the Ministers of God's Church, worldwide, are in COMPLETE HARMONY
AND ACCORD -- IN ONE MIND (the Mind of CHRIST), and with a spirit
of TOGETHERNESS such as never before.
All are ENTHUSIASTIC in seeing GOD'S WORK dynamically
LEAPING FORWARD IN A COMPLETELY NEW DIMENSION as NEVER BEFORE!
God has given us UNITY in HIS PRECIOUS HOLY SPIRIT.
All are now PRAYING, as never before, for this GREAT
WORK! The ministers there were kept informed day by day of the
progress at Manila.
I think you will be glad to know that I am informed by
our Business Office at Pasadena Headquarters that WE HAVE NOT HAD,
AT ANY TIME, TO DIP INTO GOD'S TITHES, WHICH YOU SEND IN, to pay
for construction of new buildings on our college campuses -- not
even for the superb new Ambassador Auditorium! All building
construction has been taken care of by the SPECIAL BUILDING FUND
OFFERINGS.
But I have to tell you that these SPECIAL BUILDING FUND
OFFERINGS have dropped off seriously the past few months!
Brethren, I don't want to have to take tithe money from the GOSPEL
Work for the Building Fund. We have been providentially privileged
to obtain long-term (15 and 20 years) insurance company loans to
finance these buildings, in addition to what we have been able
to pay from the special Building Fund. With what we had on hand
in the Building Fund, we were able to obtain 100% financing on the
new Auditorium -- a thing virtually UNHEARD OF! And we obtained
this major-sized financing at LOWER interest rate than today's
prime rate! God has blessed His Work ABUNDANTLY! So Brethren, I
have to ask you to once again bring the SPECIAL Building Fund
offerings back up to normal. We still have to pay off the
financing month by month.
Co-Workers and Brethren, this has been GREAT NEWS!
God is WITH US as never before -- because WE ARE WITH
HIM in one Mind and one Spirit as never before.
It is now like a COMPLETE NEW WORK! The Gospel, at last,
is going AROUND THE WORLD IN POWER -- reaching people in nations
from the top down -- those whom God will hold responsible for this
precious Message from Him! This powerful NEW DIMENSION of the Work
is something never before done in all world history! It is
IMPORTANT that you realize these were ADULT audiences, with top
government people, and mostly upper and middle-class people --
those God HOLDS RESPONSIBLE in the nation.
Besides this, the only true GOSPEL is going out over the
United States, Canada, and Australia, daily, on television and
radio. It is going out WORLDWIDE, through The PLAIN TRUTH, The
GOOD NEWS, books, booklets and free literature. The three
Ambassador College campuses are continuing to train thousands of
serious young men and women for active participation in THE GREAT
WORK! All told, this is a gigantic, well-organized worldwide Work
having GREAT IMPACT on the whole world. And it's THE ONLY WORK
