SALVADOR, Brazil—One
of the earliest settlements in
Brazil was Salvador, which
means Savior. Built in the
early 1500’s, it antedates
Jamestown, Virginia by about
100 years. Built on an escarp-
ment overlooking the Bay of
All Saints, for 200 years it was
the captial of Brazil,
Portugal’s vast colony. As
befitting the cultural center of
Brazil, it was adorned with
rich structures, plazas and
365 cathedrals, one for each
day of the year, with the most
magnificent placed inside and
out with gold.
Salvador was also the major
center for the slave trade, de-
pending as it did on the
cultivation of sugar cane,
cotton and other farm crops-.
African were the slaves of
their white masters, but
through the years they largely
conquered the Portuguese
culture. As a result today,
much of the superstition and
religion of tropical Africa has
been absorbed into the total

cultural meld that is Brazil,
and especially into the life of
Salvador.
Yes, the name of this great,
historic city means Savior,
but the Savior’s city has long
since sold out to Satan. The
major religious influence in
the city is not Catholicism,
but Candomble, a “low”
spiritist cult that calls upon
Exu, the African equivalent of
Satan. Multiplied hundreds of
spiritist centers dot the city,
with Spiritist ceremonies and
their attendant voodoo drum
beat forming the very pulse of
the city.
However, reader, we are
not writing about a backward
village, for Salvador is a
modern metropolitan center,
seaport and state capital of visiting the city that there
well over a mil'iion inhabit- many more than ten righteoi
ants. We are writing about a souls among its million and
city of tall skyscrapers, jet
planes and freeways. This is
Salvador, 1974, a modem city
sold out to the pagan worship
brought here by slaves more
than 400 years ago.

the hands of Satan, in a very
literal way. And it is likely to
remain in that condition for a
long time to come. To our
knowledge, no one is even
considering the difficult
challenge of Satan’s city.
Who should go to Salva-
dor? Not a lone family, but
rather a team of several
families, well prepared, not
only in missions, language
and culture, but also in a
knowledge of the particular
difficulties to be faced there.
Salvador is a beautiful place,
a blend of the old and new, a
rapidly growing center where
some evangelical groups are
making headway. Salvador
isn’t totally sold out to the
forces of evil. We know from

special “Mission Travel
Fund” has just been estab-
lished by Jay Smith World
Travel Service. The purpose
of the fund will be to provide
travel funds for missionaries
and their families to or from
mission areas—especially in
cases where the missionaries
or sponsoring churches have
only a part of the necessary
travel funds.
A committee is being
formed that will receive
applications for travel assist-

president for the past twenty
years of the school’s 24 year
history. Dr. Johnson previously
served as executive vice pres-
ident.
Dr. Ralph E. Owens, chairman
of the OCC trustees since 1968, ex-
plained, “This should be regarded
as a realignment of our top
administrative personnel.
Although Dr. Johnson will become
the chief executive officer of the
college, he and Dr. Baird will
work in concert with one another
to direct the future growth and
development of Oklahoma Chris-
tian College.”
As chancellor, Dr. Baird will
continue to lend administrative
leadership to the institution, and
will be involved in the enlistment
of a broader base of support.
ment of the company. The
names of the' committee
members will be announcec
when the full committee has
been appointed.
The funding for the com
mittee will be provided by the
travel service as tax exempt
contributions. “While these
contributions will be made or
a pre-passenger basis (churcl
members traveling on tours t<
Europe, Holy Land, etc.)
they will be legitimate con
tributions and neither com

“I am very enthusiastic about
the Board’s decision,” Dr. Baird
said. “This new administrative
pattern will reflect a team-type
approach to the management of
the college.”
“Dr. Johnson is deeply com-"
mitted to the purposes of Christian
education and to the philosophies
of this institution. He is a man of
outstanding abilities. I commend
the Board on their selection of his
as president,” Dr. Baird stated.
“As an alumnus of Oklahoma
Christian College, Dr. Johnson
has a keen insight into the
institution. He possesses unique
experiences that few college
administrators have known.
Making the transitions from
student to staff member and then
to president. Dr. Johnson has seen
the college in many phases of its
development and from several
vantage points. He knows the
college well. His leadership will be
a major asset in the future growth
of Oklahoma Christian College,”
Dr. Baird pointed out.
