_ On page 2 of Issue 27 of the Lake Union Herald (dated July 31, 1979) was a brief item entitled "Soulwinning Institute Update." It was a last-minute effort to acquaint readers with the facts that our new training school in would open its doors for classes on August 5. It was that little reminder that caught the attention of one of our medical families in the Lake Union. Their thoughts immediately turned to two talented and dedicated women in their church. With only two or three days to spare, the necessary contacts were made and now Teresa Moravitz and Angie Reiger of Onaway, SEQUEL , are attending classes at the institute. I witnessed the interest and participation of these two women in their morning class work, and enjoyed their enthusiasm about plans for conducting Bible studies in the homes of interested people as scheduled for the afternoon. Elder Finley reports that Teresa and Angie, upon completion of their training, will be outstanding Bible workers. If readers of this column are interested in attending the institute on their own, or would like to sponsor other deserving and qualified persons, they should contact Elder , Soulwinning Institute, 6259 South Madison, Hinsdale, Illinois 60521.

TWO Roscoe Brown decided while serving in the Armed Forces during the Korean War that when he returned home he would become a preacher—something he had always wanted to do. Reaching home, Mr. Brown discovered he just didn't know where to begin. He couldn't even understand the Bible. In frustration, he knelt and prayed for guidance. About two weeks later, Beatrice Hampton, a Seventh-day Adventist Bible worker, knocked on his door and invited him to take Bible studies. For an entire year Mrs. Hampton faithfully gave Mr. Brown studies. Some of those who went with Mrs. Hampton gave up, saying Roscoe would never join the church. However, with much persistence and prayer on the part of Mrs. Hampton, Mr. Brown was baptized. Shortly after joining the church Mr. Brown attended an evangelistic crusade held by Elder E. E. Cleveland. He was so impressed he immediately began giving Bible studies. As a result of his diligence, 10 persons were baptized. Roscoe was not satisfied that he was doing enough for the Lord even with giving Bible studies, serving as the lay activities leader and head usher. He still felt the Lord wanted him to preach and was continually writing sermons but never preaching them. Roscoe Brown fulfilled a life-long ambition when he He decided to move his membership to a smaller became a lay pastor. congregation where his services would be more useful. He chose the Robbins, Illinois, Church. There THE HEART OF THE LAKE UNION he was chosen to serve as a local elder. Elder Jessie Wagner decided in 1974 to give Roscoe the opportunity to hold an evangelistic crusade. He was given a tent and a $500 budget. After WITNESS six weeks of preaching, 13 new believers joined the church. During the same time, Roscoe began to experience FOR dizziness and fatigue. When he checked into the Veterans Hospital it was discovered that he was suffering from a rare brain disease which slowly deteriorates the cerebellum. This portion of the brain THE LORD controls speech, eyesight, balance and coordination. Hoping that the diagnosis was wrong, Roscoe also by Crystal Drake was examined at the Mayo Clinic.

Fl VE Faith for Today William A. Fagal believes the secrets of television communication were given by God "as a key means of reaching people with the Gospel right in their own homes." And Faith For Today, the telecast he founded in 1950, has been doing just that for nearly 30 years. The first church-sponsored telecast, Faith For Today also has the distinction of being the longest, continuous-running religious program in the history of the medium. Pastor Fagal explains how the In 1937 the name of the telecast began. "I asked my New broadcast was changed to the York congregation to pray that Voice of Prophecy. somehow the Lord would open What Dr. Richards says is doors for us to make use of perhaps the greatest thrill of his television," he says. "And when entire ministry came with his first the invitation came to conduct a coast-to-coast broadcast over the denomination experiment for one Mutual Broadcasting System in year on WABC-TV in New York, 1942.

Today the Voice of Prophecy is heard either Sunday or daily on some 800 stations in North America.

SIX The telecast actually traces its roots back to London and frustrations growing out of a highly successful series of meetings held there nearly 30 years ago. In the early 1950's, Elder Vandeman was invited to conduct a series in one of London's finest theaters. Even though as many as three presentations were given nightly, many people had to be turned away from the 2,500-seat facility. This troubled Elder Vandeman. And he was even more concerned because millions in that city were not even aware of the meetings. He recalls, "After returning to the States, my concern continued the "unchurched," F.F.T. hoped to Through the combined influence to grow.

Nine colorful, contemporary courses are available to help students toward a new way of life through study of the Scriptures.

EIGHT and direct-mailings are sent out by Computer Mailing Services. Computers file a total mailing list of approximately 21/2 million names. This list of viewers, listeners and Bible School students (many of whom are non-Adventists) forms an integral part of the various broadcast ministries, for they help contribute essential funds and prayer support. The costs of producing the programs, and buying time on existing stations and acquiring new outlets, are high. And they continue to rise at astronomical rates. Part of the funding comes from the denomination and from church offerings. But much of it more than 10,000 slides for Adventist Media Productions must be raised by the broadcasters evangelistic purposes.

NINE Classes have begun at the Lake Union Soulwinning Center in Chicago—and more than half the students are laymen. A total of 34 students have enrolled for the first quarter which began August 6. Eighteen are laymen, eight are ministers, and eight are seminary students. One of the laymen is Harry Sponseller from Shepherd, Michigan, who sold a profitable aluminum-siding business in order to attend. Harry had a heartfelt desire to be more active and effective in witnessing activities.

"We don't offer them any promise of employment," Elder Finley continued, "but we feel there are many laymen who have and will develop sufficient skills to become Bible workers—some even becoming employees of the church." "Others," says Elder Finley, "will be sponsored by larger church congregations and we are thrilled by the three we have in this first class who are sponsored by physicians to assist in making their practice soulwinning programs."

says Mark Finley, director of the institute. "Our primary goal is to help laymen become effective, per- sonal workers in the framework of their own profession or vocation."
