** RATINGS FOR THE DOSS DOCUMENTARY ARE IN - PAX television has a
telecast reach of 95 million homes. The numbers for viewership were 1.4
share for the first hour and 1.3 for the second hour. This means that of
the 95 million homes, 1.4 and 1.3 percent translates into 1.3 and 1.2
million homes were tuned in on PAX, with competing networks sharing the
balance of the viewers. With more than 100 channels on cable and another
300 available on satellite, our share was exceptional. The normal
audience rating for any PAX telecast is around .3 to .4 percent. When
compared to the normal our impact was significant.

** DESMOND DOSS VIDEOS AVAILABLE - Those who saw the PAX TV telecast of
"The Conscientious Objector" and did not see the order information for
home videos should be directed to the order line at 800-447-9001 or
visit www.desmonddoss.com and click on gifts.

** RECIPES NEEDED - The Pacific Union Conference is creating a new
outreach website that will feature practical information related to
life. A major section of the site will feature delicious vegetarian and
vegan recipes.
