MILLION PEOPLE LISTEN TO AND READ THE MESSAGE EVERY WEEK --
WORLDWIDE!
We must now SPEED UP the great Work!
Unless there is a marked and immediate INCREASE in receipt
of tithes and offerings, we shall have to virtually SHELVE our new
TELEVISION program for at least a year. We are now on about four
TV stations -- in a preliminary and experimental way. Garner Ted
Armstrong is TREMENDOUSLY effective on television. Many who have
seen the program say he is more effective than any of the
nationally known Network newscasters, commentators, or documentary
personalities.
It has been a difficult transition from radio to
television. He has had to adapt himself to something quite
different. But he is mastering it with God's help in a
tremendously effective way. I know you'll want to see him on TV.
But we can proceed ONLY if our Co-Workers will now sacrifice some
other things, and try to INCREASE their offerings in addition to
tithes.
Co-Workers -- Brethren in Christ -- WE ARE ON THE FINAL
"GUN-LAP." The "chips are down!" We must give this great work a
mighty additional PUSH! The time is short -- and it is VITAL. IT
IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN OUR LIVES RIGHT NOW! Soon our money
will not help us!
Here is what GOD says soon will happen: As the DAY OF THE
LORD approaches: "They shall go into the holes of the rocks, and
into the caves of the earth, for fear of the ETERNAL, and for the
glory of His Majesty, when He ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of
gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles
and to the bats; to go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the
tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the ETERNAL, and for the
glory of His Majesty, when He ariseth to shake terribly the earth."
(Isaiah 2:19-21.)
Never was the need so urgent.
Never were sizeable loans more needed -- if you have cash
not now being used, but which you are not free to GIVE. If you are
not able to GIVE it outright at this time, it will help greatly if
you PUT IT TO WORK, as a loan, WHERE THE LIVING CHRIST IS WORKING,
AND DIRECTING, AND BLESSING! Remember, we do maintain a separate
reserve fund to guarantee repayment of such loans IF you should
have to ask for it -- or a part of it -- to be repaid. But if you
do find, later, that you are able to turn it into a contribution to
God's Work, then you may deduct it on your income tax -- for this
Work is fully recognized -- both as a College, and as a Church --
by the Internal Revenue Bureau.
Let all of us TRY HARDER to GIVE MORE FOR GOD'S WORK -- and
even more OFTEN! Especially try to send in something EXTRA during
the last half of each month, when the income for the Work slacks
off.
