twice as often, now twice a month. Now we can afford to increase
the circulation, carrying Christ's Gospel Message to more and more
people. And THAT IS the WORK -- and an effective leap ahead in
the Work.
Christ sent the Gospel first to "the lost sheep of the
house of Israel" -- the so-called "lost ten tribes." The first
40 years we reached primarily these countries who are the "house
of Israel," the United States and Canada, Britain, Australia,
South Africa, western Europe. But the Great Commission is: "Go
ye into all the world" with the Gospel Message of the soon-coming
Kingdom of God.
We tried to reach the large gentile nations via radio
stations outside their borders. But these radio stations did
not reach them.
Now God has opened the doors to the great-population
gentile nations right at the top, beginning with their kings,
emperors, presidents, prime ministers, and other high-ranking
officials next under them. This is perhaps the GREATEST and
MOST IMPORTANT step forward in the Work in 40 years! It is the
only sign Christ gave that we are very near the end of this world,
and Christ's coming! (Matt. 24:14).
And so, the Work -- that which the Living Christ has called
us to do -- is leaping ahead faster than ever, in spite of the
worldwide economic crisis, in spite of the serious recession now
crippling the United States!
True, we have had to make cutbacks -- but the Work has
gone forward at the same time.
What about the college in England? When we started it
in 1960, the Work needed more trained men and women. The Bricket
Wood campus trained some of our most valuable ministers and
department and branch office managers. For years we absorbed into
the Work virtually all of our graduates. But finally we became
more fully-staffed -- we needed no more graduates than the two
United States campuses could supply. And it was difficult sending
so much money from the United States to England to support the
college, no longer needed. So we closed it.
Now we are faced with still increasing costs. Postal
costs are mounting -- another increase is expected. Mail
deliveries are slower. But the WORK is GETTING DONE in spite of
dastardly false accusations made up in perverted, Satan-deceived
and led imaginations (I would never know how to make up such false
rumors), and the Living Christ is on God's Throne guiding, leading,
blessing this Work.
But Satan is vicious, a LIAR, and the father of lies,
and Garner Ted and I do need your earnest prevailing prayers for
God to restrain Satan. Surely we are now in the time -- or very
close to it -- when the WAR IN HEAVEN between the archangel Michael
and his angels was fought against Satan and his demons, and Satan
was cast back down to the earth where he is now falsely accusing
