Dear Co-Workers with CHRIST:
I have just received an S.O.S. message from our Business
Office at Pasadena Headquarters. It has an U R G E N T !! in
capital letters, underscored three times, with two exclamation
points, saying receipt of tithes and offerings has fallen "way
down," followed by another U R G E N T !! and asking me to write
immediately another Co-Worker Letter.
So if I have to let YOU know of this urgent need, I'm sure you
realize that we NEVER make our financial needs known over the air,
or in The PLAIN TRUTH or any literature -- we NEVER put a price on
anything -- we NEVER ask the public for contributions. Of every
300 readers of The PLAIN TRUTH 290 have never sent any money to us
for God's Work, and not one of them has ever been asked for money.
Mail response indicates that 28 MILLION people hear The WORLD
TOMORROW broadcast every week -- hear the VERY Gospel Jesus Christ
brought for mankind -- and yet only one out of 550 has ever sent
any money for the Work, or been asked for any. In other words, the
average Co-Worker is causing 550 other people -- more than half a
thousand -- to hear the true Gospel EVERY WEEK by radio; and is
getting The PLAIN TRUTH every month to 30 other people; besides
getting booklets, and the Bible Correspondence Course to many.
Think what that means! Of course you probably are not a
preacher -- but it is just as if you got together a church
congregation of 550 people EVERY WEEK, and instead of preaching to
them yourself, you had either my son Garner Ted Armstrong, or
myself come and preach to them EVERY WEEK, and you would be paying
for subscriptions to The PLAIN TRUTH for 30 of them, and also
giving much other free literature and the Correspondence Course to
as many as would request it. THAT IS WHAT YOUR FREE-WILL OFFERINGS
AND TITHES ARE ACCOMPLISHING! More than that, and ON TOP OF all
that, you would be doing your share toward sustaining the three
Ambassador Colleges, training hundreds of people for full-time
service in this great Work of God, and supporting more than 100
God-called, consecrated, fully-trained ordained ministers, beside
their many assistants, scattered around the world constantly
calling on radio listeners or PLAIN TRUTH readers who REQUEST a
visit for personal Bible study, counselling about personal
