Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
Here we are, already well into the year 1966! I have
IMPORTANT NEWS for you -- the most important news in the world
today. In newspapers, on radio or TV newscasts, you get only bad
news -- conditions getting worse and worse.
But the most IMPORTANT news is GOOD NEWS! We are very
near, now, to the happy, joyful WORLD TOMORROW -- and the living
Jesus Christ is already shouting out the BIG NEWS to more than 30
million people every week, on every inhabited continent AROUND THE
EARTH -- PREPARING THE WAY FOR HIS SOON COMING to put an END to all
the bad news!
But Jesus Christ is not doing this great Work of ADVANCE
PREPARATION all alone by Himself. This is SERIOUS BUSINESS -- the
most serious on earth today -- and He has DRAFTED YOU AND ME as His
advance peace army, preparing the way for the coming Great Day!
The living Christ is working today through human instruments. THIS
is the VERY WORK OF GOD!
Let me tell you the inside facts about the status of this
tremendous Work! We recently closed the most fruitful year of this
Work, BY FAR! THOUSANDS of precious lives were brought to Jesus
Christ -- converted -- begotten as children of GOD -- to be born
into God's immortal Kingdom! No other harvest compares! No other
activity of men is as great! One single life converted into God's
Kingdom is worth more than all the money in the world!
Years ago there was one minister in this Work -- then
small, just beginning. Usually there were from one to a few dozen
precious lives won for God's Kingdom each year. But today it is
multiple THOUSANDS -- actually in excess of SEVEN THOUSAND. And I
do not mean people who, under the emotional spell of an
evangelistic sermon follow the crowd to the altar to "profess
Christ," -- and then perhaps wake up the next morning to wonder why
they had done it. I don't mean people who make a profession now,
and then forget it a little later. I MEAN PEOPLE WHOSE WHOLE LIVES
HAVE BEEN CHANGED -- really CONVERTED!
And that precious number is increasing by 30% every year.
That great harvest is DOUBLING in size every two and two-thirds
years!
