Edwin Schwisow

It was more than 100 years ago that the first "colporteur" sold a religious book which, to most mainline Christian clerics of the day, contained blatant "Advent heresy." Today, a force of 14,000 follows his example and spans the globe, selling books ranging from health advice to

Mark Anspach had been a literature evangelist for eight months when I met him at the North Pacific Union Litera- ture Evangelism Institute, held Aug. 31 to Sept. 5 at Camp MiVoden, on the shores of Idaho's Hayden Lake. Anspach described the process which took him out of a boiler room onto the streets of Fairbanks, Alaska, to sell books. He told of a conversion experience which, in his words, "brought me out of the honky-tonk crowd to Jesus."

This work is vital to our church. It was designed by God Himself. It's something the encyclopedia salesman or Avon lady just can't say about their work," he emphasizes. Anspach agrees that his work gives him an excellent chance to witness for Christ to those who have never heard of his church or its message. But sometimes answering an overload of honest questions can prove frustrating. On one hand, Anspach's goal is to get as many books as possible into Fair- banks homes. But what can he do when an interested client wants to talk religion or receive a Bible study on the spot? It happens all the time. Often, Anspach follows a rule of thumb which he believes is in harmony with his calling: "My job is to put books into the home. If someone shows excep- tional interest, I sign them up for one of our Bible courses, or refer them to a Bible instructor. My first job is to get out the books." Nevertheless, Anspach, like many of his fellow literature evangelists, keeps an active Bible study schedule. And it cuts into time he might be spending with his family. But he gets by with it, partly due to his wife's determination to help him suc- ceed in his work. "She supports what I'm doing because she knows what I'm doing is right. Without her help I could never hold down this job," he asserts. Good family relations are the key to many successes in book sales, believes Mel Lyon, North Pacific Union Confer- ence Publishing Department director.

But he must have something more: a mission. "This would be the last thing in the world I'd be doing if I didn't really believe that this was God's work," Anspach assured me. "I'm not what you call a born salesman." It was Anspach's type of determination which helped literature evangelists in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska sell more than $1 million worth of literature last year.

Crusade Dates—Nov. 12, 1977 - Jan. 7, 1978 In His steps Making man whole

You have seen or have heard of the miracles that love has worked in the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, some living near you, some living half a world away. Without this kind of love, which follows in the steps of Jesus, there is no way that frail, malnourished children in the Third World, or lonely, troubled young people in the ghettos of Chicago, or disaster victims in places like Darwin, Australia; Topeka, Kansas; Stillwater, Oklahoma; Italy or Guatemala could ever experience miracles of restoration. These miracles have happened because Adventist church members like you have volunteered to work and to support the Ingathering Appeal.

But his church members want to keep it that way. As long as Pastor Andy Wolcott can reach more people, more effectively, with the gospel, he's free to attend parties every night of the week, as far as they're concerned. Wolcott started attending parties — Bible parties, that is — last February. He didn't go to many during the summer months. But he's back to the Bible party circuit since neighbors are back home from vacation. How can a pastor work for his church at a party? It's easy — if it's a Bible party. One reason is that everyone there has come for a special purpose — to study the world's most influential book with their friends. Wolcott claims that Bible parties are not too hard to get started. But if holding a party seems a roundabout way to get people to study the Bible, he emphasizes that the results make it well worth any effort. The idea came to him from D. E. PAINTERS ALOFT.

HI, I'M JEFFREY AND I'M 2! Let me tell you what my daddy told me just the other day.

My daddy told me that a friend of his named Ray, who works for FAITH MEDIA, INC., is building a radio station for Jesus.

Daddy told me that in order to safeguard the interests of people who give money to the radio station project, the UPPER COLUMBIA MISSION SOCIETY has agreed to hold the contributions in a trust depositor's account. Daddy says that doesn't necessarily mean the Mission Society officially endorses Ray's project. But what it does mean is that not a cent of your money will be spent until the project is fully approved by the federal government. Daddy says that he is going to send a monthly tax-deductible contribution to the UPPER COLUMBIA MISSION SOCI- ETY OF SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS at W. 1025 Indiana Ave., Spokane, WA 99205, because he wants to help tell people about Jesus with TOTAL CHRISTIAN RADIO. Faith Media, Inc., is recognized by the IRS as a nonprofit corporation.
