130 MILLION RADIOSAn estimated 130,498,400 radioreceivers are in use in count r i e sthroughout the world eKcluding theUnited States and Canada, according to a survey made by Office ofResearch and Intelligence, U. S.Information Agency^This f igure represents an increase of about 20 per cen t in thelast three years. In the Far Eas tthere has been an increase of 14percent in the number of radioswithin the l as t eleven months . Forthe missionary broadcaster thismeans that many millions morethan ever before are within rangeof the Gospel by air. Most of thisin cre ase h as been in a reas normally considered under developed.These are the areas we thought ofas mission fields. But many of thea reas w her e ra dio has now comeare very inaccessible to any othertype of missionary work.

In areas that are within range ofthe new station going up in Pusan,Korea, the f igures are as follows:China, 2,500,000; Hong Kong,159,000; Japan, 14,322,700; NorthKorea, 100,000; Republic of Korea,279,000; Free China, 191,400. Inmany places up to 20 people (ormore) listen regularly to one radios t

In th e United Sta tes where television is becoming increasingly_common, some may be inclined tothink that radio is less important.\Phatever may be the U. S. situation, in most of the rest of theworld radio broadcast ing is justcoming into it s own. By actingwith decision missionaries mayst i l l be able to uti l ize one of themost pov/erful mediums of communication while ir is just enteringit s .nost effective stage of development

It muse be remembered that thereare many voices making use ofradio. The Chris t ian voice in i scompetition with anti-God propo-ganda of some great nations and

also in contrast with the strictlymaterial is t ic non-Christian voiceof many of the so-called free nations, including our own. No oneelse will give the Gospel to theworld. e of the Church of JesusChr i s t must rise up now whilethere is yet time.* * * * *

CHRISTIAN RADIO MISSIONAMERICAN ADDRESS: 804 MISSISSIPPI, AMARILLO, TEXAS

K I MOne of the most important people in any missionaryac tivity is the national worker who interprets the missionary to the people and in turn interpre ts the people tothe missionary. Mr Kim Hong Kyun is such a per son . Heha s been w or ki ng w it h th e Christian Radio Mission forabout a year. He comes from a farm village not too farfrom Pusan and wa s introduced to us by hi s Englishteacher from th e nearby TongAh University.

Mr . K im has handled th edi f f icu l t negotiations in-volved in th e land purchase.When a missionary ha s ac l a s s to teach or a sermonto preach it falls his lo t totranslate it into Korean for vthe speaker. His is also the iAtflVresponsibility of seeing that ^ ^missionaries ar e registered in th e dozen or more agen- .cies and that important rereg- fis t rat ion da tes are n o t overlooked. Then numerous tripsmust be made to other agen-cies to ge t rations for gas-oline a nd fo r oil to heat th e house. [:

MISSIONARY RADIO DAYJune 15 is being designated in a

number of churches as MissionaryRadio Day. The various missionaryradio pro jec t s in all parts of theworld have united together in askingtheir supporting churches to se t a-sidethis day for prayerfor radio work.The Christian Radio Mission is happyto have a part in this fellowship.

We would like to encourage al l ofour friends to make June 15 a specialday for prayer for Christian RadioMiss ion We wil l have some mater ia l savailable such as bulletins and program helps if your church would liketo share with us In this day.

Missionary radio in a special wayneeds the prayers of God s people.By radio the Word of God is broadcast to a multitude of people. If it issufficiently backed by prayer it willpenetrate deep into their hearts andminds . It is indeed a spiritual warfare and prayer is our greatest weapon. Of course, we need prayer everyday. But we invite all our support ingchurches to join in thi s spec ia l day.Let us hear from you very soon.

FIRST IMPRESSIONSby the Seggeikes

As missionaries new on th e field,we not ice things which ar e commonplace to others. Let us share withyou in some of the interesting sightsof the f ir st few days.

Our first glimpse of Pusan fromthe ship was a dull one because theday was cloudy and the buildingshave black roofs, unpainted sides,

and no grass in the yards . In fact,most houses have no yards , jus t awall to keep out thieves. All thisgloom was removed, however , by thewarm welcome of the Bills familyand Flora Maye as they greeted us onboard ship . The Koreans also extended a warm welcome a s we cameashore at th e cus toms h ou se . T hesun came out a few days l at er andKorea began to take on color for us.

Ou r first real shock came whenAlex began bargaining with theporters such violence we thought just the normal procedure we learnedl a t er

We find th e Ko r e a n s are veryfriendly. They are all interested inAmericans . Many of them speakEnglish and they are anxious in seeing if we can understand them.

As we traveled down th e street inthe CRM jeep we notice how everyauto seems like an intruder midstthe masses of people. Most of the

rKorean girl carrying water along thes t ree t in front of the Bills home inFusan, Everyone works in Korea. Smallchildren know only hard work and littlejoy. They are the future of Korea. If theGospel reaches them that will be abright future.

autos are old ones, rebuilt time andtime again in an effort to keep themrunning.The marketplace is like nothingelse in the world Most anything canbe found there if you are willing tospend the time looking for it and topay the price when you do.

There is a primitiveness aboutKorea that surprised us. Many ofthese people would look natural onan mer i c an Indian reservation.They seem to be willing to progress,but so seriously hampered by lack ofresour esOur rented house is a real joy tous now that we have made it into ahome with our own things. Above allelse we have found here what wehopedfor most of all a people needing the Gospel and an opportunityto t ak e it to them. Thanks to all ofyou for making this possible throughyour prayers and gifts.

Vihy I Am Choosing the Radio Minisiryby Tokaki Kowahara

Down in the country on th e islandof Kyushu where I grew up, one cansee many Buddist temples bu t aChristian church building very, veryseldom. Lacking opportunity to hearI grew to young manhood withoutknowing of Jesus. When I graduatedfrom high schoo l I st ar ted workingfor an agricultural corporation and itwas while here t h a t a friend took meto a ko teshuka i (co t tage meeting)conducted by Mrs. Isabel Dittemore.At this meeting I heard of the Saviour an d went back to learn more.Since becoming a C h r i s t i a n mythoughts have been for these countrypeople many of whom do not have andmay never have t he chance, a s I didto hear of Jesus.

As a new Christian I listened regularly to the CRM program, This isLife. It was a source of great encouragement for weekly church meeting seemed not enough to sat is fy myhunger of Spirit.When I entered Osaka Bible Semin

ary to s tudy I had no thought of radioministry, but later as I learned of it spossibilities I wished that I too mightpreach the gospel through the air. Ir liz th e limitations of rad io inthat you do not have person al contact with the one you are trying towin, but people cannot be won if theydo no t hear, and how else ca n al l th epeople in remote areas be told? Ofour 90,000,000 (approximate) peoplein Japan 99.5 make no profess ionof belief in Jesus. This fact and thefact that most of these can be reached by radio, make broadcasting asignificant work. As a student I havebeen able to help some in the radiowork, now comes the opportunity to

Kawahara, Tahaki, pastor of t he churchin Kobe and recently operator of equipment a t th e C h r i s t i a n Radio MissionStudio in Osaka, Japan.make it my field of labor as operator-engineer of Christian Radio MissionofJapan. This position I haveaccepted for I believe God has provided forme a work in which I can help spreadthe gospel to every Japanese whodoes not yet know that Jesus Christi s our S a v i o u r

Note by Exie Fultz:Bro. Kawahara will be added to

the staff of Christian RatJioMissionof Japan upon his graduation fromOBS this March We have known himas a part-time helper in radio and asminister of the church in Kobe Japan, and have been impressed withhis Christian character. Ingoing overthe events of his Christian life theother day, we l e a r n e d that in theear ly days in order for him to attenda koteshukai (cottage meeting) itwas n e c e s s a r y for him to walk 5miles each way. Getting to church onSundays was a little more difficulta s it was 9 miles from where he l ived.Starting Saturday evening he walkedto the church for a Bible class, sleptin the building, attended Sunday morning worsh ip services and then t ookhis 9 miles jaunt back home. Hisactions today still manifest the samedeterminat ion to be ab ou t t h e L o r d sbusiness regardless of obstacles.

THE KEY - by Bob ClemensWebster's dictionary defines a keyas that which affords or preventsentrance or possession. Many of usno doubt fail to realize the importantrole that keys play in our lives. Nowon my key ring I have a key to a. toolbox, this key gives me access to thetools I sometimes need to use; I havetwo keys to the house I rent, thesekeys admit me to the warmth and comfort of the home; I have a car keywhich l i t e r a l l y opens the door tomany miles of transportation andtravel. Everything seems to dependupon that small piece of metal calleda key. I think this point is expressedwell by a joke, I guess you could^^^1 ^t, that was Oont/nu^c/ poge

in circulation a few years back. It went something like this,We l l give you the car, but the keys will cost you 2,000.It's an odd thing but money is a key, a master key you mightsay, for money bought the tools and tool box, it pays the rent,it purchased the keys for th^ car. Yes, money is a master keythat can open the door to many things homes, cars, clothes,entertainment, vacations, adventure; but it can help open th edoor to things of much more value and beauty than those. It can,to the people in the Orient, swing wide the door to Jesus Christ.Christians, vou have the key. How will you u se it?IDOL WRSHIP

by V. A/ex BillsMany of you who listen to this program possibly know

that I am a missionary in Japan and Korea and the othermembers of the staff who produce this program are alsomissionaries in Asia. We live in t he mid st of idol worship. It never ceases to be a source of surprise to see awell dressed, well educated young man, perhaps educatedin some Western university, drive by in the latest modelAmerican or European car and come to a stop before amagnificent building and then see him get out and bowand pray before an idol of mud or stone. Western civilization ha s made such tremendous inroads into Asia tha t th enational d re ss is often more rare on th e streets of Asiancities than Western styles. American and European ladieson the mission field (this I have overheard) must be cons tant ly alert or the native ladies will be dressed in morerecent Western styles than they. Scientific laboratories,modern hospitals, engineering feats, and modern education all characterize Asian countries today. There ishardly a town so small but that someone speaks theEnglish language to some degree.But still the gods they know are those of wood andstone. Thi s is not to say that Christianity has not madegreat progress. There are many thousands of outstandingChristians. Bu t men have not been able to find out aboutGod by themselves. I Corinthians 8 deals with the problemofidol worship. The specific problem of eating meatthat has been offered to idols is not our particular problem. But it remains true today even as in Paul's day.(I Corinthians 8:5) For though there be that are calledgods, whether in heaven or in earth, as there be godsmany, and lords many.) Paul expresses the Christian understanding of this problem in I Corinthians 8:4b. Weknow than an idol is nothing in the world, and that thereis none other God but one. It is a reasonable questionto ask how Paul knew this very important fact. All duringrecorded history, I think one could truthfully say that themajority of the human race has worshipped many gods.Paul lived in a day when Roman andGreek mythology hadassorted deities of every kind and for every locality. Yetwe say that we Christians know thatthereis but oneGod.Paul was not wiser than other men. He was well educated,but not better educated than some other men. Yet he knewa fact that ha s eluded some of the wisest men of history.This opens to us the thought, How can man know aboutGod? It is rather c lear that by his own searching he cannever really find God. ButGod has revealed Himself and

the Bible is a record of that revelation. In discussingthis matter with Orien t a l s we often point out that thegreat Indian myst ic and religious leader, Buddah, was agreat and good man. And thatthe great Chinese Confuciuswas one of the world's wisest men. Their whole teachingis that which they could find out about God. They are asa hand groping up toward heaven. They mark the highpoint in man's search for God.

On t he o ther hand, in t he B ib le we have th e revelationof God reaching down from heaven to man's level and revealing Himself. It is true that the Bib le does not revealeverything about God, but such things as God wanted usto know about Himsel f, He has revealed. So Christianitydoes not depend on roan s system or judgment, but it isGod ' s revelation of H is w il l.

This knowledge places a special responsibility on us,becau se t he world gropes in darkness and Chr is t i s th elight of the world. But men cannot believe in Him whomthey do not know and they cannot know unless someonetells them. All the world can be told only when everyChristian faces up to his responsibil ity. It is a soberingfact for us to recal l that we are the products of foreignmissionaries. It was Asian people who came to Europewith the Gospel . Our European ancestors were a prettysor ry lot when Christianity came to them. Our great advances in science, industry, education, and even militarymight are by-products of what Christianity has done for acon t inen t

I suppose there is very little danger of any who hearthis program bowing before idols of stone, but there is adanger of making things other than the l iving God theLord and Master of our life. Our very civilization hasbrought this danger. Our education, our wealth, becomemasters of our lives rather than servants. We forget thatwe must serve the l iving God and that anything or anyonetha t comes between us and Him t here fo re becomes an idol .

Paul lays down the principle (I Corinthians 8:6) thatnot only must we have knowledge of God, but that we bepersonally involved. We read, But to us there is but oneGod, the Father, of whom a re a ll t hi ng s, and we in him;and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, andwe by hirio. Religion is not merely a bunch of facts nor aplace to worship, but the Chris tian rel igion concerns ourrelationship to God and ourdependence on the Lord JesusChr i s tThe Christian is different because t he l iving God isour heavenly Father. Our whole life and existence is boundup in God. And we know Him best, not as the great Creator and Sustainer of the mighty, vast, and mysterious universe, but as one who has taught us to address Him asOur Father which art in Heaven. This privilege whichis ours through the one Lord Jesus Christ is above andbeyond anything any man ever dreamed possible untilGod revealed Himself and His love to us.From the Bible Christian Broadcast, Radio Luxembourg

CONSTRUCTION STARTEDWith the coming of March and spring weather to Pusan,actual construction has started at the Kwang An DongChristian missionary radio station site. Joe Seggeike,whowith his familyrecently arrived in Pusan,is in charge

of the building program. Several preliminary activities hadto include partial building of a road (trucks are widerthan oxcarts), a strong fence erected and arrangementsmade for guards to prevent building material and eouip-

the construction of housing for t he ir f amil ie s. G if ts fort he houses should be clearly marked and sent directly tothe forwarding agents of the different families.

So much must be done quickly and done at the sametime. There must be eauipment. The station must get intooperation. All together, buildings, eauipment, and personnel become part of th e great instrument, a missionary radio station, that will send out the Gospe l of Christ.

There simply are not enough missionaries or nativeworkers to go around. Recent surveys in Japan have indicated that in many areas there was only one Christianworker to 80,000 people. The overa ll total in Japan indicated one Chris tian worker for each 20,000 people. Thereare more missionaries in Japan than any where else inthe Orient. Korea ha s a strong national church, but thepercentage of Christian workers of any sort compared tothe population leaves an impossible figure.

On December 26, 1957, we startedfor San Francisco, California, fromwhere we would s a i l It w a s a n i c etrip to California. It was beautiful,and I enjoyed It so much. When wefinally got to San Francisco, westayed at the Home of Peace, whichis a home for missionaries to stayuntil they are read y to fly or sail,which ever way they may be going. Ienjoyed my stay there very much.

On January 7, 1958, we pulled outof port at about 6 p.m. At about 8:00t ha t n ight we went under th e GoldenGate Bridge. Both San Francisco andthe Golden Gate Bridge looked beautiful that night.

A few minutes ago they started agame cal led ship ja no de, whichmeans cross game. It l ooks l iketh e outline of a cross with each armthe same length. To play this gameyou must draw two big rectangles a-bout 3 by 9 feet, crossing each otherand making a cross. If there are fourplayers, two will get in the middlean d two in one of t he ou ts id e blocks .The players in the outside block willtr y to go from souar e t o sauare without the one in th e middle pulling himinto the center or pushing him out ofth e l in es . Tha t person is out. Theother player is the winner. The people in the outside blocks may pullone person in the middle out. Anyeven number of players may play thegame. It is a very noisy game and thebest way to tell about it is to sayt h a t it is very much like a madscramble. We enjoy playing it withou r Korean fr iends .

There are some Korean games thatresemble the games you play in America. Some of them are Korean tag andb l i n d m a n s bluff .

B BLE CHRISTIAN BROADCAST:RADIO LUXEMBOURG

T he B ib le Christian Broadcast began it s seventh year of weekly broadcasts th e first Monday of April onRadio Luxembourg. This program isheard by some two million people insixteen countries of Europe. Thiswork is th e cooperative effort of Mr.and Mrs. Walter Coble of Garrett , Indiana, who raise the necessary fundsto pay for the radio time; Mr. andMrs. Alex Bil ls , Pusan, Korea, andMartin Clark, Osaka, Japan, who produce the broadcast; Exie Fultz, Osaka, Japan , who supervises the correspondence courses; and Guy May-field, Rome, Italy, who devotes muchof his time to making personal contacts with l isteners who h av e showninterest. Other contacts have alsobeen made by Ed Faustz in Germany.Of course, this broadcast has beenan asset to every kind of New Testament work being done in Europe.

Th e Cob le s f irs t b ec ame interested in evangelism in Europe whentheir foster son, Merwyn Greene, whowas in the service then, indicated aninterest in returning to Europe afterthe war as an evangelist.

Through the years the Bible Christian program has been a steady pro

This isindeed a worthwhile undertaking andshould have t he l iber al support ofChristians everywhere.

for th e release of Christian programsis a very important part of missionary radio. The other part is th e building and operating of our own station,such a s Chri s t i an Radio Miss ion isdoing in Pusan, Korea. The rewardfor th e work and money comes in th efreauent letters, such as this onefrom Eden Bridge, Kent, England.

ROBBERSThe Bible ve r s e that speaks of

t h ieves t ha t break in and s tea l couldadequately describe th e Bills ' homein Pusan. In s l i gh t l y more than ayear th ere have been 6 robberies.Twice the guard has cha sed prowlers, who no doubt were po t en t i a lthieves, out of the yard. The losseshave not been extremely great, butonly light sleeping and guard constantly on duty have prevented thewhole house from being carried a-way. Easter Sunday night the mostda r i ng raid was made. One thiefclimbed over a high concrete walltopped with barabed wire onto themetal roof of the guard's house . Theguard, presumably only resting, wasno t even awakened by a man walking on a ti n roof. Betty, however,slept less heavily. Footsteps in thehalt were too heavy to be one of thechi ld ren. But by the time I was a-roused and convinced tha t it was arobber, the thief and his two companions had made off with a radio-phonograph.

These failures of young Christianscome as a shock Bu t Ch r is t ia n maturity takes many years. This amountof moneyrepresented a year 's salaryto the gir l. Banking facilities are soinadeouate that cash must be keptIn th e house, so Christians must betrusted. But we have learned againthe l e s son tha t It is somet imes necessary to keep temptation away frompeople. Bes ides thi s.

HANGUL - MALAnnyong hasimnika. Ne, an-

noyong haslmlnika. This is thegreeting, accompanied by a bow,which Koreans use when meeting people. The phrase means , Are you Inpeace? and is used in the same waywe would say, Hello, how areyou?

As most of you realize, the abovewords have been romanticized, or theKorean sounds have been put intole t ters that we can read. The Koreanalphabet Hangul) is made up of 24characters an d is th e easiest of allOriental alphabets to learn. After afew days of study most of the hymnsin the hymnal can be sung withoutknowing what you are singing. Knowing the alphabet is essential to goodpronunciation of the language. Incomparison with the difficult Chinesecharacters, Hangul is auite simple.Both the Korean a l ph ab e t andChinese c h a r a c t e r s are used inwriting here, so It is necessary tolearn both. l thoughI haven't st u

died Chinese characters, I've heardthey are oui te interesting because oftheir background. Writing the alphabe t Is ouite an art. Each stroke roustfollow a prescribed order. The topstrokes of the character are writtenbefore the bottom strokes, the lefts t r okes before the right, and th ehorizontal strokes b ef or e t he vertica l

The most outstanding characteristi c of the language is the three-foldsystem of honorif ics which seems toin dic ate th at th e Korean has c l a s sed society into those individuals andobjects which are considered super-iorto him, eoual to him, and beneathhim. Thus, when a Korean greets onewho Is older, or in a pos i t i on ofpower, he uses the honorific level of language. When speaking tosmall children, persons socially in-ferIor that is , persons engaged incertain occupations), and to very int imate f riends, th e Korean can usethe panmal or lowest form of address In a ll other s i tua t ions whichs ta nd between these two extremes,he can use average language. Tocomplicate things even more, children have their own form of talking toe a ch o th er

The s t ruc ture of the Korean sentence is also Interesting. The wordorder roust always be subject-object-verb, which no chance fo r variationas there Is in German, French, orEnglish. This means t ha t th e speaker must have hi s thought completelyin mind b efo re h e beg in s t o speak .Th e s t ruc ture r ema in s the s ame Incase of statements, Questions, orcommands. The change is in t he verbending. For example , in averagespeaking every verb s ta tement endswith Tunita; every question endswith mnika. (Chosumnika Is itall right? Chosumnida It is allright.)

blems, but many times a passerbywill notice a foreigner having language problems and offer hi s servicesas interpreter. Those Koreans whoknow English love to practice speak*ing it. Several t imes while walkingon the street university studentshave approached me and started aconversation in English.

The course we are studying teaches conversation from the very beginning. This way, we can s p eak insentences very soon. One of the roostuseful phrases I've learned is , owdo you say this in Korean? This isone way to learn from those whodon't speak English. The Koreansare very p leased tha t foreigners tryto speak their language.
