North America's Responsibility Because these people groups are scattered through several conferences and unions, their membership in most cases is small compared with other people groups. It falls to the North American Division to see that adequate resources, manpower, information and strategy are made available as quickly as possible. The Mission Extension Offering, to be received in the churches throughout North America on September 10, will provide a special opportunity to support the ministry for these two people groups: groups that up until now, have been unreceptive to the gospel, but now the door is open. A donor who wants to designate his or her entire gift to one or both of these projects, may do so simply by indicating this on the offering envelope. "There are hundreds of thousands of church members who have expressed the wish to give directly to projects of /heir choice," says J. Lynn Martell, North American Division director of church ministries. "Here is a chance to do just that.

The women in Mid-America asked for support groups within the church to help them deal with divorce, abuse and other family difficulties.

8 OUTLOOK September, 1988 Attending the Leavenworth Adventist church for the first time that very next Sabbath, Maria picked a good Sabbath to worship, according to Eileen Stevens, a member of the Leavenworth church. A sister church from Troy, Kansas joined Leavenworth that weekend for a spiritual revival, communion service and fellowship dinner. "Oh, I enjoyed my first Sabbath service. And, by the way, I got in on a full day as well. We were having kind of a retreat, so I stayed for meals and fellowshipped the entire day and I enjoyed it greatly," she beams. Maria felt good about attending the Seventh-day Adventist Church. All she knew before about Adventists is they went to church on Saturday and sponsored a radio broadcast known as , which she enjoys listening to. The following Sabbath Maria was in the Leavenworth church again. That's when Eileen and her husband, Charles, became worried.

September, 1988 OUTLOOK 9 Seminar at the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Bob, Betty and B.J., then eleven, attended every night of the five-week seminar. "One night the preacher said, 'What you'll hear tonight will change your life.' And he was right," says Bob. The topic was the Sabbath. Bob tried every way he knew to disprove the seventh-day Sabbath, but he couldn't. His friends from other churches couldn't. He and Betty became convicted to start keeping the Sabbath. Then in August, 1980, he and Betty and B.J. were baptized as Seventh-day Adventists. Co-workers at the steel mill warned Bob that if he quit working on Friday nights and Saturdays, he would be fired. His earnings would be cut almost in half, since weekend work paid time and a half. But Bob kept the Sabbath and his job. His friends said, "How can you do this to your family? Do you expect them to live on next to nothing?" Mill workers lived well; many, including the Alarcons, had bought Bob and Betty Alarcon pose with their son, B.J., on the Union College campus.

A five-week evangelistic endeavor was recently conducted by Mid-America Union evangelist, Harmon Brownlow, and the local pastor in Grand Forks, North Dakota, Del Griebel. At the conclu- sion, twenty-one people were baptized. It is important to note that almost all of those baptized had had previous contact with the church through various members. Some had received Bible stu- dies. Others had attended felt-needs seminars. This reinforces the idea of church members building friendships and sowing the gospel seed that will produce results when evangelistic meetings are held. The Grand Forks church family is rejoicing for their new members.

Oak Grove Heights BY M. M. GUTMAN

The Davenport church conducted a successful Vacation Bible School under the leadership of Melodie Beerbower and Alice Haas. A program for the parents and others was presented on Friday evening. The theme of this year's school was "Happy With Jesus." Forty-eight children were registered with 29 coming from non- Adventist homes. The Kindergarten department is shown doing crafts. Pastor Tom Baker reports that more than 60 guests were Columbia registered for the 1988 Vacation Bible School. Diane Coleman, director, and Esther Mae Rose, assistant director, had a well- planned, ever-moving program starting with Pastor Baker and his guitar for song service and ending with stories, health talks, refreshments, crafts, and the full tilt of interesting activities. The closing program brought a crowd of visitors to the church for graduation ceremonies and each child had a chance to participate. Congratulations, Oak Grove Heights for a job well done!

30 OUTLOOK September, 1988 "Pass me not, 0 Gentle Saviour..."

Carol awakened very alert—despite a drug hangover. She reached over and turned on the radio expecting to hear rock music. Instead, she heard singing . . . "Pass me not, 0 Gentle Saviour." Carol melted. "Listening to that song broke my heart," she remembers Everything within me reached out to the Saviour the voice was singing about—I was experiencing God. I've never been the same. "When the song was over, H. M. S. Richards talked about God's plan for my life. I knew I had to take immediate action!" "I got out of bed and quickly packed. I could no longer live in a sinful environment. Desperately searching the phone book I found the name of the Seventh-day Adventist church. Carol was full of questions. Faye was full of Faye Mills answered the phone that Sunday answers. Wednesday night, Carol went to prayer morning. I blurted out: meeting with Faye. "I'm looking for God, and I've had some-bad "When I walked into that Adventist church, experiences going to different churches. I'm not the faces of the people looked like faces lit up— going to your church. You will have to come to and for the first time in my life, I found in them me! and the Seventh-day Adventist Church an echo "If you can show me there's a God, I'll join of what my inner voice had been leading me to CAROL your church.- for so long.-

Carol was baptized into the Memphis First Seventh-day Adventist Church in the Spring of 1974 at the age of 24. There she met her future husband, Don, and today they have two beautiful daughters. Her life could have taken a much different turn if the Voice of Prophecy had not been there when she casually flipped that radio dial. And there are millions of other confused, longing, yearning, lonely people—just like Carol—who will hear about Jesus because of your gift on Voice of Prophecy Day. Please plan to be generous with your Lord. His rich presence will fill your life!
