Negotiations are under way for a MAJOR expansion in
world-wide broadcasting, covering all Europe, Africa, and South
America--greatly reinforcing the already powerful broadcasting in
these areas.
Coincident with our new Duesseldorf office, giving us a
local German mailing address, we are purchasing TWO PAGES every
issue in both the German and Austrian editions of Reader's Digest,
in the German language, with a circulation of over ONE MILLION
copies--reaching perhaps 3 to 4 million people. Plans are under
way for using the same amount of space in the French Language
editions, adding another million-plus copies in France and Belgium.
In this space we publish two-page articles carrying the true
original Gospel Message of Jesus Christ. I'm sure you are aware
that we publish a German-language edition of The Plain Truth, which
now has a circulation in Germany, and other European countries
where German is spoken, of many thousand copies.
Right now we are planning to begin putting these two-page
articles, carrying Christ's TRUTH to the public in an interesting,
forceful new manner, in the great mass-circulation UNITED STATES
editions. These editions have a total circulation of 13,765,000
copies--by far the largest circulation of any publication on earth.
This great WORK OF GOD is growing in power and scope as
probably no other activity on earth is growing. It is empowered by
THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD! It is guided by the living CHRIST! It is
the very WORK OF GOD! Many have tried, in their carnal, human
reasoning, to figure out what makes this great Work tick! But they
can't, because they fail to see the invisible HAND OF GOD, and HIS
POWER in it!
Yet the mighty GOD does work through human instruments
who are yielded to HIS WILL, and whose hearts are in HIS WORK. God
does lay the serious NEED--the mounting financial need--on us, His
servants! As He prospers and enlarges and expands His work,
opening constantly new and powerful doors for thundering Christ's
powerful Gospel and last solemn WARNING to a dying world--preparing
the way for Christ's glorious return to SAVE the world--He also
lays on us expanding financial needs, which HE supplies, through
us! It is HE who has made us able to give for His Work!
The need for real sacrifice on YOUR part and mine is not
less, but greater than ever!
NEVER, dear Co-Workers, have I needed your earnest and
heart-touched and believing and persistent PRAYERS as I do right
now! NEVER has this WORK needed your fervent and prevailing
PRAYERS as right now! Perhaps most of us, by the sacrifice of
other material things that would soon perish anyway, can stretch to
contribute a little more generously than we have been doing.
Some, who have larger sums they do not feel free to give
outright for God's Work right now, are still putting that money TO
WORK for God by loaning it for a year, or several years--or until
they feel they can make it an outright gift. If you possibly can
make a contribution to this Work, where the living CHRIST is
