We are now on TV in Los Angeles, the San Francisco bay
area, Tyler, Texas and Bermuda.
We had to decide to try to replace the radio broadcasting
that has been shut off in Britain with newspaper and magazine
coverage. WE SIMPLY CANNOT DROP THE WORK IN BRITAIN! Then we
shall GO SLOWER in adding television stations in the U.S..
If God's Work is to keep growing, we have to add additional
new printing presses both here in Britain and in Pasadena -- and we
must install one or two smaller presses on the Texas campus. We
save thousands of dollars every month by doing our own printing.
But we send out -- even in the United States -- more than four bi
freight car loads of literature every month -- including The PLAIN
TRUTH, books and booklets, Correspondence Course, etc.
This great Work is reaching forty-five million or more
people EVERY WEEK, around the world. It is the most effective and
far-reaching and POWERFUL Gospel Work the world has ever seen --
reaching MORE PEOPLE than any other ever did, so far as we know.
And it is SO EFFICIENTLY ORGANIZED and conducted, that
every dollar goes farther -- reaches MORE PEOPLE -- in this Work
than any other operation, so far as I know. But there just simply
IS NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO KEEP IT GOING AND GROWING EFFECTIVELY AS IT
MUST!
Co-Workers, we are planning as carefully as possible --
making every dollar go the farthest possible. THOUSANDS of lives
are being CHANGED, converted, brought to God's Kingdom and ETERNAL
LIFE every year -- MANY thousands, now, every year! The spiritual
HARVEST is TREMENDOUS! But the LABORERS, to support it and help
finance it and keep it growing, ARE TOO FEW. Jesus said: "The
harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few: PRAY therefore
the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest." I
ask YOU to do that!
Co-Workers, I now have to ask you to try to send in
ADDITIONAL offerings, beside God's tithe which HE says you OWE Him
-- as far as you are able. I have to ask you to do it every month
for the rest of this year. WE SIMPLY HAVE TO PRAY HARDER --
sacrifice other things MORE, TRY harder. Time is running out on
us!
God's great Work is growing -- but not as fast this year as
it MUST, if we are to fulfill Christ's commission to which He has
called us! We must tighten our belts, so to speak -- and ALL
TOGETHER push this great Work on faster!
NEVER were loans of money you do not need right now more
URGENTLY needed. They HELP! If you have a larger sum, but are not
free to give it outright to Christ's Work at this time -- why not
let it be WORKING where the living Christ is DIRECTING and
BLESSING, in the meantime.
PRAY for this Work. PRAY for me personally -- and my son
Garner Ted, and all of our active staff now numbering into many
