of homes! Think of the great harvest of souls that would result---
NATION-WIDE! It would also cover all Canada, Alaska, and down into
Central America and even South America! Now while it would take an
amount running into six figures to buy it, this station can be
bought, for cash, for a fraction of the amount it would take to buy
any 50,000-watt station in the United States. And, aside from the
time we would use daily with the GOSPEL program, time could be sold
to reputable and clean commercial sponsors netting enough, above
all expenses, to retire the entire capital invested inside of three
years. After three years it would have cost us nothing. It would
enable us to send out over America the MOST POWERFUL EVANGELISTIC
CAMPAIGN IN THE HISTORY OF THE NATION! There never has been any-
thing like this. The facilities for 200,000 watts power are
already in this particular station, or available. With United
States stations rapidly following the movement to throw religious
broadcasts off the air in this country---well, perhaps this is
God's way of opening to us the most powerful avenue of all,
unaffected by what U.S. stations do! When Jesus said, "This Gospel
of the KINGDOM shall be preached into all the world for a witness
unto all nations, and then shall the end come." He meant "SHALL"
and all the powers of Satan cannot prevent! Now of course I do not
have a cent with which to buy this station. But, since God has
caused this offer to come to me, and since, in the near future,
this might be the ONLY means of carrying out Christ's commission,
He is able to have, among our Co-Workers, some one, or some two or
more who could join together to make it possible for us to purchase
this station. If so, God will impress the proper one, or ones, to
get in touch with me about it immediately, when I can give further
details which must for the present be kept in confidence. *** The
other was an offer from a large advertising agency to conduct a
daily 15-minute news-analysis over one of the large net-works
Coast-to-Coast, for a nationally-known sponsor, at a salary of
$1,500 to $2,000 per week. To accept this I would have to drop my
radio ministry to which God has called me. All the material-reward
in this world could not tempt me to do that. One soul converted is
worth more than a year's salary at that figure. Mrs. Armstrong and
I have dedicated our lives to Christ's service---our labor and
services belong to HIM, and are not for sale to the world. Satan
offered Christ the whole world. He refused the offer.
YOUR MISSION, AS WELL AS MINE
Is it not possible that the Church---and those true
Christians who compose the true Church---sometimes loses vision of
what its work really is? Jesus, the Head of the Church, gave us
our Commission---set us our example. Here is His first and great
commission! "Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to
every Creature." (Mark 16:15). When He was 12 years old, Jesus
said "I must be about my Father's business." We, too, must be
about our Father's business.
What is God's business? It is the business Jesus started.
He was sent from God bearing a MESSAGE (Acts 10:36). And so "after
that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching THE
GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD." Later He called His 12 disciples
together, "And He sent them to preach THE KINGDOM OF GOD and to
heal the sick." (Luke 9:1-2). Yes, the "law and the prophets"---
