ing journalism studies in London. He was ordained by the Association of Evangelical Churches of West Africa in 1963. The two CHALLENGE edi tions have a combined circulation of 150,000. International Missions, Inc., has an nounced that an unbelievable re sponse is coming from Muslims in Iran as a result of a special litera ture distribution effort and the first Gospel broadcast in the Persian lan guage. The co-operative literature distribution program with the “ Send the Light” group of young people has resulted in over 3,000 enrollees in the Bible correspondence courses with a 60% completion rate among those taking the earlier lessons, and an 80% completion rate among those continuing in the later lessons! An other 2,000 are enrolled as a result of the radio broadcasts once a week in Persian, which come in by short wave from Trans World Radio trans mitters in Monocco. Dr. R. Kenneth Straehan, general di rector of the Latin American Mis sion, because of illness, has been forced to request a limited health leave for one year, during which time he will devote himself to special writing projects and to a light teach ing schedule at Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, California. Dr. Horace L. Fenton, Jr., associate gen eral director, will assume Stratchan’s duties as general director for this period.

Ron Wilson, editor of Youth for Christ magazine, has been appointed as a fulltime missionary journalist to Lima, Peru. Mr. Wilson will train a national editor for the youth mag azine, Juventud Para Cristo, which Youth for Christ now publishes from its Lima office. The magazine is geared to youth with an evangelistic emphasis. It is not a translation of the North American Youth for Christ magazine. Articles are writ ten especially for the magazine, and eventually it will be a completely in digenous publication. Clarence W. Jones of The World Radio Missionary Fellowship, has been appointed Executive Director of the Committee of the Interna tional Christian Broadcasters. To meet the fast growing challenge for planned cooperative effort among evangelical broadcasters overseas, the ICB Committee thus fills a long standing need for greater structural strength in its service-agency pro gram that now touches all contin ents.
