Our son Garner Ted Armstrong arrived in England in time for
the first graduation exercises there. Three--all transfers from
Pasadena, since all British students are first-year--were
graduated. The college in England has finished a VERY successful
first year. Hundreds of new ministers, executives, and other
workers are being developed in our two colleges! In every way
GOD'S GREAT WORK IS MOVING FAST!
It is being slowed up by only one thing--insufficiency of
needed funds to carry it faster! THAT, dear Co-Workers, is the
part GOD HAS LAID ON YOU! A trans-Atlantic telephone conversation
with our business manager in Pasadena the other day gave me the
serious news that the financial situation in the business office is
grave. The need is great and URGENT!!
I am doing all I can do! I have been driving myself
harder, lately! Have you noticed, there has been an increase in
the number of articles written by me personally, in The Plain Truth
since we have enlarged it to 40 pages? I have been trying to carry
a bigger part of the daily broadcasting, too. For the past year
and a half or so I have had to put an increasing part of the broad-
casting onto Garner Ted. And he has developed in power and
effectiveness so much I sometimes think it might be better if he
carried it altogether. But, then, there are many who keep
insisting there is no substitute for all these many years of
experience--and I suppose it does carry some additional weight to
the 15 million people who hear The World Tomorrow every day--all
around the world! But there is a limit to the number of things one
man can do in a day!!!
But when I urge you to step up your efforts in sacrificing
to provide finances for this work, I do want you to know I am doing
the same--both financially, and in my daily personal activity. I
am working harder than ever before.
The GREATEST URGENCY in all this whole world is not
developing the resurrection of the Roman Empire (The "BEAST" of the
Revelation), but meeting this financial need at our business office
in Pasadena. To do this, we still need MORE than the combined
tithes and offerings of all our Co-Workers. We need, not only the
largest amounts each Co-Worker can send in, but more of the loans
in amounts of $500, and up to several thousand dollars, from those
who are unable to give such sums, but could loan them for a year or
more.
I shall rush this letter, air-mail by jet plane over the
polar route straight to Pasadena, to be copied and mailed on to
you. Please respond as quickly, as often, and as generously as
possible.
Mrs. Armstrong and I are returning to Pasadena soon.
Please pray for our protection daily--and pray fervently,
earnestly, continuously, that God will lay this financial burden
heavily on the hearts of all who are able, that they will be
willing. THANK YOU. God bless you!
