CAMP WAWONA 1984—the year of the passion play. Led by Pacific Union College Senior Ray Georgeson,
from Kerman, the staff produced a multi-scene dramatization of the life of Christ, presenting the play on six
Sabbath afternoons. The 1,100 youth who attended Wawona’s 32 general and diversified camps watched with
scores of parents and friends who came significant distances to share in the experience. Rick Nelson, from
O’Neals, portrayed the Master with such a level of reverent intensity that both he and audience were well-nigh
spent at the end of the 110-minute play. (Nelson, also a student at PUC, is spending this school year as a stu-
dent missionary on the island of Marjuro in Micronesia.) In the actual-performance scenes pictured here, the
Christ heals a blind girl (Kimberly Key, a junior at Loma Linda Academy) and, escorted by disciples (Terry Roth
and Pat Nakamura), enters Jerusalem in triumph.
SS
IN THE FRESNO AREA, McDonald’s sign of the golden arches
means more than just fast food. It means that the restaurant chain’s
local division is a strong supporter of the LISTEN magazine alcohol,
drug, and tobacco program available to public schools. McDonald's Divi-
sion Superintendent Larry DeVries (above, left) receives an award from
Central California Conference officials for his company’s contribution
which will fund the program at five schools including Edison High
School. Joining in the presentation are Bob Bohiman and Claudio In-
gleton, LISTEN representatives; Publishing Department Director Lon
Ferguson; and Vice President for Administration George Elstrom.

Needed in Two Areas

And support people too.
The need 1s for those who have
learned to entertain themselves—
like behind a telephoto lens rather
than in front of a television. And
the need is for those who will stay
awhile, who have an interest in
providing a continuity to health-
care.
Corporations Impressed
Vendors like General Electric
and Hewlett Packard have been
captivated by all that has been
done there by the current dedi-
cated staff—and those who have
helped to build what there is to-
day. They are upgrading equip-
ment in the laboratories, nursery,
and patient rooms.
Other benefactors are noting
housing needs—for families and
singles.
If you would like to make a gift
of yourself to put that new and
used equipment to full benefit,
write Administrator Jack Williams,
Monument Valley Adventist Hos-
pital, Box 4, Monument Valley,
Utah 84536.
Singapore Hospital Desperate
A ‘foreign mission’’ need is at
Youngberg Memorial Hospital in
the Republic of Singapore. Already
understaffed, the hospital now is
without an internist because their
doctor has come to the States for
further training. Survival of this
68-bed facility might well depend
upon at least one physician for a
year. Longevity might well be
assured by one or two who would
like to make it a career service.
Housing is available. Other
Pacific Union medical workers are
there—Richard Taggart, DDS;
Clarence Ing and Shinji Kubo,
MDs.

ice possibilities to Vice-President
Peter Foo, Youngberg Memorial

GC Special Project Offering
B (Continued from page 1)
the world. Seventh-day Adventists
are on several stations in the South
Pacific. Last year we received
23,000 letters in response to our
broadcast on a rather small station
limited to only a few hours of
broadcasting per week.
Since the days of the Pitcairn,
Adventists have rallied to these
big challenges. I am sure that
multiplied thousands of Seventh-
day Adventists will respond to this
new opening with generous gifts.
By establishing our own radio sta-
tion on Guam, we will touch an au-
dience numbered in the millions.
All that is needed is the total sup-
port of the entire church, specifi-
cally, your contribution and mine.
Dates for the special offering to
be received are March 9 and May
25, 1985. The time to begin laying
aside funds for this major project
is now, and we should do it
regularly and systematically.
While the people of the South
Pacific will benefit immensely
from this outreach ministry, the
North American Church will be
twice blessed. Our sense of mis-
sion will be heightened and we
shall be strengthened for the
finishing of the task.
Let’s take advantage of the op-
portunity. Let’s ‘‘follow the open-
ing.”’
