Report from One World Crusade and list of pioneer missionaries

David S.C. Kim April 1, 1972 Commander Mobile Unit 2 “One World Crusade”

The following is my second report on activities concerning the period of March 26, to April 1, 1972.

On March 25, 1972 our unit began to pack luggage and load the bus, until 12 noon. We left our love and hearts to the Las Vegas family-the state representative, the Browns, Gaynell, and one of the new converts.

On our way to Phoenix we had a wonderful session of singing and testimony in the middle of the desert, at 7:30-9:30 p.m., after putting the driver to bed for a few hours to rest for the remaining drive ahead. Under a full moon, isolated from the world, we heard Perry Cordill’s testimony and sang the new songs from Korea. All of us felt our Father’s love in His mystery of creation, including ourselves. It was a beautiful scene at night in the desert, with our Heavenly bus, God’s children and His creation for us.

We arrived at Phoenix at 3:00 a.m. after a search for Dr. Tomey’s house and the temporary place arranged for our stay. The state representative, Charles Wright, had not been in contact with us, but fortunately Ernie Stewart and Harmon Grahn made arrangements to rent the present address for one month.

Since there was no center established, we planned to set up a permanent center for the state representative. Therefore for three evenings public lectures were held at Wets Osborn house.

Folding chairs for the meeting, conking utilities and other arrangements were soon completed, so three lectures could be held at the new center. Mr. and Mrs. Hervey Tomey were very helpful in arranging accommodations in this strange town for the 24 heavenly soldiers. While we made the.se preparations, our spiritual foundation was also being laid.

Public meetings for two days were held at the YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association). Room rental was originally $25 per day but we negotiated for half of that price, being a non-profit organization performing a community service.

On March 30, we had a Rally for God during the lunch hour at the State Capitol building. Nearly 30 people stopped, interested in us, and even Governor Williams came out of his office, and talked with our political official, Leslie Elliott.

On March 31, 1972 we held a very successful rally at Arizona State University at Tempe, with 120

showing active interest in the event. Bob Heater was coordinator of the rally. Afterwards members of the unit visited several professors’ offices, telling about the work of the Crusade. However because of vacation over the Easter holiday, not many classes were in session.

Olivia and Joy visited three prominent businessmen in Phoenix, consulting them about future fund-raising techniques for the Crusade. Very valuable information was collected.

On March 31, all members went to the Indian High School, where they sang for about 100 students and 7 teachers. State representative Harmon Grahn spoke also about the One World Crusade.

We contacted local newspapers and television stations. Arrangements have been made for Harmon Grahn to appear on television after we depart. Susan Hughes and Harmon had an hour interview with a newspaper reporter, but the article has not come out yet. (The paper is the “Arizona Republic”.) On April 1, 1972, I purchased with my own funds a portable sound system ($ 223.00) for use at rallies, street preaching and bus use. It runs on both batteries and electricity, and thus is very flexible in its function. In the afternoon of April l, we went to the Sacred Ground at Encanto Park, using the new equipment for singing and speaking. It has two speakers and a “Roving Rostrum”, and sends sound in four directions; it is useful for up to 300 people, or an auditorium seating 500. During afternoon contacts were made to attend a night meeting.

That evening we had a question and answer session with the new contacts we had made in Phoenix.

Soon we plan to buy musical instruments for rallies. Already we have an accordion and viola, so soon we will have a musical team for public meetings.

After three days struggle with a difficult situation, we all overcame, setting up a foundation for the work of State Representative Harmon Grahn, who is advancing very well in many areas. He presided over public meetings at the YMCA and his speech was inspiring to the audience; his gentleness and sincerity will be an asset to future work in this area. He has already obtained the confidence of Mr. and Mrs. Hervey Tomey, who moved from Las Vegas one year ago. Thus Harmon is receiving strong support from the local community members.

Four or five young men are interested already in our movement, and will help him in his work. Permanent headquarters for him have been established at the Osborn address and the phone has been installed. House rent is very reasonable at S 175 a month, in a decent zone, with 10 colleges located within or near the city of Phoenix.

I encouraged him to study hard and be able to lecture to the Public soon. After three days of work we have John Shields, who has joined our mobile unit. He has been looking for our message for a long time and will be a great asset for our Crusade with his background in Christian evangelical work.
