Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
This letter is about a month past due, because of stopovers
in Texas and New York, and returning again to Ambassador College
near London, in England.
That very fact has put the Work of God in a serious
emergency. It seems that so many of our Co-Workers depend on these
monthly letters from me, to remind them to send in their tithes and
offerings. Some have said that when they do not hear from me they
suppose the work does not need any money.
But the need is DAILY, dear Co-Workers, whether you hear
from me or not. Of course I do not mean to suggest that each
Co-Worker should send tithes and offerings every day--but whether
it is weekly or monthly from each Co-Worker, the need at Pasadena
Headquarters is, of course daily, and constant whether you hear
from me or not. I hope we can make up for this lost time with
extra-liberal offerings.
In EVERY way this great Work of God is GROWING. And GROWTH
increases costs. Just before leaving for England I received the
auditor's report for our fiscal year ending last June 30th. It
showed the operating expenditures for the work had increased just
a fraction of a percent above a 30% increase over the preceding
year, and the income had increased exactly 30%. In other words, we
had to spend a comparatively small amount more than we received.
Therefore, we have had to rearrange our budget for this
present fiscal year to make a slight reduction in expenditures.
This means we cannot increase our expenditures for radio
broadcasting during the coming year, except very slightly. It is
a shame to have to cut down on the broadcasting of tho Gospel. But
God's business must be conducted in business-like manner. The
bills must be paid.
But if we will all take this to heart, and PRAY EARNESTLY
about it, and each try to stretch to sending in just a little more
for the Work--even if we have to forego doing something or buying
something for ourselves we might like, then perhaps we may, within
