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

possible to sustain an evangelical
broadcast on a major radio sta
tion in Brazil.
