Dear Family of Co-Workers:
GREETINGS, again, to you all, in Jesus' name, from your
pastor and fellow co-worker, called by will of God to be used in
the most important work on earth.
The great work of God IS AT THE CROSS-ROADS! It's my
duty to tell you the true FACTS! We have reached the supreme
crisis of the entire history of this tremendous activity. Either
this mighty work of God must launch out greater, in multiplied
power and scope, from this moment---or it must sink back, and
down,---and OUT! WE HAVE REACHED THE SUPREME TURNING POINT!
So listen! What I have to say to you now is of greatest
importance. The great final Mission of God on earth cannot stand
still. Nothing God does stands still. God causes trees to grow.
But a tree must grow, or it must die. God Himself is dynamic,
energized, moving, all powerful! If this is His work---and it is,
---then you and I are mere instruments in His hands. We are the
work of His hands. He works in and through us. He, the Great
Power that works thru us, then, is vital, dynamic, fully energized,
active mightily!
For more than 18 years this work has grown, and grown,
and GROWN! It has met every opposition, obstacle, discouragement,
and set-back. But always God delivered His work, hurled it on
forward with increased power, enlarged it to ever-widening fields
of service and influence.
Last fall, we more than doubled the power of the radio
broadcast. All thru the fall and winter we have been reaching
perhaps twice as many people with GOD'S MESSAGE as ever before---
the MOST POWERFUL TRUE GOSPEL PROGRAM OF WORLD HISTORY, reaching
some 12 to 15 millions of people every week!
Now we are facing spring. Soon radio waves will not
carry out so far or so clear or plain. The mail from new listeners
will begin to drop. This past fall and winter it has been a day-
to-day, and week-by-week struggle to hold our heads above water,
meet the enlarged expenses of this mighty program, and keep the
work alive. NOW COMES THE BIG TEST! We dare not turn back!
Instead we have reached the point where the work now must LEAP on
past the boundaries of the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
WE MUST NOW BEGIN TO LAY DEFINITE PLANS TO CARRY THE TRUE
GOSPEL IN ASTONISHING POWER TO EUROPE, BRITAIN, and then on to
