Dear Friend and Co-Worker:
It occurs to me that you may have questions you'd like to ask
me--perhaps questions about the Bible--perhaps there are personal
problems about which you need counsel. Perhaps you'd like to ask
questions about this work, how it started, how it is carried on.
Above all, surely you'd like to know more about God's true
Church--the very Church Jesus said He would build, and of which He
is the living HEAD. DID Christ build it? DID it survive? DOES it
exist today?
Every day I receive many letters asking such questions. I do my
very best to get them answered, but they pile up on me, and in
spite of my best efforts many go unanswered. Very few have any
conception of the heavy load I have to carry.
The very purpose of establishing Ambassador College was to
provide called and trained ministers to aid me in this large and
growing world-wide ministry. A number have been graduated during
the past three years, and now I have a few fine young ministers,
fully qualified and ordained, men I know from years of close
personal association, and by the way God has already used them, are
men called by Christ to His ministry. They are now experienced,
and competent.
It so happens that two of these ministers will be available
during the next few weeks to visit some of our interested
co-workers in their homes in the Los Angeles area. They are
Roderick C. Meredith, and Raymond F. McNair. I'm sure you have
read some of their inspiring articles in the PLAIN TRUTH.
I would like to have one or both of these men call on you, get
acquainted, and answer any questions you might wish to ask,
provided you would like to have them call.
So I am first writing you, to see whether you desire them to
come. If you do, BE SURE to start right now jotting down on paper
all the questions that come to mind you might wish to ask. You'll
probably forget them if you don't. I am very happy to send these
men as my personal representatives, and as the ministers and
servants of Jesus Christ. I know you will enjoy knowing them.
If you would like a call from one or both of these ministers,
