AMERICAN ADDRESS: 804 MISSISSIPPI AMARILLO TEXAS/BILLS FAMILY TO SAIL IN JUNEAccording to the present plans the Bills familywill sail for Pysan, Korea in June of this year. ThiswilLbe-flre second term for the family. The first termwas spent in apan with Alex making occasional

trips to Korea.The first term represented the f ir st serious effortsof our churches to develop missionary radio and resulted in extensive work developing in Japan and in

Europe, But most important was the permit from theKorean government to erect a missionary radio stationin Pusan Immediately this permit was inhand the Bills family ir et ur ne d t o the Sta tes

financial problem,food clothing for a he Bills family . . . Alex Bettygrowing family, and ready to sail for Korea inhousehold equipment the mission field.all for a full term must be obtained and finally shipped. Then there is the emotional problem of leavingfamily and friends for such a long time.However, the entire family, including the children,seem anxious and willing to go. Alex and Bet ty bothagree that, After all our commission from the Lordis to be there doing the work of a missionary; notbeing here and telling people about it.

He tha t walketh with wise men shal l be wise: buta companion of fools shall be destroyed,Prov. 13-20.

PLANS FOR CHRISTIAN RADIO STATIONPROCEEDING ACCORDING TO SCHEDULE are thrilled with the way the Lord s people areresponding to the opportunity to set up the newChristian Radio Station in Pusan, Korea. The twogreat needs are more workers to help do the work andadditional funds for equipment and operation.However according to the present rate of incomewe will be able to take the first step forward in Juneas we had planned from the beginning. We only havemoney for this first step, purchasing ofland and start-

ing on the building

Kathleen 8), Rebecca 6), Ver- winter months we willJune 1956 for a second term on need add i t iona l32,000 to completethe buildings, order the first units of equipment andget the station on the air with Korean Programs byChristmas time of this year.This amount, a little more than half of the 5100,000budget will get a small station on the air for thePusan area. Then later we will get the larger transmitter for coverage of the whole area of Korea, Chinaand Japan.

KOREA: THE MISSION FIELDThere are many reasons why

Korea i s one of the most important mission fields in theworld. Of course anywhere thereand men and women withoutChrist that place is important toGod, but we who have only onelife to invest fo r Christ must also conside r the responsivenessof people to the message webring them. In this latter matterKorea is today the greatest ofall miss ion f ie ldsAlthough Korea has been opentothegospel for a shorter period,about 80 years, than most of the-great mission fields, there is agreater percentage of the peoplewho believe in Christ than anyother country in the Far East. InJapan less than one-half of onepercent are being reached by thechurch, in India the figure isonly about one percent while inKorea about seven percent of thepopulation claim to be Christian.

This is due par tly, as contrasted with Japan, to the factthat they have no rel igious system that is tied up with patriotism. In Japan to be disloyal toShinto shrines is held by manyto be equal to disloyalty to thegovernment.

Another factor is that the denominational boards have all hadthe policy of sending their conservat ives to Korea and theirliberals to_ Japan and China.This resulted in a weak nativechurch over against a strong nat ive church in Korea.Equally important has beenthe outstanding faith and testimony of the Christians themselves Tens of th ou san ds ofKo r e a n s have sealed t h e i rChristian faith in the blood ofMartyrdom during the past fewyears. This has greatly impressed the general population.Today there is a great movement of people to Christ and theBible. They greatly need ourmessage of loyalty just to Christand simple obedience to God s

BIBLE CHRISTIAN BROADCASTBEGINS FIFTH YEARTheBible Christian Programwhich is heard in the Englishlanguage every Monday night bytwo million people in 17 countries in Europe now begins it sfifth year. The program which isproduced by the Christian RadioMission but supported by fundsgiven from America through theGospel Broadcasting Mission issaid to have a larger weekly au-diance than at tend all of theChris t ian churches and churchesof Christ in America in any given w ee k.

Mr. and Mrs. Walter Coble of208 South Guilford St., Garrett,Indiana began the fund raisingfor this project some years agoas a memorial to a fo ste r so nwho w as k il led in the war inEurope.

The simple broadcast of theNew Testament message as thesolution to the denominationaldivisions of Europe is attractingwide at tent ion . A B ib le c orre spondence course is operated inconnect ion with the program under the direc t ion of Exie Ful tzin Japan. Several hundred areenrol led . Other resul t s h av e b ee nbaptisms and enlistments for theministry of this message.

In connection with the follow-up activities great value is placed on the monthly magazine*L appello Christiano published by Guy Mayfield in Rome inItalian and English editions andcirculated to many hundreds ofour listeners in Europe. Fundsto make possible the wide circulation of this excellent publication should be sent to Mrs. J.Watis Ward, 1207 Sta te St. , Washington, Indiana, who is forwarding agent for Mr. Mayfield.

The Coble s need help in theform of Wave Holders who byWord, before they are led intothe divisive systems of moderndenominationalism. This is ourtime of opportunity in Korea.

CARL LEYflS FAMILY . . .According to the original planCarl continues to work as enginee r at the radio and TV stat ionin Goodland, Kansas. He ha s supervised the instalation of thenew TV s ta t ion and the move toa new locat ion of the o ld ra diostation. This latter job is almost exac tly the kind of thingthat will be required to se t upthe missionary station in Pusan.So the exper ience has been ofthe greatest value.

The family is in need of livingl ink support and additional fundsfor transportation and householdequipment_necessary for the mission field. It is not planned forthe family to do a great deal oftraveling and speaking sinceCarl is not a preacher but a veryhighly ski lled and trained radioengineer. However they will beglad to visit any church to become better acquainted if thereis interest in taking the familyfor living link support.

The indirect work of engineering is not as attractive as thedirect preaching but in a radiostation it is among the most important phases of reaching millions with the Gospel.An ordination service is beingplanned for the family by theGoodland church .HELEN McDONALD RESIGNSDue to problems \ n^hin herfamily Miss Helen McDonald ofAlbuquerque, N. has resigned

from th e Christian Radio Mission.She has requested recall to active duty with WAC. Missionfunds in her possession are being used in the work in Japan.

We covet your prayers for our work.offerings and prayers will havea part in proclaiming the message of the restoration of thechurch described in the NewTestament. Prayer time is 4 p.m.C.S.T. when the program is onthe air at 11:05 p.m. 1439 KCin Europe.

JAPAN WORK ENLARGEDNew progress is being made inthe work of the Christian RadioMission in Japan with Exie Fultzproviding wonderful leadership.An impasse had been reachedin th e work there. With all of ouremphasis on the new station inKorea we were providing onlyenough funds to Japan just tokeep things going and not enoughto enable them to make use of thetalent and training of the workerson the staff or of the new doorsof opportunity It was a difficultdecision to make. O fcourse everydollar spent in Japan delays theday when the new station can goon the air in Korea. This lat terproject is so great in area covered and number of souls reachedthat it must be done at al l costs.

Yet we b el ie ve t ha t th e L ordand His people would want us touse fully the opportunities we already have. So in great faith believing the Lord would have itso, the Christian Radio Missionwill channel from general fundswhatever help is needed to make

shows something of the increasing interest in the use of Radioand TV to get our message before the people.At the Thursday evening dinner Walter Coble of th e Luxembourg work was devotional leaderand V. Alex Bills of R spokeon How Can Stateside Broadcasting Participate in MissionaryRadio. It was pointed out thatmany English programs can beused directly in missionary radio.Others can be used by translating or by a nat ive speaker t ranslating by an undertone justover the sound of the regularspeaker.

In some ca se s it should bepossible for U.S. radio programsto raise money directly for missionary radio projects. Stationswho will not permit asking formoney to suppor t your programare usual ly willing to have youraise missionary funds. An active missionary program is necessary to a lively church so missionary emphasis on your program will add interest.

The n th ere is th e need fo r enlistment and training of workersfor missionary radio, a projectwhich can best be done by those

ac t ive in Chris t ian Radio in th i scount ry .But our great need is Prayersupport. More powerful stationswill enable us to penetrate deeper into each country, Alex concluded, but message backedby prayer will penetrate deeperin to th e hea r t s o f the l i s t e ne rLISTENERS WR/TE . . .These are samples of some ofthe letters received almost everyday from listeners in Europe.

TSUKIKO DEMUKAI, JAPANESE CHRISTIANYoung National Christians, trained for leadershipare the hope for evangelizing their native country.

A mis s i ona ry has no morethrilling experience than thatof leading a person from thedarkness of heathenism to th ewonderful light of the Gospeland directing that person intochannels of reaching others oftheir own people for Chris t .Such is the story of the Bills'family relationship with MissTsukiko Demukai.A veteran missionary told theBills' upon their arrival in Japan that they should find someone who could interpret theirthoughts to the Japanese and inturn translate the thoughts andattitudes of the people to themissionary. This is far morethan the translation of words.But Tsuiko became such a go-be twe enAlthough she had never evenheard of Jesus Christ she bec ame a demonstration of th epower of the Gospel of Christ.Soon sh e was no longer translating the American'swords butwas able to present the Gospeldirectly to her people. She hasbeen active in many phases ofthe work and is now in chargeof the Japanese Bible correspondence courses and a veryvaluable assistant to ExieFultzin all the radio follow-up work.The message she sent to America was Thank allof the people who helped send missionaries to Japan, for it is they who made it possible for me toknow Jesus Christ as my Lord

TheGospel ByAir ToAllMen Everywhere

Christian radio missionAMERICAN ADDRESS: 804 MISSISSIPPI, AMARILLO, TEXAS

Apr i l 1956Dear Friend,One year ago we came home from a term of missionary service in the Far East with fouryears of thrilling experience behind us and a l i t t le piece of paper in our hands. Thatl i t t le piece of paper was the key to the greatest opportunity to reach millions of menand women with the gospel of Chri st that th e church has had in our l i fe time.That paper was a written approval from the government of Korea to erect and operate amissionary radio broadcasting station in Pusan, Korea. Here was an opportunity withoutparallel. Two million people in the Pusan area would be reached with the Gospel ofChrist, in their own language, day after day, until these two million Koreans couldintellectually accept or reject the Lord Jesus Christ.And not only would Korea be reached but plans included broadcasts of the Christianmessage through the bamboo curtain to the millions in China and ac ross the narrowsea to Japan where sixty million Japanese regularly l isten to radio broadcasts.Not only is this a great open door to reach people, but i t is economically possiblefor the churches in America to do the job. For as l i t t le as ten dollars 200 peoplewill hear the Gospel of Christ in their own language. Fo r the total cost of f iv e c en ts,one nickle, one soul has a chance to hear, and hear often enough, unti l he can accept h r i s t

But one nickle alone wil l not enable us to do the job. A radio stat ion has to be comp lete in order to do anything at all . The total cost is 100,000, half of which wemust have on hand or pledged) before we can sai l for Korea in June of this year.Most of you know of our Watt program. The station is to have 10,000 watts of power.Each Watt wil l cost ten dol la rs Many Christ ians in America have invested in watts .For each Watt they have made an eternal investment in the souls of 200 people. Butwe are s t i l l not enough.You people who read this are the only ones who can do anything about the salvation ofthe souls o f m i ll io ns in Korea. God loved them, Christ died for them, we are willingto go and t e l l them the story, i f only Y will give us the equipment necessary to dothe job.Please, for the sake of those who die without Christ , see i f God has not given yousomething you can invest in th is work for HIM We are waiting to hear from YOU

Ellis Family To CRMThe Christian Radio Mission is happy to announce

that Mr. an d Mrs. Bert Ell is and son have becom e recruits for the Radio work in Korea. Brother Ellis willassume the special responsibility of director of theprogram department of the new missionary radio station to be erected in Pusan, Korea.The coming of the Ellis family to work with Christian Radio Mission completes the basic staff necessary to begin operation of the station. The divisionof responsibility is V. Alex Bills, station adr inis-tration; Carl Lewistechnical department;Bert Ellis, program department, and Exie Fultzin charge of the work inJapan. Other workersare of course st i l l needed in each of the depar tments and fo r relatedwork.

The Ellis family iscurrently serving for thethird year with theChrist ian Chu rc h o f Ca-bool, Missouri and willremain there during thesummer months. Beginning the first of September Bro. El l i s wil l

65,000 For CRMMore than sixty five thousand dollars ( 65,000)has been pledged to put the new missionary Radio

Station on the ai r within the next 20 months by agroup of some 25 preachers and leaders at a specialmeeting in Louisville, Kentucky, Wednesday, May 9-This includes otherindividuals during the same week.This is especially thrilling in view of the fact thatwith the ten thousand already in hand and five thousand almost certain to be given we are within lessthan twenty thousand dollars of the final goal nec

essary to put the stationon the a irWith this large number of friends get ting behind the load i t i s a ssured that the projectwill go forward as planned. No project of thissize can be accomplished by only a few but bymany in it together it isbeing done for our Lord.

Th i s ction meansthat mil l ions in Koreawho are eager will havea chance to hear, moremillions behind theBamboo curt in inChina will have at l eas t

one ray of Gospel light penetrating into their darknessand in Japan where there are millions who cannot bereached in any other way will have a chance to knowand then to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as Lord,Saviour a nd Ma st er .This plan which is explained on the back page issimple enough that it can easily be carried out byour churches and yet it is complete enough to accomplish this very important task for Christ.

hope that many of our friends will be writing usin the next few days, telling us that they too will tryto get a club under way in their church or class.

Ellis family, Bert, Marjory and son, John, of Cabool, Missouri,who will go to Korea to head the program department.be available to represent the Christian Radio Miss ion and to vi s i t chu rche s in the interes t of t h i s work.All C.R.M. workers are expected to visit churchesto obtain pledged Living-link support and for fundsto at least cover transportation, and provide basicequipment necessary to liv ing on a foreign field.

Doug Dicky, at the invitation of Alex B il ls , pre sented hisplan of supporting this projectwith sp ecia l clubs like the oneshe has in his own congregationin Williamsport, Indiana. The response to the way in which thisidea was presented at just theright time is shown in storiese l sewhere in t hi s i ss u e

Due to the fact that completereorganization in connection withthe action of incorporation willbe carried ou t in a few weeks, noelection of members was conducted. When the incorporation is complete we will publish the list ofboard members. Among otherthings this board will hold t itleto all property and conduct anybus iness necessary to a goodstewardship of the gifts of theLord s People to carry on thiswork.Other actions concerned plansfor the Bills family to delay sailing a few weeks in order to makesure that this club plan of support was under way, and conside ration of p la ns for E xi e Fultz tor et urn t o the U.S . f or a much needed furlough this fall.Reports from Japan inc lude dnews of the possibility of beingable to get a daily Children sChristian program on the air.Please pray for this which wouldbe the first daily Christian radioprogram to be he ar d in Japan.

YfORKERS STILL NEEDEDAlthough the basic staff for thenew Missionary Radio Station isnow complete there are still op

portunities for a number of workers in the various phases of thiswork. People are needed to bepart of the program staff and todirect and produce programs inKorean, Japanese, Mandarin, Can-toneese and English languages.All this for several hours everyday could use the work of a lotof people.A lot of paper and desk workgoes on behind each program thatgoes out on the air, so here anumber of young ladies with office training could make a significant in ve stm en t o f their l ives .And o f c o u r s e m u s i c i s a universal language, providing a grea tf i el d o f s e r v i c e fo r t h o s e withspecial talents.

A school t e a c h e r i s needed immediately to sail this fall and se tup an American school for themissionary children. Of coursethere would be opportunities fordirect missionary work also.

Sometimes we are asked, Whatkind of workers do you need?This is a Missionary-Radio work,and t h e r e i s th e a ns we r We wil ldo a l l t h a t which i s c o n s i d e r e dmissionarywork, teach, translate,counsel and provide leadershipwhere needed. Then we do radiowork with al l of jobs found in arad io s t a t i o n h e r e in Amer i ca e xcept with the Christian slant onevery job.Engineering is the same anywhere in the world except the additional problems of being so farfrom parts and supplies. Music isgenerally about the same. Writingand preaching however is doneby natives and there the missionary is mostly a teacher and director. However there will be someEnglish programs directed to thethousands of G I s in the farEast and for programs in Europe.Write us if you are interested inserving the Lord in this work.

The Gospel By Air To All Men Everywhere.


May 1956Dear Friends,P ra is e th e LordI wish all of you could have been with us in Louisville ear lier thi s month when the Lord andsome of His people got together to do this very important job for HIM: The group was not large,something less than a hundred, mostly men who met together for coffee and dough-nuts followingthe Wednesday night session of the North American Christian Convention. But i t will go down asone of th e most important meetings ever held among our people.At the request of G. B. Gordon who called the meeting to order, I simply presented the situation, how we had the permit for the missionary radio s ta tion tha t could be erected in Pusan,Korea, and how now we had the people together to at least get the station under way. But unlesssomething was done to ge t the necessary money together we would loose this great opportunity.Then Doug Dickey presented a simple plan where a church or even a class could undertake a substantial part of the project. It could be set up as a club with only 50 people giving 25 centsa week for the next 20 months. One hundred such clubs in operation each month and the jobwould be doneWhen they realized how important immediate action is there were 11 men of God who almost immediately rose to the t ask . They agreed to return to their own churches and make every effort toget this plan under way and to enlist the aid of four other churches through their preacherfriends. Then there were a number of others who were sure thei r home churches would launch onesuch club. These along with other pledges through the week total 65,000 of underwriting of thenew st tion

Regular income each month for th e next 20 months will enable us to begin at once on the stationset up and move steadiJy toward i ts completation. However there is s t i l l need for others to undertake this special effort. t least ^ more clubs must also be launched this summer and beunder way no later than September, so th e station can become a reality as soon as possible.We need one person to be a C R M representative in each church along with the minister. Permission can be obtained from the chu rch boa rd to launch th i s club and in most churches whenthis great need and opportunity is presented i t is easy enough to find 50 people who can givea quarter a week above their regular giving fo r the next 20 months to put this station on thea i r fo r Ch r i s t

Y U who read this are the only ones who can do anything about i t If you w ill try to get sucha club under way in your church or class please write us and we w ill try to help you in anyway you wish. Some simple materials such as record forms and envelops a re available fo r thechurch to use

If i t is not possible for a fifty club 50 people giving then you almost certainly canlaunch a 25 club, which is only 25 people giv ing a quarter to Christ every week that millionsmay hear the wonderful Word of Life .

CHRISTIAN RADIO MISSIONAMERICAN ADDRESS 804 MISSISSIPPI, AMARILLO, TEXAS

YOU ARE NEEDEDThere is a job that only YOU can do for the Lord.It may be that you are one of the people who shouldjoin the staff of the Christian Radio mission to helperect and operate the new missionary radio stat ion

soon to be erected at Pusan, Korea.Recent developements of interest on the part ofa number of Christ ian leaders assures that th e financial part of the project will soon be under way

to successNow we must have people to help us do the job.Some of the positions requirespecial training and experiencein radio, such as engineering and ^program production. Other jobs require special skills that are a-dapted to the work of a ChristianRadio Station. These include isecretarial workers, writers, various phases of evangelism and .church leadership such as a min-ister in this country would have. There is much teaching to be * ^1done, some of it to nationals on aBible college level and some on ^ ^the air to church groups Also a |teacher is needed to set up anElementary school for American

you announc ingchildren. the C R M andSome are needed at once, to Korean mission _sail this fall, such as a school teacher, some oneskilled in building to supervise the building of missionary homes and the radio s t a t ion buildings.Later, next year, engineers secretarial help, program writers and musicians and other help will beneeded

We have a basic staff already so the work can goforward- However the more worke rs and skills thegreater the number of hours we can have the Gospel on the air, and the more people who can be reached. If this is a job the Lord would have YOU do,write us.

5 0 CLUBSI get more excited about it every day is the

comment of Doug Dickey as he prepares the materials and provides assistance to those who are taking the responsibil ity for the 50 Clubs.As you know a 50 Club is a plan whereby fiftypeople in a church give 25 cents a week for thenext 20 months to put the new Christian RadioStation on the air in Korea. A total of only 100 ofthese clubs will make the station a reality, butmore important we will make the Gospel available

to millions in China, Japan andKorea who o the rwise will diewithout hope, , - Almost everyone who heard of

^ the possibilities of the Christian Radio Station for Korea thoughIt ought to be done and many be-

lieved that someway it would bedone. But now we have a simplepl^n where al l can actually havea part in doing this very importantAlmost any church can under-

take a 5 0 Club of 50 peoplegiving 25 cents a week for only20 months. And even the smallerbe a picture of churches or Bible classes can setT plans to join . 1 . c ic 1 il soon for the Up a 25 club of 25 people in-vesting 2? cents a week.

This is a small amount. But, for each five centsanother person will hear the Gospel. Each person,sending 25 cents a week will be sending the Gospel to five people every week. A church with a 50Club for the Christian Radio Mission is reaching250 people a month for Chr is t.

But we still need others to help. Some new clubshave been indicated since we announced this planl a s t month .Although the goal is in sight we still need moreto put it over for Christ, Remember men and womendie without the Gospel you can send.

Maybe this should be a picture ofyou announcing your plans to jointhe C.R.M. and sail soon for theKorean mission field.

LETTER FROM EXIEKobe, JapanMay 20, 1956

Dea re st B etty and Alex,When the day of Pentecost wasfully come I got up at 5:00 a.m.And suddenly there was the soundof the clatter of pots and pans anda rushing to and fro with broom,mop and dust cloth and the com

motion filled all the house wherewe live, for I had just learned bysofutatsu (special del ivery message) the night before that I wase nterta ining the General Managerof the Sumit omo Mutua l Life In*surance Co. and wife a t a 1:00o clock Sunday dinner, This isthe o rg ani zati on where I co nducta weekly Bible class).And there appeared to be notenough time to finish everythingbefore we left fo r church bu t working with one accord we managedto do m ost of it .

Then Tak ah as hi s an and I hurried off to church an d listened to r o t h e r Kawahara del iver a message on the birthda yof the church.After church I rushed back homebecause th e church is about anh ou r s t r a ve l t ime from h e r e butth e guests ar ri ve d b efor e d inne rwas ready. But I really believe agood t ime was had by all. Ithoroughly enjoy watching himand his wife t og et he r for t he y arecelebrating their silver anniversary this fall and I actually believethey are in love. Which is veryunusual in this land.)Si nce th ey had an oth er engagement t hey l ef t at 3:00 o clo ck andb e c a u s e I felt I had a cte d th epart of Martha long enough I decided to go to services at theEnglish Language Church andtry to be Mary for a while. Bes ides that T ak ah as hi s an wasurging me to get out of the houseso she could get an undisturbedafternoon nap.

After church services one ofthe very sweet girls from anothermission came up to me and said.

0h, Exie, we are so glad youcame t h i s afternoon b e c a u s e weare having a group of friends infor dinne r this evening but didn tknow just how to ge t in t ouc h withyou. *I was too full to be hungry andto o exausted to be s o c i a b l e so Ie xc us ed myself. I had fully d et ermined to withdraw completelyfrom society and spend the evening alone even though it mightmean being accused of promotingthe cult of the individual .When I got home, however, oneof the Japanese boys was hereand we discussed plans for a farewell party for N is hi ka wa san whowill be leaving for the states forschool at San Jose Bible Collegeon June 22. After he left I wentto bed until bedtime then got upand ate a little and d e c i d e d Ishould get this letter off to youto tell you about yesterday. Ihope you haven t forgotten thatit is proper to proceed backwardshere in Japan.)Yes terday I worked on Luxembourg Lessons all day long andwas only interrupted by two letters and three Japanese boys.Nishikawa was one of the boysand I put him to work helping me

with th e lessons bu t he isn t to ogood at reading English script.However, working together wemanaged to do two lessons in thetime it takes me to grade three.But what I really want to write a-bout ar e the let ters which camebefore the boys arrived.Velda s letter came in themorning and Betty s in the afternoon so V el da was really the firstto tell me the wonderful news ofthe p l e d g e s for the s t a t i o nThrilled a s I w as about all th emoney that was pledged whichwill make the station a reality, Ib el iev e the greatest thrill camefrom learning that it was God speopl e working t o g e t h e r thatbrought it about. I don t knowDoug Dickey but I ll be e te rnallygrateful to him and G. B. for allthey have done, also to al l thepreachers who are assuming responsibility as well as all whogive.

I am certain tha t countless otherswill be grateful too when theyknow their opportunity to hear ofsalvation ca me through this effort.I have not yet had a chance tote ll th e o th er m i ss ion ar ie s but Iknow they will rejoice with us.At our last missionary prayermeeting we had special prayerfor you folks, for the work, andfor the CRM meeting to be held atth e North American convention.But I had not expected so muchfrom one meeting or series ofthem.) How glad I am that HEis willing and able to do exceeding abundantly above all that wea s k o r th in kI m so thankful that Alex hasnever bee n swayed from his original purpose of a station. I knowother fruitful fields have beentempting when there seemed nothing but discouragement in thisonThe Lord bless you both in allyour efforts.

misleading to suggest that Acts 16:31 Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thoushalt be saved is al l that is Becessary for salvation. WHY?

FINITIONS1. WHAT IS FAITH? Christian faith is belid in the inspired tes timony of the New Testament writers . So then faithComethby hearing, and hearing by the word ofGod. Romans 10:17. In referenceto Christ it denotes a strong convictionthat Jesus isTHE CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD. Nowherein the Bible is i t stated or taught that one issaved by faithalone. James s tates, a man is justif ied, and NOT BY FAITH ONLY. Faith is not repentance nor is repentance faith.Faith lead* one to repentance.3. WHAT IS REPENTANCE? Repentance isthechange ofmind. In reference to Christ it denotes a oonsdousnessof,andsorrow forsin which leads to the refomutioQ oflife. Its absolute necesatyisdescribed inActs17-JOThe times of imorancethereforeGod overiooked;but nowHe conunandeth men that they shouldALL EVERYWHERE rq>ent Failure thento repent is to disobey the commandment of God.3. WHAT IS CONFESSION? Confession is the verbal aiSrmation before an audience that Jesus is THE CHRIST, THESON OF GOD. It is the only apostolic and divineconfesaon of faith that God has asked ofpenitent bdievcn.Jesussaid,Whosoevertherefore shall confcss me before men, him will I confess also before cny Father which is in heaven. Matt.10:32. Faith coupled with repentance l eads one to this amfesstonof faith.

The Gospel By Air To All Men Everyw/iere.


June 1956Dear FriendsNothing is more powerful among the Lord s people than the Lord s idea presented at the Lord sown time. And that is what the 50 Club plan seems to be. Basically i t is a simple plan whereall of the folks who have been wanting to have a part in getting the station on the air canhave a very important part but under circumstances that anyone can afford.The plan is more than just catching on. One man who pledged one club at the meeting in Louisville and intended to try to get his home church to undertake i t spoke at another church onhis way home from the convention and only mentioned the club and what i t could mean. Afterthe service he reports a number of the people came to him and said We want to do that.So, he told me, You can count on me fo r two clubs rather than one .Any Job for the Lord gets done only by the Lord s people getting in and doing i t . There is almost no limit what can be done if enough of us get together to do i t . Actually our goal is nota certain sum of money although we must have one hundred thousand dollars to get the stationunder way To have this we must have 100 clubs made up of 50 people each giving just twenty-five cents a week for the next 20 months But just that by itself is not our goal.We must recruit a number of additional helpers. We need engineers, program people musiciansa school teacher, a man to supervise our building, secretarial workers, Bible teachers and soon down a long l is t But this alone is not our goal.Our goal in all these things is the W MILLION people who are dying and going to hell without Christ when i t is possible for us to give them the Gospel which will redeem them for alleternity. This is really the reason why we must work together. Alone none of us could evenstart to reach so many But together we can do a job for the Lord a job of reaching2 000 000 souls with the Gospel of Christ. And this figure, as you know represents only thePusan area which is our first target. There are still other millions in other parts of Koreabehind the bamboo curtain in China and in the great islands of Japan.So is is no little matter, you who sire part of a club and give a quarter a week or you whotake the lead in setting up a club in your church or Bible Cleiss you are reaching a verysubstantial part of two million people for Chris t.We are anxious to hear from every one of you our friends, just as soon as possible concerningthe progress of getting the clubs under way

NO OO NEWS??Though comfortably seated on tatami Mr. Fujii appears quite disturbed at the news in hismorning Asahi Simbun. Another nuclear test? Such tests are disturbing indeed to every Japanese and all are worriedover the fall-outespecially from those in the Pacific. Wecan well understand thi s deep concern on their part and theanti-war feeling that has grown up from the Hiroshimaholocaust. Many ar e earnest ly searching for peace hopingto find it through organizations, treaties and compromiseswhile overlooking the good news that the Prince of Peacehas come, through whom everlasting peace may be found.The great stumblingblock stil l to th e unbelieving is the disunity among profess ing Chr is ti ans. Which way is th e way ?Which church is th e right one ? This question has a ri senmany t imes in our discussions in Kobe, where we have th emajority of foreign denominations represented plus somepeculiar to Japan. Added to these we have the temples ofth e var ious sects of Buddhism, the Shinto shr ines , theMoslem mosque and th e Jewish synagogue. I marve l wheneven one finds his way through this maze to th e way, thet ruth and the l ife.

ENTERING SAN JOSE BIBLE COLLEGEThis fall Shinpei Nish ikawa, one ofour Christian young men from Kobe will enter San Jose Bible College. Sincehis baptism into Christ a year ago he has been one of th e leaders of the churchat present serving as Bible School teacher for the Junior High Class andsupplying one Sunday each mon th at the worship service. Early this yearNishikawa san felt led of the Lord to change his plans fo r entering a University in Kobe and enter Bible College. His opportunity to study in Americahas been made possible through the scholarship granted him by the school andthrough the sacrificial efforts of his parents to provide funds to send him. I havehelped with th e necessary paper work. N ish ikawa san is neither a membernor representative of Christian Radio Mission bu t is going to the Sta te s onlyas a young Christian desirous of studying God s Word. When he sai ls on June22nd we rea li ze that th e church in Kobe w il l fe el th e loss of his leadership sincewe have so few Christians. We believe, however, that this is th e Lord s willand that after his training he ll be able to do greater things for God.

TkoGospel By Air To All Men Everywhere.


The CRM Story,This is a crisis age in vdiich we live. International Communism is a menace to the veryheart of our way of life. Hunger and famine creep across the world with more than halfof the human race hungry and starving at this very hour. Men and women are dying, morethan one a second, who have never heard the name of Christ and who will spend eternityin Hell, not because they would not believe, but simply because they have never heard.We did not tell them nd the daily newspapers and newscasts remind us that these arethe days Jesus said would have wars and rumors of wars.There is only one answer to all of these problems. That answer is the Gospel of our LordJesus Christ. But the question is as always, How can they believe on Him of whom theyhave not heard? This is where the unique twentieth century miracle of radio comes in .Christian radio broadcasting on the mission field is God's answer to the great challengesof th is day.

RAD IO HAS SPEEDThe Gospel on the air, by radio, travels at the speed of light which is equal to timesaround the world at the equator every second. Today there is no known spot on earth beyond the reach of radio. In this hour of great urgency, by Missionary Radio we send spiritual light on wings of physical l ight to the ends of the earth in a twinkle of an eye.RADIO PENETRATES THROUGH CLOSED DOORS

Many countries are closed to the ordinary kinds of missionary work. An Iron and a Bamboo curtain close off the great nation of China and many other parts of Asia and Europe.Aborder guard will stop a missionary in person and censorship will prevent the sendingin of the Bible and other Christian literature, but there is no border that can stop ar io beam.

But even in countries where missionaries can enter in person, there are still many people in the different social groups that cannot be reached by the ordinary methods ofmissionary work. For instance a high ranking government official or business leader inhis community can not stop on a street comer to hear a preacher. He probably won ttake a piece of l i terature or a tract , and i t would be too much of a loss of face fo rhim to attend a Bible class in a missionary s or a native pastor s home. But in theprivacy of his own home where the pagan priests cannot see or where fellow workers cannot accuse him of showing interes t in a foreign religion he can, and many do, l ist en eager ly to t he Chri st ian message.One such instance of which we know concerns a professor in a large university in Hok-kLido, Japan. One day he saw that there was going to be a Christian broadcast on th eradio early Sunday Morning. This was our Kore Via Inochi Nari (This Is Life) program in Japanese which we produce in Osaka, Japan f or r ele as e on various radio s ta t ionsin Japan. After listening for a few weeks we got a le t ter from this professor that wentSOTiething like this . . . At first I listened every week to your program because I hada curiosi ty about Chris tianity. I had heard of Chris tianity in the study of history andsuch. After a few weeks my curiosity was satisf ied, but now I continue to l is ten because I am personally interested. His i s one of the names turned over to the new missionary family going to Hokkaido.

Building a Christian Missionary Radio Broadcasting Station in Pusan, Korea

RADIO 15 mPRESSIVEThe Gospel of our Christ is the most important thing in a l l of th e world. But sometimeswe present i t on the foreign field in such a way that no one is much impressed. Andthis business of the proper dignity i s so much more important in th e Fa r East thanpeople here at home can imagine. Too o fte n the meeting place is a shack, th e tracts arepoorly written and printed and often the missionary is struggling with a very inadequate grasp of an extremely diff icult language. All this does not encourage the Orienta l to think our message too important.However on th e o th er hand when we put the Gospel on th e a ir i t is very impressive. can use the one or two very best speakers always native of the language) and a l l ou reffort is concentrated on one presentation. I t is impressive because i t is well done.The Gospel on the air places our message along side a ll the o ther important things inthe world so far as the Oriental home is concerned. The Emperor speaks by radio, thebest in music and drama i s received by radio, news of world importance comes by radio,so Gospel broadcasting puts t he gospel into the home in a very impress ive way along withthat which the person considers other important things .

RADIO PERIAITS REPETITIONThere is no quick way to convert a pagan to Christ . Where sin has held men in darknessfor centuries thei r minds are too darkened to immediately understand th e message ofChr i s t

Here in America hardly anyone becomes a Christian .the f irst time he hears the Gospel.This is even more so in a pagan land. Even th e very words of the language present problems. For instance, the work God. A person raised in an English speaking country understands something of the meaning of the word. God, in our culture, means one God, theCreator All Powerful and to most, God means Our Father ho Art In Heaven Whether a person believes al l this or not st i l l the Christian meaning is contained inour very language.But not so in Japan. There the word for God is kami. The same word also may meanpaper or hair. But evenwhen your prospect knows you are talking about diety theword s t i l l is not clear. He will want to know which one of the gods are they talkingabout. Is i t one of the great gods or one of the lesser gods? Are they talking aboutone of the bad gods most are evil) or about one of the few good gods? Is i t one of thegods so by divine nature or is i t one of the gods resulting from the soul of a manwho has died

You can see how the story has to be told over and over many times. Radio is the perfect medium fo r this purpose. He may only attend one meeting or read only one tract,but i f we are on the air every day i t is a simple matter to turn on the radio and hearthe same old message told over and over again every day until i t is understood.Our trouble in the past has been that we could only be on the air once a week becauseof the grea t expense but now when our own station goes on the air, the message will goout in the var ious languages for several hours every day.

RADIO PROVIDES HilDE COVERAGEOne of the tragedies of the mission field is that we do not have enough workers to evenstart to reach all the people around us. It is heart breaking to see a pagan funeraland know that here is a man or a woman going e te rnal ly t o hell , simply because we hadnever told them about Christ . And there are millions l ik e th is on every hand. Radiocertainly is part of the answer. In this way a l i t t le handful of workers can be inten thousand places a t once.

As a result of follow-up work to listeners letters Kobe one of the g reat cities of theworld has been opened to the New Testament message and a church is being planted there.The gospel on the ir reached out beyond the main island to Tsushima where a half millionpeople had never heard the Gospel. Now there are nine regular preaching points whichshould all grow into churches. By radio we reached into prisons and gave hope and a newl i fe to men removed far from the regular channels of missionary work. Fran one locationin Osaka we have made contact with people in every one of the provinces of Japan.So radio provides the widest coverage not only in terms of geography and miles but-interms of the masses of people whom otherwise we would never reach for Christ. Wesimply don t have enough workers. After all it is still true that faith ccmes byhearing . . . the Word of God. Radio will help millions to hear instead of just thefew hundred we could ever hope to reach in person.

OUR PAST ACTIVITIESThe Christian Radio Mission came into existance in 1947 Although denominational groupshad been using radio on the mission fields with great success since 1921 we were ttefirst to dedicate ourselves to use this powerful mediim to carry simple undenominational New Testament Christianity to the mission fields of the world, to first planswere to set up a missionary radio station in West China. But the communist victory inChina made that impossible. Then we heard that Japan would be granting permits to newconinercial radio stations. We went to Japan with the hope that the government wouldgive a station permit to us for a Christian Radio station. ITiis proved iupossible.But we did find opportunities to produce radio programs and release them on variouscornnercial s ta tions in Japan. Brother Harold Cole of Osaka Bible Seminary then in thestates on furlough raised the first money necessary to buy time on a large station inOsaka for the first series of programs. Later the Chaplains of the U S. Army in Hokkaido led by Brother Robert Scott raised funds to release the Japanese program there.In the meantime the short wave stations of DZAS in Manila asked us to produce programsfor them to release on the stations beamed toward Japan. We have also been asked toprovide a Japanese program for a Christian owned stat ion in Honolulu.

LUXEMBOURGAnother development was the request of Bro. and Sister Walter Coble of Garrett Indianato prepare an English language prograin for release on Radio Luxembourg in Europe. Inconnection with this we also agreed to handle the mail follow-up and to provide a correspondence Bib le cou rs e for the l i s tenersMartin Clark of Osaka Bible Seminary gave much of his time and ability to help withthe music as soloist and to serve as announcer on these productions. In the fall of1952 Exie Fultz joined us in Japan especially to help with this follow up work and theBible correspondence course. Since then besides this -work she has done many things including starting a new church in Kobe and directing all of the Japanese work whilewe re home in th e s t t e s

NOYf OUR OWN STATIONBut always while doing all of this work, the goal of the Christian Radio Mission hasbeen to have our own Christian radio station. Then instead of a few minutes once a weeka great expense, we can be on the air every day, with several hours of the Gospel inthe different languages of the Orient.The big problem through these years was to find a government willing to grant a permitfor a radio station located in a place that would provide really effective coverage.In the closing days of 1954 the government of the Republic of Korea granted us permission to put up and operate a Christian Radio station from Pusan Korea.
