vacancy left by the Schnees. Martin graduated from the college in
Pasadena and since that time has been working in the office in Jo'
burg. He has an excellent background in business, as well as computer
O
science, and has been working in these areas for some years now.
Of course, another extremely important factor is Martin's German
background and language. He has grown up in a German-speaking family
which has given him a good command of the language. It would be
difficult for anyone to be assigned to the responsibility in Germany
who didn't speak the language. So Martin's training and background
have given him a great opportunity to serve the Work in another area
of the world. Needless to say, he and his wife are extremely enthu
siastic about the opportunity. It will be a real challenge and they
are anxious to be about the new job.
I won't try to give you more background than this on the newer
personalities, but will leave it to the able reporting of the World
wide News. (See the March 27th issue--Editor.)
But I do want to
encourage you to be behind all of these men, especially with your
prayers, as they meet the new responsibilities and changes in their
lives.

WORK RECEIVES COMMUNITY EXPOSURE IN NEW ZEALAND Mr. Bob Morton,
Regional Director of _the Work in New Zealand, had the opportunity to
give God's Church and the Work in New ze·
a1and good community exposure.
A newspaper in Auckland, N.Z., the North Shore Times Advertiser
(March 7, 1978), ran an objective and rather sizeable article in
which many points of doctrine, Christian living and the scope of this
worldwide Work were touched upon. Bob was also quoted extensively
throughout the article. Since the article mentioned times and sta
tions on which the World Tomorrow is broadcast, no doubt a good deal
of public interest has been generated.
WCG MINISTER INTERVIEWED ON RADIO On March 21, Dan Kelenske of our
Media Services Department was contacted by KDI<A Radio, a 50,000-watt
station in Pittsburgh. The John Cigna Show, which airs at 6:00 p.m.,
extended an invitation to discuss various topics stemming from the
booklet, "The Resurrection Was Not on Sunday." And so on March 25,
Fred Coulter, minister of the Monterey church, debated via phone from
California with Mark Thompson, a Pittsburgh Church of Christ minister.
Response from the show was very high. Parts of the debate were re
played the following evenings after the initial broadcast, and the
moderator was heard to say that what Mr. Coulter said had merit.
Local minister Don Lawson feels the experience was a positive one
and that the talk show host "sided" with Fred during the debate.
Fred Coulter has been on numerous radio talk shows in the past, and
can be heard regularly on KIDD Radio, a local station in Monterey.
He also felt the debate "went very well" and indicated he would be
glad to do it again anytime.
According to a representative from the station, the debate ran two
hours, instead of the usual one hour, because of the high interest
generated by the timely topic. Many persons called in with questions
