"There were a few glitches, as you'd expect in the first time through the program, but overall it was a very well presented program."

Russian Evangelists Preach Gospel on American Soil

Operation Bearhug, which began with the call for Northwest pastors and lay people to reach out to Russia, is now bringing Russian evangelists to Ameri- can soil. The story of this unexpected mirror- image, reflex action in America began in 1992 when Pastor Vasily Stoyer and a team from Russia visited more than 15 churches in the Washington Conference to share reports of evangelistic advances in Russia. At a particular Bellingham, Wash., meeting during the tour, 50 Russian and Pastor Michael Oleinik, left, stands with new converts Sergei, Vera and Vladimir.

At the close of the crusade, more than a dozen people indicated their desire for baptism, and nine of them have become new members of the Kent church. Pastor Korchuk has since returned to pastor his church of 400 members, and Pastor Oleinik is pursuing graduate studies in ministry, but they have left behind a nucleus of new Russian church members to continue sharing the light of the Advent message with their country- men living in Washington.

Plea for Wisdom Officers of the North Pacific Union pray with Washington Conference leaders during a recent dia- logue session in which discussion centered on how to address special needs in the Washington Conference. Main agenda items had to do with the need for evan- gelism funds, a strategy for housing congregations in the fast-growing population area, ethnic evangelism, advance planning and baptismal growth. The meeting took place in the West Seattle church, a building whose history illustrates problems faced in the Washington Conference, which contains 40 percent of the population encompassed by the North Pacific Union but whose Adventist membership comprises only 20 percent of union totals. The West Seattle church was started about 10 years ago, but because of tremendous land costs and economic problems, the church members have been housed in 11 different locations during the 10-year period. Only recently has a small building been purchased with special funding assistance from the Washington Conference. There was also ample opportunity for sharing frustrations and joys during the recent gathering, and Marvin Glantz, confer- ence treasurer, summed up the feeling of all at the meeting when he said, "Leadership today is enriched by having individuals of experience come into the field to counsel, as well as to listen."
