Nippon Christian Broadcasting Association, though not yet of legal

age, considers its birthday to be June 8, 1959. On that day a group of Christian missionaries and Japanese met at the home ofMrs.Exie
Fultz, Kobe, Japan, to form an association which would have as its

goal the erection of a Christian FM Broadcasting station in the KobeOsaka area of Japan. With the help of their legal advisor, Mr. Saburo Kojima (whose eld est sonis studying in Osaka Bible Seminary), these Christians setup

an organization of eleven members with three trustees and a manage ment committee of five. Supreme authority of the association is in vested in the eleven-man, or general membership, body. The trus tees serve as the legal representatives and directors of the associa

tion. Trustees chosen at the inaugural meeting were, Hiromu Sugano of Nishinomiya as head-trustee, Eiichi Taniyama of Tanabe and Masahisa lijima of Tokyo. The work of the management committee will be
to help layplans for the total work of the association. Those to serve on this committee are: Mrs. Exie Fultz of Kobe, chairman; Mr. Rob ert West of Hayashino;Mr. Don Burney of Kochi; Mr. Eiichi Taniyamaof Tanabe; and Mr. Kunio Inada of Kobe.

The first workf or the association was the drafting of their "Articles of Association" to be submitted to the Japanese government. Several drafts have been worked over and the Articles are now being put in final form for presentation to the Ministry of Communications. When approval of these Articles is given by the Communications office NCBA will receive legal status. With this "coming of age" NGBA will be expected, in her applica tion for a permit, to submit the following papers: 1. Inventory of assets --to prove that she has sufficient funds
2.
to complete the FM station project. A statement of source and amount of income--to prove that she will have adequate funds to maintain the station after it is
on the air.

3.

A work plan showing plans for building and equipment install

ation with an expected completion date.

4. Plans for the programming to be done by the station. After these papers are submitted and approved then NCBA will re ceive a "provisional" permit with call letters. License to go on the air will be granted only after a final and thorough inspection of the complete installation by the Japanese government officials. Mrs. Exie Fultz, missionary-representative of the association, will also be serving as station manager. Personal advisors to Mrs. Fultz
on matters regarding station operation and relationship of NCBA to the churches in America are: Martin B. Clark, president, Osaka Bible

Seminary, Osaka; Don Burney, Shikoku Christian Mission, Kochi; Robert West, Hayashino, Okayama ken; and Claude Likins, Likins Mission to Japan, Tokyo.

that Jesusexpected the farmer to use every avail able and proper method to accomplish his purpose. If a Japanese farmer were to use the methods of some of my wheat-farmer friends of Eastern Ore gon, there would be no room left to farm--their machinery would cover it all.

Exie Fultz has returned to Japan after almost a year's tour in the U.S. where she presented to the churches the present work and fu'ure plans of Nippon Christian Broadcasting Association. About noon on June 3, Japan Air Lines flight No. 613 landed at Haneda airport in Tokyo where a rather exhausted traveler deplaned (see picture) happy that she was back again in the Land of the Rising Sun. Martin and Evelyn Clark and Stanley, Ma bel and David Buttray were on hand to meet her. See "Return" page 2, col. 2

Formal application for our permit for an FM Broadcasting Station should be made immediate

ly according to officials in the Tokyo Communi

cations Office. Wednesday, June 8, Exie, Mr. Saburo Kojima, NCBA legal advisor, and Mr. Masahisa lijima, NCBA trustee living in Tokyo, conferred with officials regarding NCBA's request for a permit to build a Christian FM station. We were advised, "Apply nowl" Already our "Articles of Association" have been submitted to the Tok yo Communications office. This does not mean a formal application

has been made nor does it mean we have legal recognition as a Broadcasting Association. The

papers submitted thus far state our purpose and show the type of organization we plan. The of ficials to whom we talked saw no objections to these "Articles" and told us to go ahead with our

application. Permit to broadcast and legal rec

ognition, however, will not be granted until we can prove we are capable of carrying out our
plans. If we want our request to be considered

further the next step is to submit our formal ap

plication.

Communication officials pointed out that le

gal processes will be slow, taking perhaps a year

to a vear and one-half, but added that we should

not delay in getting in our application. Our for

mal application must show: (1) Assets sufficient to build and maintain the station; (2) Our build

ing and installation plans; (3) A work program i.e. outline of programs to be broadcast. A great and effectual door is open unto us for radio evangelism! Are we ready to enter in?

A missionary of one of the groups, after hearing the result of our meeting with Tokyo communications, remarked, "I wish we had your set-up". According to the Tokyo office only two religious groups (not counting us) have applications in. One is Tenrikyo, a pagan sect, and one is a Christian school in Tokyo ap plying for an educational station. As I've pon
