This is the most important Work on earth today. The good
YOU are doing, by your earnest PRAYERS for this Work, and your
honest tithes and generous offerings, is beyond all calculation.
It is resulting in bringing ETERNAL LIFE to thousands every year.
It is preparing the way to CHANGE THE WHOLE WORLD!
It is the BIGGEST, most MONUMENTAL Work, in importance,
since Christ Himself was on earth in the human flesh. Soon He will
be here again in the glorified SPIRIT and POWER!
But this grand and glorious Work is NOT EASY! There are
always problems. There is persecution, false accusation. I NEED
YOUR PRAYERS -- desperately! Are you praying EVERY DAY, earnestly
and fervently, for this Great Work of God?
Somehow, I feel that some of our Co-Workers have slacked
off in praying for it this past month -- because the receipt of
tithes and offerings has slacked off. NOW WE MUST MAKE UP FOR LOST
GROUND!
Yes, it does take sacrifice. It is MORE IMPORTANT than
anything else in our lives -- it ought to COME FIRST, over and
above other wants. God doesn't want us to sacrifice our real NEEDS
-- I don't ask that -- but don't we all spend money for things we
just wanted but surely didn't need?
Think of this great Work. Its results are FOR ALL
ETERNITY. Far more important than some temporary enjoyments or
pleasures that may do more harm than good -- and in any event won't
last long.
Once again, I have to send out the call for the LOAN of
larger sums if you happen to have such an amount which you feel you
cannot, at this time, at least, give. Many Co-Workers have sent in
such sums, so this money may be at CHRIST'S disposal, working where
HE works, and with His blessing, DOING GOOD -- until they find they
need it -- or part of it. Of course many of these are later
changed to straight contributions. But IF, or when, you find you
must ask for part or all of it back, this Work is prepared to send
it to you immediately. A special reserve is maintained to
guarantee this.
God's Work is financially sound -- its business affairs
conducted with prudence and experienced and sound management. But
to keep it sound and healthy DOES require that we all keep praying,
and contributing our part as God makes possible.
REMEMBER -- we NEVER solicit the public for financial
help. ONLY those who have voluntarily evidenced that they are
God's people whose hearts are in this Work. YOU were never asked
for support until you, yourself, took the initiative to become
a Co-Worker -- one of our inner family of beloved Co-Workers with
Christ! No other Work is like it.
The need right now is urgent again. PRAY that God will
