People walk miles, often a whole day, to hear the G o spe l preached. A frica is alive— Kenya, Congo, Tangan yika and all of South Africa. These are golden days of op portunity for the dark contl nent. PTL workers are out in their sound trucks, preaching and giving out the Word of God They give away 30,000 Gospels a week — and still eager hands reach for more. Will Africa wake to G o d ? O r to civilized paganism? It is for you to decide. , Pray for us! Gifts may be ¿ A / sent to r x i ALFRED A. KUNZ, / W V t a.,AAA International A y Director ( A A A A / .

Probably the best planned, most prayed for evangelistic campaign in our nation’s history is the Billy Graham New York Crusade scheduled to open May 15 in Madison Square Garden. Scope of the Crusade can be measured to some extent by the following items. i t e m . More than 1,500 ministers in the greater New York area are co operating. i t e m . Some 4,500 people enrolled in the Counsellor Training program. i t e m . An enlarged staff of associate evangelists will join with Graham in meeting the need for scores of daily auxiliary meetings. These evangelists include Dr. Paul S. Rees of the First Covenant Church, Minneapolis and Howard Butt, layman evangelist from Corpus Christi. i t e m . Special pastors’ workshops are being headed by Dr. L. David Cowie of the University Presbyterian Church of Seattle, Dr. Robert Boyd Munger of First Presbyterian Church, Berkeley and three ministers from England and Scotland. i t e m . Extensive use of radio and tele vision will feature the New York Crusade to a degree that the Graham team has never known previously. Plans call for a night-time telecast over a local station to begin with the start of the Crusade and plans are underway for a once-a-week nation wide telecast direct from Madison Square Garden over one of the major TV networks to start around June 1. In Pasadena, the famous Phil Kerr Monday Musicals will start again on May 6 in the Civic Auditorium after an 18-month interruption. A firm hab it with many Southern California Christians, the Musicals ran for a steady 10 years usually to ' standing- room-only audiences. After a much needed rest Kerr is again ready to hold the Musicals as long as the de mand continues. Rumors have been making the rounds in Christian cir cles that Kerr has cancer. “ I can’t figure it out,” said Kerr in an inter view with T h e K in g ’ s B u s in e s s , “I guess a lot of folks just have a cancer- complex. Anyway I do not have can cer and I have never had it.” Even one well-meaning fan a fortnight ago wanted to pack him off to a so-called “ cancer cure” clinic.
