor Marvin Santos contacted Eddy Canales, a conference assistant publishing director; and the team obtained two vehicles with some volunteer drivers. On June 14 ten youth, aged 12-17, began a systematic visitation and sale of small books and periodicals. By summer’s end, they had delivered $13,700 in cash sales of books and 11,000 Spanish journals. In addition, they had prayed in scores of homes, shared their faith, and obtained educational funds. Other congregations could share in this motivational employment for their youth this summer. tory replaced to them faster than ever before—reducing capital requirements on the Conference and LE levels. It is estimated that the present warehouse facility could process upwards of $25 million per year based on 1984 dollars. However, the bottom line of the entire Publishing and HHES outreach is soul winning. We wish that each of you could listen in on the thousands of phone conversations taking place at HHES every month.

The pastors on the Advisory Council recommended that three Sabbaths in March be designated as “Special Guest Sabbaths.” The dates for these three Sabbaths (March 17, 24, & 31) follow the showing of the IT IS WRITTEN miniseries on the previous weekends. The schedule for the IT IS WRITTEN miniseries for this conference is as follows: Bay Area KTVU—Channel 2 7:30 a.m. Saturdays March 10,17&24 KFCB—Channel 42 8:30 p.m. Saturdays March 10,17, & 24 Sacramento Area KOVR—Channel 13 7:00 a.m. Sundays March 11,18, & 25 KFCB—Channel 42 8:30 p.m. Saturdays March 10,17, & 24 Chico-Redding Area KRCR—Channel 7 8:00 a.m. Sundays March 11,18&25 Eureka Area KVIQ—Channel 6 9:30 a.m. Sundays March 11,18, & 25 KIEM—Channel 3 7:30 p.m. Mondays March 12,19, & 26 Lake County Area KAL—Channel 62 7:30 p.m. Thursdays March 15, 22, & 29 Produced in an investigative, documentary format, the miniseries will answer questions such as: What do Adventists really believe? Why do they live, on the average, from four to seven years longer than the general population? Why are they among the fastest-growing churches in the world today? While answering these questions, the miniseries will be utilized to invite people to visit an Adventist Church near them. Hopefully they will make it their church home. Four-Color Brochure Invites Interests To Attend Church A four-color brochure has been designed and mailed to almost 200,000 homes in the Northern California Conference inviting people to view the special IT IS WRITTEN miniseries. In addition, the brochure will invite people to attend a Seventh-day Adventist Church near them on the Sabbaths of March 17, 24, and 31. The Pastors’ Advisory Council recommended that pastors throughout the Conference all speak on the same subjects on these three special Sabbaths. The subjects chosen for these Sabbaths reflect three of the greatest themes of Scripture and of Adventism. On Sabbath, March 17, the subject is “Salvation in Christ.” This was chosen to emphasize the importance that Seventh-day Adventists place on a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. “The Second Coming of Jesus Christ” is the subject for Sabbath, March 24. This is a message that the world still needs to hear and we still need to give! The final Sabbath of March features the topic of the Sabbath in “The ‘Rest’ of Grace.” The brochure has been mailed to IT IS WRITTEN interests, to some local church interest lists, to selected communities as a whole, and to customers who have purchased books and Bibles from Literature Evangelists. Statistically, from a brochure of this type, churches in the Conference could expect about 1,500 visitors during the three-week period. George Vandeman’s “The CRY of a Lonely Planet” To Be Offered To Church Visitors The focal point of the IT IS WRITTEN miniseries is to invite viewers to attend a Seventh-day Adventist church near them. Because of this emphasis, George Vandeman’s book “The CRY of a Lonely Planet” will be offered to all non-Adventist guests of Seventhday Adventist churches on these three “Special Guest Sabbaths.” The abridged version of the book will be offered nationwide to IT IS WRITTEN viewers on the miniseries telecast. This shorter version will also be offered in advertising in TV Guide during March. But visitors to Adventist churches in the Northern California Conference will receive the 348-page unabridged edition that explains in a delightful way so many of the teachings of the Church. It is hoped that the book will attract IT IS WRITTEN viewers to a Sabbath service. Truth 1 for the EndTime Once the “Special Guest Sabbaths” are over, the concern is to help make people who were once visitors into people who will want to make the Seventh-day Adventist Church their church home. There are three approaches that most of the churches in the Conference will be utilizing. One is the TRUTH FOR THE END TIME video series that features George Vandeman. This is a series of 30 lessons on video tape. Participants are provided a New King James Bible, notebook, and lessons so that they can “chain” mark their Bible on the doctrines presented. Another highly successful approach that will be used in many churches is the REVELATION SEMINAR. The 24-lesson study on the prophecies and doctrines of Scripture has attracted large numbers of non-Adventists to churches who are using it. Over half of the churches in the Conference will use these Seminars. Others will utilize some form of public evangelism. 6 PACIFIC UNION RECORDER I MARCH 5,1984 PACIFIC union COLLEGE Summer Tuition To Be Cut 10 Percent The Pacific Union College Board of Trustees has approved a 10 percent cut in tuition costs for the 1984 summer quarter of study. The cut, which is measured against quarterly tuition rates charged for the 1983-1984 school year, will actually represent tuition costs 15 percent lower than those charged for the 1984 fall quarter of study. The summer quarter of study, which begins on June 18, offers a variety of seminars and special classes, as well as general college courses geared toward incoming freshmen and continuing college students. Two special summer programs, PUC Experience and EXCEL, will offer free tuition or reduced tuition to qualifying students.
