government of the People's Republic of China and at
government expense while in China. As I write, ex-President
Nixon is there on invitation of the Chinese government.
The Vice-President of the United States, Walter Mondale,
was recently there, and allowed to speak to the whole
nation, the largest nation on earth, over the official
government radio network. Bob Hope was there with NBC
cameramen, allowed to produce and photograph a special
television show, broadcast to all America by NBC.
And now, I am to go on special invitation of the
government of the People's Republic of China. I am most
certainly the first religious leader to be invited there--
an atheist nation which does not believe in God. It is
a tremendous honor. I do not expect to be given free
time on their national radio network, but the government
is planning to host a great dinner in my honor, to be
attended by 400 or more important people. Our TV
cameramen are there now, and have been taking many
televised pictures to be used as background material
for my appearance there, as well as to photograph me,
according to my present understanding.
Mr. Rader was invited to give a two hour lecture
before their major university law school. GOD IS SURELY
OPENING DOORS!
The two recent hurricanes plowed through two of our
Feast sites, Savannah and Biloxi, but did not inflict
any damage serious enough to prevent the holding of the
Feast. I hope no extreme damage was caused to any of
our members and I'm sure we were all praying that God's
people would be spared who lived in the paths of the
hurricanes. In all the years we held festivals at Jekyll
Island, we were threatened by hurricanes during the Feasts,
but always God caused the hurricanes to veer off in another
direction. But this year, I have heard that Jekyll Island
was severely damaged.
I hope to see many of you at the three Feast sites
I shall attend. Meanwhile, keep tithes and offerings
coming, in my name, to Tucson, Arizona.
With much love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
