I have taken the true Gospel personally, myself, into many countries and
in
all continents. It has never been done before. No one else has done it or is
doing it.
Now this glorious Work is expanding as never before. And that does
require the expenditure of more and more funds, to preach and to publish the
true
Gospel to more and more people.
The END of this world is drawing near. NOTHING else is really important
now.
We have been having a very fine increase in new donors (voluntary), new
co-workers, and new members. In addition to whatever financial sacrifice YOU
are able to continue making, I ask you solemnly to please PRAY earnestly that
God will increase still further the addition of many more new voluntary donors
and regular co-workers. Please join me in praying for this.
With deep love, in Jesus' name,

P.S. Since writing the above, the trial date for the forthcoming divorce
suit
has been definitely set by the court to begin on Wednesday, April 25. I feel I
should warn you that Satan is going to use this trial as a means not only to
attack
but DESTROY God's Work, as well as to destroy me personally.
That threat has been unofficially and indirectly made to my chief
attorney

hostility.
Jesus Christ said that just as they persecuted him, they would persecute
us.
They brought every conceivable false accusation against Jesus himself. The mind
of Satan can conceive of almost impossible and unbelievable false accusations
and
monstrous lies.
Satan similarly inspired others to falsely accuse the apostles Paul and
Peter.
Those apostles were thrown in prison. Stephen was stoned to death. Most original
apostles were put to death for the true Gospel's sake.
We are warned indirectly that every effort will be made to bring the
public
press and TV news media into this trial--to make it a sensational trial lasting
four
or more weeks. We anticipate their attempt to now republicize every false and
foul
rumor and filthy accusation to destroy me--character assassination.
When John the Baptist was in prison and such scurrilous accusations were
