Voice of Prophecy Bible School in the mid-1950s

1956: Voice of Prophecy staff spent an afternoon personally inviting residents of Glendale, Calif., to tune in the broadcast and enroll in free Bible correspondence courses.

From 1970 to 1974 the VOP began the year with an annual New Year's Bible Reading, a continuous event that took about 84 hours to complete. Using a variety of English versions of the Bible, as well as nearly 40 other languages, staff and persons from the community were joined by tape-recorded readings by state and national religious and political leaders. The 1973 Bible Reading (this photo) included nearly all 50 state governors (taped) and a six-hour period of reading by teenagers (in person).

Among participants in the 1974 WestPoint of Evangelism were these six evangelists who had an average of more than 55 years experience in evangelism. From left: A. O. Sage, Dr. R. A. Anderson, J. L. Shuler, Fordyce Detamore, Dr. H. M. S. Richards, and John Ford.
