Dear Brethren and Co-Workers with Christ:
Now we are beginning to prepare in earnest for the greatest
Feast of Tabernacles ever.

an opening Festival greeting to be shown by 16mm projector on large
screens in every Feast site on the opening night.

Churches Worldwide, in planning for this year's Feast.

ANNUAL CONCLAVE OR CONVENTION HELD BY ANY CHURCH OR RELIGIOUS GROUP
ON EARTH? In actual fact, it is!
We are working together with all the ministers who will be
speaking at these many Festival sites. We hope to bring you this
year the most INSPIRATIONAL, the most SPIRITUAL, the most INTERESTING
AND INSPIRING sermons ever!

has been dynamically and inspirationally putting the Almighty God back
into His Church.
Jesus Christ has awakened us to the realization that there had
been a let-down in the Church! Ambassador College was rapidly
becoming secular--with Christ thrown out! But Jesus Christ is not
going to allow Himself to be PUT OUT! It will be GOD'S College
again this coming school year.
This is the Church and the Work of the LIVING GOD--not of MEN
Not of this world! The television program was becoming more and
