Dear Co-Workers for Christ:
I can't hold back the truth from you any longer. I have to
tell you we have reached the breaking point---the extreme LIMIT---
in this tight squeeze holding on to the powerful net-work
broadcast!
Unless God now performs a MIRACLE thru you co-workers, we
cannot carry on another week! I shall have to cancel the net-work,
and either close down Ambassador College or take the daily and
every night programs off the air.
No longer is the situation just desperate---we have passed
the desperate stage! We now face a quick, sudden DEATH of most of
the work of God!
In Jesus' name, I have to tell you it is just that serious!
Our business office has put squarely up to me the hardest decision
I ever faced in all my life---they tell me I have to shut down all
these expenses immediately! But I can't do it until I send you
co-workers this one more letter. Even now I have not lost faith!
Here are the hard cold facts! Since the first of the year
we have been receiving enough money to pay expenses only ONE WEEK
in each month. The other 3 1/3 weeks of the month we have been
falling short an average of $650 per day seven days a week---that's
$4,550.00 per week less than we have to pay out to carry this
mighty WORLD-WIDE GOSPEL CRUSADE. The business office---our
business manager, our auditor and attorney, tell me bluntly that we
cannot continue to run behind at the rate of $15,000 per month.
They demand that I drop the net-work broadcast, and either stop the
daily broadcasts or close down Ambassador College AT ONCE!
Co-Workers! Brethren in Christ! IS ALMIGHTY GOD STILL ON
HIS THRONE? Is God still able to keep His promise to supply all
our need, according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus? God
has said in His Word that He will not stop the work He has begun!
Let me tell you right now, my dear Co-Workers and brethren, I
believe God means what He says! Though our faith be tried to the
breaking point---as it now is---YET WILL I TRUST HIM!
Co-Workers, my fighting clothes are on! I'm no quitter!
All physical FACTS and evidences, which can be plainly SEEN, say we
have to QUIT. But I have an evidence which is NOT seen---FAITH IN
