ten days to pay off a loan. 18 months ago one of our good
Co-workers mortgaged his home to borrow $5,000 which he put into
this work at the time of the college reconstruction. Last February
the bank demanded $2,000 of it, agreeing to let the remainder ride
for the time being. But now they demanded the other $3,000. We
paid the $2,000 in February. I had expected to have another six
months to pay the $3,000, but now we must meet this obligation
immediately. We will not let this dear Co-Worker and his wife lose
their home---but I need the immediate prayers and help of ALL of
our Co-workers.
The first of this week the broadcast went on a local
station reaching Southern California EVERY MORNING IN THE WEEK,
Sundays included. Our auditor and attorney is in the East working
on a gigantic timber deal which unexpectedly opened up, which if
successful, will go a long way toward building the college. In
Washington next week I hope to start wheels turning on another
opportunity which has come to us which, if God blesses with
success, will put this work financially on its feet and provide
great expansion for the college. God is opening marvelous
possibilities. In New York I hope to start the program on a super-
power 50,000-watt New York station which will carry the precious
Gospel to a million or more in the East and New England who are not
now hearing it---we now reach every other section of the United
States except this.
Two of our college students are on a Coast-to-Coast
baptizing tour---having baptized 59 precious souls converted
through the broadcast and our free literature through this past
winter, spring and this summer---AND MORE THAN FOUR HUNDRED MORE
ARE STILL WAITING FOR US TO SEND SOMEONE TO BAPTIZE THEM! God is
granting a BIG harvest of souls. Ambassador College is already
bearing rich fruit. Three other students are now writing articles
which have amazed me, as I think they will you, when I am able to
print them so you can read them. The college already is making
possible a great expansion in this work. It is providing me with
the necessary trained, competent help from consecrated,
Spirit-filled men whom God has called to this work which I have
never had before.
Three new highly-competent professors have been added to
our college staff for this fall semester. I am greatly encouraged
and enthused over their ability and standing, and they will add
prestige to the college. In every way God is BLESSING this work,
carrying it on in constantly greater power, endowing it with
increased ACCOMPLISHMENT.
Yes, GOD IS DOING HIS PART---and we here in Pasadena are
putting our very UTMOST effort, almost night and day, into this
work---we are DOING OUR PART! Many of our Co-workers are making
great sacrifice, and are diligent and faithful in sending in
generously of God's money---DOING THEIR PART. But MANY of our
Co-Workers, on the other hand, have been growing careless, or
forgetting---AND THEREIN LIES THE TROUBLE WHICH MAKES US SUFFER,
BRINGS REPROACH ON THE WORK, AND THREATENS TO STOP IT ALTOGETHER!
Brethren, Co-workers---THIS OUGHT NOT TO BE! Will you---
