Audio-Visual Center Makes 1,000 Films Evangelical Audio-Visual cen ter, Sao Paulo, Brazil, now pro duces three daily radio programs for broadcast over more than 30 radio stations, and three addi tional weekly programs, reports the Rev. Robert L. Mclntire, of Presbytery of Wichita, director and founder of the center. Last year the center produced 1,000 filmstrips and placed 16 commercial records on the mar ket, Mr. Mclntire says, and adds that its newest enterprise is man ufacture of a 35 mm slide and film strip projector which can be adapted for use with any elec trical current commonly used in Brazil. The projector is especial ly popular in rural areas. Mr. Mclntire advises that the measure of advance may be esti mated from the fact that as re cently as 1950 it was almost im possible to sustain an evangelical broadcast on a major radio sta tion in Brazil.
