gods? even so will I do likewise.' THOU SHALT NOT do so unto the
ETERNAL thy God." (Deut. 12:30-31).
Don't you think it would be a little ridiculous if people
planned a birthday party, and then everybody who came SNUBBED the
man whose birthday it was -- ignored him -- and exchanged the
birthday presents among themselves, giving none to the man having
the birthday? You'd SUPPOSE, wouldn't you, that people would
present their gifts to the living CHRIST for HIS Work at this
season?
Co-Workers, REMEMBER JESUS CHRIST IS ALIVE! He is the
guiding HEAD of this great Work. Under His guidance, and with His
blessing, this Work has grown great. It is carrying His very Gospel
to more than 30 million people every week -- in every inhabited
continent on earth! WHAT A PRIVILEGE it is for YOU and for me that
Christ Jesus has CALLED you and me to be His own Co-Workers! We
are His instruments! We are privileged to GIVE so that HIS GOSPEL
may go out FREE! I have to let YOU, who voluntarily became an
active Co-Worker, KNOW the urgent NEED -- so that we can proclaim
Christ's Gospel NEVER asking the public for financial support --
NEVER asking contributions over the air -- NEVER putting a price on
The PLAIN TRUTH, the Bible Correspondence Course, or any literature
we offer the public.
YOU DO NOT KNOW OF ANY OTHER WORK LIKE IT!
Of more than 30 MILLION people hearing Christ's Message
EVERY WEEK, only one out of every 550 has ever sent any money to
help us pay the cost; the other 549 have NEVER BEEN ASKED for
contributions!
But I do have to ask YOU -- in Jesus Christ's name -- to
come quickly to the rescue, that God's Work may survive this
difficult month of December! Jesus Christ has never let YOU down!
We must not let Him down right now while so many are neglecting!
Mr. Portune tells me we have to bring the December income up to
half-again over normal to keep out of financial danger. That means
every one of us needs -- if possible -- to increase normal tithes
and offerings by 50% during this month!
Will you PRAY with me for this? It's going to take earnest,
believing, persevering PRAYER! It's going to take some SACRIFICE
of other things we have wanted. And again, for those who have
larger sums you are not free to give at this time -- the LOAN of
such sums -- say, $500, $1,000, or many thousands of dollars --
was never more needed. If later you see your way clear to make it
a donation, well and good -- if not, and you find you must have it
back, it will be promptly returned. But let JESUS CHRIST be using
it in the meantime -- let it be WORKING where Christ is working --
and blessing!
I'm forced to ask you for the largest amount God has made
possible -- and please, this time, send it AIRMAIL! Remember the
Christmas mails are clogged down and congested. Let's all make
special effort, right now!
