A MISSIONARY conference is a tonic for any church. There is nothing better to stimulate both the spiritual and the material sides of Christian life. Many instances are related of dying churches being rejuvenated by a virile program of missionary inter est and endeavor, It is amazing what just an average church, when challenged, can do along the line of missionary giving. Two such churches In Southern California, with only about 250 membership each, give from $12,000 to $15,000 annually to missions. The secret seems to be a continuous emphasis on the need of the world. Many Mission Boards are feeling that they must seize the opportunity of Gospel broadcasting via their own radio stations. Latest appeal for prayer which has crossed our desk is from the Latin American Mission by new Director Kenneth Strachan, who hopes to establish such a station in Costa Rica, f A great new field in religious radio is being offered in new frequency modulation. Many reliable radio thinkers believe that seventy- five per cent of listeners will possess F-M receivers within three years. It Is to be sincerely hoped that the “re ligious group” of broadcasters will not fail to take advantage of this new opportunity, jj Radio surveys continue to speak emphatically of the prefer ence on the part of listeners, both ur ban and rural, for good religious pro grams over mapy other types of broad casting. These surveys are being cur rently laid before the Federal Radio Commission, and will, no doubt, have a beneficial effect on the local accept ability of religious programs. > An old-timer in Gospel broadcasting in Southern California is .“First Mate Bob,” whose program reaches every nook and corner along the Pacific Coast, and by short wave to very dis tant areas. His complaint of many religious broadcasts is that there is little or no preparation, little or no production, little or no discernment of public interest, and the result is that there are few or no listeners. In dications point to a continued high pitch of interest in school attendance. Biola prospects for 1946-47 are that a record number desire to enroll, ff Timothy Pietsch, Japan-bound mis sionary, says that the present day of fers the greatest challenge in a mil lennium for evangelism in Japan, ff Many religious organizations (other than evangelical) are mightily be stirring themselves in an effort to ad vance their work. Some evangelical bodies, too, are really awake to pres ent unprecedented opportunities, be fore Christ returns.
