Multi-Lingual Evangelistic Center in Toronto Textbooks for SDA Church Volume XLIII, No. 3 Oshawa, Ontario January 30, 1974 Multi-Lingual Evangelistic Center in Toronto L. L. REILE, President, Canadian Union Conference New and commodious quarters have been recently acquired in Toronto to house a church and multi-lingual evangelistic center. On December 29 the Hungarian Church moved into these quarters, with over 90 people present to participate in the day's activities. Guest speaker was L. L. Reile, recently elected president of the Canadian Union. Visitors were present from Washington, D.C., and other Ontario churches. Elder Stephan Denyi, pastor of the Cleveland, Ohio Hun- garian Church was also present with a musical group who gave several instrumental and vocal numbers in the meetings. W. Kozachenko is the district leader for the Hungarian believers and baptized two persons at the close of the morning sermon, for which much credit is due Bela Lenart, local elder of the church. The rapidly-growing company of Portuguese members, under the leadership of Elder Henry Feyerabend, also meet in the main sanctuary of the center. Textbooks for SDA Church Schools CHARLES B.

  • It Is Written
    John Bradshaw, speaker-director. Photo from ItIsWritten.com It is Written GREG HUDSON Greg Hudson, D.Min. (Andrews University, Berrien Springs, Michigan), is the senior pastor of the Georgia-Cumberland Academy church in Calhoun, Georgia. He has worked as a registered nurse, and served as a pastor and academy chaplain in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Georgia. It Is Written, a Seventh-day Adventist television ministry founded by George Vandeman, began a weekly broadcast in selected American cities in 1956 and has since extended its reach throughout the world. The first religious television program to broadcast in color, It Is Written has innovated methods of using mass media technologies to augment local evangelism throughout its history. The Emergence of Adventist Television Ministry (1939-1955) The Adventist church became involved in television ministry in 1949, a decade after the televising of the New York World’s Fair in 1939 demonstrated the potential of this new medium.1 After the end of World War II in 1945, as more and more Americans acquired television sets, Adventists saw both its dangers as an immoral influence and its great potential in reaching large numbers of people with the message of Jesus.2 The success demonstrated by the Voice of Prophecy radio broadcast, helped prepare Adventists to recognize the evangelistic potential of modern media. R. H. Libby, J. L. Tucker, and W. A. Fagal pioneered the Adventist use of television as a means of evangelism. On the west coast Tucker started airing The Quiet Hour in 1949.3 In November of that same year, R. H. Libby started airing A Faith to Live By in Baltimore, generating much interest and hundreds of Bible studies, despite working with no budget, no music director, and no musicians.4 Soon another program, Heralds of Hope, with evangelist Robert L.
