Missions Appeal j
By Advent isfs
Now Under Way
The 53rd Annual World Ap
peal, sponsored by Seventh-day
Adventist churches is under way
this week in three Valley
churches, Eagle Point, Medford,
and Valley View.
Leading the volunteer work
ers in the city-wide drivers are
Irvin Pershall, home missions
director for the Eagle Point
church; Lewis Corwin, leader of
the Medford group; and Walt
Chapman, Valley View director.
The combined goal for the
churches is $5,050.
Although the church entirely
supports its workers through te
Bibical tithing system, it main
tains a large welfare program
both at home and abroad, and
in the yearly appeal members
invite friends and neighbors to
help in this ministry.
Funds are distributed each
year in accordance with areas
judged to be of greatest need.
In 1956 approximately 60 per
cent was used for welfare, disast
er relief and educational serv
ices in North America, with the
remaining 40 per cent being
used in medical, welfare and
educational ministry in 183 coun
tries.
Work of this type is carried on
locally by each church's Dorcas
society, and a Welfare center
located behind the Medford
church building, corner of Ed
wards and Beatty is open to the
public each Wednesday' from
10 a.m. to 3 p.m. There are 89
such centers located in the state
of Oregon.
Individual goals for church
members are set on a "minute
man" basis, $23.11 being the
amount of money needed to
carry on the denominations
world welfare program for one
minute at the present time.
