NEWS OF THE GOSPEL BROADCASTING MISSION

ISumber 155 December 1979

TIME IS RUNNING OUT!

Time is running out on the offer of a good friend of GBM to match every dollar given to this ministry between now and the first of the year. He will
qive a total of $15,000 - IF you, and other friends will qive together, another $15,000. THUS FAR, WE HAVE RECEIVED JUST OVER $10,000-ONLY $5,000 MORE TO GO TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS
CHALLENGE GIFT.

Many of you have given, and we are grateful. If you can help us reach the goal of $15,000, please send your gift today. Any amount will be appreciated and in fact will double in value to this ministry. The total of $30,000 will help us catch up all back radio time bills, and start the new year with the "slate clean" regarding our financial obligations.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT. It means so much - to us, to the

broadcasters who faithfully prepare hundreds of programs yearly, and to

those who hear of Christ via radio.

We hope to announce that the goal has been reached and the challenge met, in the next issue of LISTEN, in February.

People have more time to listen to radio, because in many of these foreign countries, television is reserved for the very rich. Many others cannot read, so Ihey depend upon radio for news, information, and through Christian radio - in
spiration.

Timely treatment of illness can lead to recovery, and timely advice can lead
to solution of thorny problems.

The comedian depends upon timing for laughter just as the politician seeks proper liming for speeches and pronouncements. God said, "There is a time for everylhing, and a season for every activity
under heaven." (Ecc. 3:1)

I personally sat in Poland in July, and heard our GBM-ponsored Polish language program from Monte Carlo. I also visited a nurriber of churches
located in various parts of that communist country, to preach, and saw First

2. The time Is right to take advantage of Broadcast opportunities which

are. now greater than ever before. Some of the large Christian broadcasting stations have increased their ability and power to reach out with strong radio signals. We purchase lime from these stations, and enable our missionaries and allied Christian workers on foreign fields, to increase their outreach by radio. More missionaries are realizing the value of radio broadcasting to their mis

And Ihere are a number of important reasons: 1. The time is right to reach more people in more places around the world
with Radio Broadcasts.

There are more radios available to people in more places than ever before, and at reasonable prices. China and Japan are flooding the world markets with

Several long-time missionaries have told me radio is the only way to reach the millions of people in the country they serve, Seme of these countries may one day be closed to missionaries, but they cannot close the door on radio signals which carry the message of Jesus. 3. The time Is right to encourage the use of Radio because it effectively

Take China for example. The attitude o( China is changing toward religion. Gary Anderson, missionary to Hong Kong, recently told me that China no longer persecutes the Church. They have an official policy of tolerance on religion. The Bible is no longer being repressed either. In fact, the Chinese government is now sponsoring a newly revised "union" translation of the Bible. Bob Bowman. President of Far East Broadcasting Company (many of our programs aie placed on FEBC stations) attributes the changing attitudes in China to two things: "What we're seeing now is the result of generations of work by faithful mis sionaries and nee^ly 30 years of seed planting by gospel broadcasts...we must continue to take maximum advantage of this present, critical moment to reach men and women on the Chinese Mainland with the gospel of Jesus Christ." GBM is currently developing Chinese language broadcasts which, Lord will ing. will be aired during 1980. into China and Taiwan. There are a number of other programs also being planned. * Radio is not intended to take the place of missionaries. But. when there arc not enough missionaries to go around, or enough mission dollars to finance world evangelizing, then radio helps spread the Word. And it is effective! Therefore, the time Is right for you to give your best gift to help the work of GBM. If you've been thinking, waiting, holding back - NOW IS THE TIME. Timing is important- Your gift, given today, will never be more important to the continued growth and success of Gospel Broadcasting Mission.

YOU CAN

DOUBLE

YOUR DOLLARS

WHEN GIVING TO GBM

A good friend of Gospel Broadcasting Mission has pledged that he will match every dollar given to the ministry of GBM betv^een now and the end of the year. He will give up to a total of $15,000 IF all our other friends and
supporters will give together a like amount.
THIS MEANS WE CAN REALIZE A TOTAL OF $30,000 FOR
THE WORLD-WIDE MINISTRY OF GBM IN THE NEXT TWO
MONTHS!!!

Believe me, we need the full amount, too. Since June our gift income has been about '/2 the amount needed to keep the ministry on track, reaching the

world for Christ by radio. We're running well behind last year's income, yet,
we have more broadcasts and more expenses this year.

While we don't want to take unfair advantage of our Christian friend, we do want to take full advantage of his kind offer. I think it would be poor Christian stewardship if we didn't.

His reason for giving this challenge-type gift is because he knows we need the full $30,000 to catch up pressing past-due radio bills, and to meet our present obligations. He also wants to encourage others to share their very best gift NOW, while it is really needed.
PLEASE HELP CIS match this offer, and receive the full amount! Every

dollar you give over the next eight or nine weeks will double in its value to
Gospel Broadcasting Mission.

And in this day, it's not often we have a chance to double the value of the
missionary dollar.

We'll be looking for your gift to help with this special effort to double our
dollars for GBM.

A PICTURE IS WORT

History Of The Work In Poland

by Jerzy Saceivicz
The first man to pioneer and share the Church of Christ message in Poland was Bro. Jaroshevich. He was converted to Christ while in the United States in 1911. In 1916, he graduated from Johnson Bible College, Kimberlln Heights, Ten nessee, and received a Master of Arts degree. In 1921, he
returned to Poland from the United States.

The second pioneer of the work in Poland was Bro.

Bukovich. He was converted to Christ in 1916 in the United

States, and he came back to Poland in 1921. He graduated from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. The third pioneer in the Church of Christ in Poland is myself. Jerzy Sacewicz. 1was converted in 1919 in Russia, in the city of Kaluga near Moscow. In 1920, I was baptized into Christ by an Evangelical Christian pastor.
In 1921, 1 came to Poland from Russia.

So, there were three men involved at the beginning. Two

returned from the United States, and one from Russia, and

together we organized a Mission Center in Kobryn, now in

Russia. Before the war this district was in Poland.

Seven persons, myself, Dr. Jaroshevich, Bro. Bukovich, Bro. Gregory Bajko (father of Paul Bajko), Pauveluh, Bro. Vladisouk,
a White Russian minister, and Bro. Mikon Jakoniuk, established
the first Churches of Christ in Poland.

Dr. Jarosevich is alive, living in the United States on the east coast. In the first seven years, 1921-1928, thirty congregations
were organized.
Before the war there were a total of 85 Church of Christ. At

WAG 4575

the present time, I estimate there are at least 70 churches in Russia in the section that was Poland. They meet in Russia under the name the Union of Evangelical Baptists And Chris
tians.

The Polish Fial is produced in Poland, and cosls about one year's salary. After paying lor the car. it may take up lo five years lor delivery.

Fifteen of those original churches are still in Poland, plus ten more for a total of 25 registered churches in Poland, and 70 churches in the Soviet Union in the area previously belonging to
Poland.

I am to visit the churches in the Soviet Union. Two years ago I visited eleven churches in the Ukrain. I speak the Russian language. 1 was visiting in Russia, and there is a very good broadcasting work in the Russian language. Every day, from
somewhere in the world, the radio broadcasts the Word into

Russia, and everywhere, people are listening. It is a very good

work."

NOTE: QBM currently sponsors the Polish language programs prepared and produced by Paul Bajko, George Bajenski, and Boleslaw Winnik, and the Russian language programs prepared by John Huk and Charles Branum. In addition to the 25 registered churches in Poland there are many preaching points and mission stations where new churches are being formed. Please pray for Christians behind the Iron Curtain.

Church of Christ was. I told him I didn't know, but a man here in

the store could tell him. We went on our way, and the next day
we went to Church.

"During the morning services, Mr. & Mrs. Coble (founders of GBM) were asked to tell their story. This was the man we had helped find the Church the night before. They told of their work of broadcasting the Word around the world. "When tt e services were over and the story had been told and the needs brought to our minds, 1went to the front of the church and talked to Mrs. Coble.

A True Story From Poland

by A Friend in Poland

"One time we went to a village where we could not reach by car or horse and buggy. We had to walk. Those people had writ
ten and asked us for Bibles and other Christian literature, and

we wanted to go and see them and to testify to them. "It was a time when people were in the field, and all day we were waiting at their door for them to come so we could deliver what we brought. "After they came, we greeted them and asked if they listened gladly to the broadcast, and do others listen too? "Instead of answering us, they brought out an old tape recorder. They pressed the button and showed us how they take turns. When the broadcast is on and everybody is in the field working, one person stays home and when the program comes on, he records it so that after they come home, they can all
listen to it too.

Mr. Waller Coble together with his lale wife. Mainic. started CBM in 1952. He will soon lye 90 years nl age. and retired Irom GBM in 1966.

"They have told that their family is very musical, in that fami ly, they make instruments themselves and the people invite them to play at the weddings. And they said when they started to listen to the programs they came to understand that God re quires something else and their lives have changed-completely. "They used their instruments to play songs to the glory of God. They refused the invitations to play at the weddings, in spite of the fact that it was bringing them a very good income-it was almost their entire living.

If you would help with a special gift to Gospel Broad casting Mission, it would be so helpful, and would enable us to stay current with our obligations. Thank you.

And, so we went to ask them what was causing them to ask for the song books as well as the Bibles. Then, we heard the whole story of how they started lo listen to the radio broadcast. We found out that the man of the house was sick for eight years. He had a cancer and was told by the doctor that it
was stomach cancer. That caused him lo make a decision to commit suicide. Because he had a wife and two children al home, he didn't want them lo hear the sounds of his

suicide act, so he turned the radio on. And it happened that before he turned the radio on. some of

his children, or somebody, was playing with the radio and tuned in the setting for programs from Radio Monle Carlo. As he just turned the radio on. he heard the message of God's Word from Monte Carlo. It was our Polish language program sponsored by Gospel Broadcasting Mission. He being a Roman Catholic, for the first lime in his life fell upon his face and talked lo God. Not just saying the learned prayers, but he talked likea child talks to his father. And, he accepted that this voice was a voice from heaven, and he didn't take his life in suicide. From this time on. every night he is listening, with his family, lo the Gospel message from Monle Carlo, Soon, his neighbors started lo come lo him, and together with him, listen lo those broadcasts. Because this man was well liked in his village, many people were listening together with his family
and do it even now.

not move to Warsaw, the capital city for example, without per mission of the government because of housing shortages. There are foreign currency stores that carry American-made goods that are not available in local department stores. These special stores will not accept Polish ziotys in payment, only dollars or deutshce marks. A taxi-driver offered me an apart

While citizens can travel about their own country with relative ease, travel outside of Poland is extremely difficult. Sometimes it takes years to obtain official permission to travel outside the country, but more often than not that permission is denied.

I was surprised at the measure of limited religious freedom in this officially Communist country. As it turns out, only 2% of
the 35 million Poles are Communist, while at least 90% are

Roman Catholic. It's no wonder the Roman Pope, Polish by birth, received such a tumultuous welcome during his recent visit to his homeland. The measure of religious freedom is un doubtedly directly related to the large Catholic majority. Mevertheless, it gives our brothers in Christ limited freedom to worship in churches and homes scattered throughout Poland. I visited at least fifteen small congregations, most of which were recog

Our work must continue! It must grow and increase! How else can we reach so many with such a modest investment? Through radio, we use an instrument they already have in their homes to preach the truth contained in God's Word. There's hope for the future in Poland, in spite of the personal sacrifice and suffering of the people. The hope for Poland does not come from the empty Communist philosophy or doctrine. It

does not come from the Russian oppressors that are bleeding

from their beautiful country-side, or the farms and gardens the

Preaching Christ In Chinese

We have a message to share with the Chinese-speaking people of the world. Mow is the time to preach the Good News of Jesus in every dialect. Many believe the door to China is open as never
before.

The Chinese language, a practical and flexible linguistic tool, is used by more people than any other. About 800,000,000 people speak Chinese or a closely related tongue such as Thai, Lao, Annamese or some other variant. This is about three times the total for

English, which ranks second in number of native speakers. Written Chinese also has spread far beyond national borders. Both Korea and Japan borrowed it as a model when they found it necessary to have written records. To the west and southwest, several tribes developed writing based on the same principles and style.

oon

Spoken Chinese shows many evidences of the gradual changes inevitable in a living language. One such change is the development of the many regional dialects. Although they all come from common root, some regional dialects are so different as to be incomprehensi ble to a person not from the same region. Along the coastline of China, for example, there are seven major dialects and many minor variations. The seven are Cantonese, Hakka, Amoy, Foochow, Wenchow, Shanghai and Mandarin. Mo one knows which dialect was spoken first, but historians think Can
tonese is probably the oldest. Mandarin is recognized as the official dialect of modern China. It

is taught in schools and used for offical purposes. Fewer people are using their provincial dialects at home, because the younger genera tion prefers Mandarin. Gospel Broadcasting Mission, working together with missionaries in Taiwan, is in the process of encouraging the development of a series of Mandarin radio programs for use both in Taiwan and mainland China. Thus far, thirteen programs have been completed and are ready for use. Chuck Johnston, who lives and ministers in Taipei, has been working diligently to prepare the scripts, supervise
the translation, and produce the broadcasts in a radio studio in Taipei. Because of the press of his work, he has not been able to complete the series. Our goal is to see these programs completed and recorded by the end of this year, with broadcasting to start as
soon as the series is finished.

Deuelopment of written language is seen in characters for sun. moon, and uehicle. Variations developed from left to right from
upper row.

At the same time, GBM is exploring a possible new broadcast featuring a Chinese-speaking doctor who was recently baptized. We don't know just when this new program will develop, or be produced. But our goal is that this broadcast will become a reality, and will be aired into mainland China by the end of this year, and that it will be heard at least three times weekly in the Mandarin tongue. Please pray with us that both of these Chinese language programs will become a reality, and will be on the air as quickly as possible. If you would like to have a sample program in Chinese, one of the thir teen ready for broadcasting, write for a free cassette. We'll be happy
to send it.

Now Is The Time To Reach S.E. Asia!

Gospel Broadcasting Mission is involved in preaching the
message of Jesus into the nations of S.E. Asia. Laverne Morse writes: "Ever since 1968, GBM has worked closely with S.E.A.E.M. by raising funds for the air-time costs for the tribal broadcasts...The Gospel radio broadcasts in the Lisu and Rawang languages have been a tremendous tool for strengthening tens of thousands of Christians in Burma (and Thailand). Begun in 1968 with very primitive programs, per sonnel, and procedures, the broadcasts have expanded. Recently, one of the key evangelists of the S.E. Asia Mission

based in the Burmese capital city of Rangoon wrote that the Christians there deeply appreciate and regularly listen to these
broadcasts."

Other broadcasts sponsored by GBM in this strategic area of the world include a weekly Korean-language program that reaches into both North and South Korea...and the daily Kukilanguage program reaching into the N.E. section of India
bordering Burma.

message of Christ. Wm. Kerr recently visited China and wrote: "Opportunities do exist for extending the gospel in China, even today. Radio is one means of reaching people there. Almost every home has a radio. There is no law against listen ing to foreign broadcasts, apparently, although there is tremendous peer pressure against such alien influences, and the Chinese fear the criticism of neighbors who might overhear
the broadcasts."

In cooperation with missionaries in Taiwan, we are seeking to develop a Chinese-language program series for broad casting into mainland China as well as Taiwan. Coupled with the programs will be the Bible-Correspondence Course prov ing so successful today in Taiwan. At least thirteen radio pro grams are completed, with more planned.
MOW is the time to reach into all of S.E. Asia, and Chris

tians have never had a better opportunity than today. An authority on Communism writing in U.S. Mews & World
Report said: "The war between Communist China and Com
munist Vietnam marks the end of the road for Communist

ideology. One by one. Communist ideological tenets and pro mises have gone down the drain." Please pray for these broadcasts and opportunities in this crucial area of the world. The struggle between the forces of good and evil have never been greater than today in S.E. Asia!

of languages. Working with veteran missionaries Dolly Chitwood and Leah Moshier, a daily Hindi-language program is to

be developed using several young men as speakers from the Kulpahar Church of Christ Mission, and featuring young people in the Kulpahar Kids Home and School, for music and drama. The Hindi language is spoken by at least 38% of the entire population of India this amounts to more than 230 million people...a second daily broadcast in Hindi is being planned working in cooperation with Dr. V.J.

tian Mission based in Damoah...and still another daily program

is planned in the Khasi language with Phillip and Margaret Ho. They work with Christians living in the city of Shillong and the surrounding area...These new programs will greatly increase our budget, and will require an increase in income if we are to accept these new opportunities to be involved with preaching the Word to the world. As is our practice, GBM does not pay the broadcasters or program personnel heard on the air. We do provide for the cost of air time only and on occasion, some funds for production expense. However, these established mis sions have all indicated their willingness to meet the production costs, limiting our responsibility to the cost of air time which, in itself, is considerable...GBM Director, Bill McClure. plans to spend almost a week in each of these places (Kulpahar, Damoah, Shillong) this summer to help get these programs underway, and to work closely with the missionaries and pro gram personnel, He will also travel to Korea, the Philippines,
and Poland to meet with broadcasters and radio stations. In

My concept of a mission is something that is done outside of the local congregation that promotes world wide evangelism (bringing people into Christ). In observing mission reports from various congregations I have noticed that many congregations are giving to no work outside of the U.S. Can this be fulfilling the command of Jesus?

let's be honest. It is really not a mission. I am pleased that this congregation has never given less than 10% of its income to missions since our beginning: and now we
give over 15%. I believe God has blessed us because of this. I also believe we could do much more if we really wanted to."

RUSSIA GBM is now sponsoring a Russian-language broad
cast (see station log on pg. 1) heard twice each Tuesday in Eastern Russia. The programs are broadcast over KTWR. the newest short-wave transmitters operated by Trans World Radio from Guam. According to TWR reports, more than one billion people living in Mainland China. Eastern Russia and Southeast Asia are served from this transmitter. Our program is aimed at the millions of Russian-speaking people in the Eastern half of
Russia.

Russian is the official language of the Soviet Union. About 60% of their citizens consider it their major language, while it
serves as a second language to the rest. According to statistics compiled by CBS News, there are more than I 16.100,000 radio receivers throughout Russia - the world's largest country. The goal of GBM, as the Lord provides, is to air the message of Jesus on as many of these radio receivers as possible. These first two programs are just a start. We trust God will challenge many friends to make funds available for many more programs
each week.

Memorial Gift Program

Sometimes, when a respected friend or loved one dies, you long for a way to properly honor their memory. Flowers are nice, but they wither and fade all too soon. Perhaps there is something more lasting and meaningful. GBM announces a Memorial Gift Program to help you honor the memory of that friend or family member and advance the preaching of the Gospel at the same time. When you fill in the coupon on this page, and mail it together with your memorial gift, GBM will send the family a beautiful card listing your name as the thoughtful contributor (no amount mentioned) in memory of the one who died. The gift you send will be used to help support one of the GBM sponsored radio programs that preach the Gospel in many foreign languages overseas. You, too, will receive a card with your receipt. And your name, and the name of the person memorialized by your gift, will be printed in LISTEN (no amount
mentioned).

Producers of the programs are Charles Branum, John Huk, George Repetski, and Wray Graham of Missionary Radio
Ministries in Toronto. Thus far. contributions for the new Rus

sian programs have been received from students attending Ozark Bible College. Joplin, Mo.; Iowa Christian College, Des Moines, la.; and Minnesota Bible College, Rochester. Mn. According to a recent study undertaken by Freedom House, an American based group that monitors human rights around the world, only one person in three in our world lives in freedom, Or. to put it in other terms, two-thirds of all people on earth to day live without the basic human rights and freedoms we take for granted in our country. An author in The Christian Reader said. "There is more torture, violence, and oppression today -and more refugees than in any other period in history. The violations of human rights and oppression due to racial tensions, religious differences, ideological conflicts, and the unleashed power of barbarous dictators are increasing rather than decreas ing." The people of the Soviet Union are not free. But, through programs on radio they have a chance to know of the true freedom available through Christ. Radio reaches behind Iron Curtains, and proclaims life and liberty in Jesus. ITALY Charles Phipps. long-time missionary/broadcaster in Terracina, Italy, broadcasts each week over Radio Montecarlo into English-speaking sections of Europe. Recently he wrote to advise of a change in the format for the program sponsored through GBM. He is changing the broadcast from its more tradi tional format to a newer concept.
