Short History of the New Age Frontiers Newsletter

2007
Early in the movement Miss Young Oon Kim, the first missionary to America, decided that we needed a way to keep the few members advised of our activities. The first ones were typed and then taken some place and copied on thermofax, an early copy system which 3M came out with in 1950. It was a system that didn’t require chemicals.
After moving to San Francisco and we had more members, the New Age Frontiers became a larger operation. We obtained a small desktop offset machine, because of the book we were printing. George Norton and myself did the printing and mailing while Miss Kim continued typing it up.
As a result George and I had the only full set of copies. I had hung on to them until now because they were a great source of the early church history. Someone interested in history borrowed Georges copies and disappeared. This left me with the only other copies.
I have always wished to find a way to make copies available. The answer to my wishes came in the spring of 2007 when Joe Kinney, a long time member and friend of George Norton. He and others were interested in making copies of The New Age Frontiers available to everyone. George had him contact me.
I started copying all of the New Age Frontiers, nearly 500 pages, most of which are on legal size paper. I sent the copies to Joe Kinney in New Jersey. After much trial and error he finally arrived at putting them in PDF format. They came out very well. The Adobe PDF reader can be down loaded free on the Internet. These can be downloaded by anyone interest in the early history, in the peoples own words. There are articles, testimonies, stories from the first members who went out to take the message to others in the United States and other countries. This is the true history of the early church.
