they may find themselves packing bags and going home! I believe
that the co-workers don't really realize the situation. They have
read the wonderful letters and heard of the wonderful response from
Europe. They have heard that we are still squeezing through and
are going to make it. Instead of inspiring faith and sacrifice and
perseverance, it seems that this wonderful news puts many of them
to sleep of the real danger!"
Co-workers, WHAT CAN I SAY? Are we like the people of
Moses' day? When God called Moses away from the people on a
mission to Mt. Sinai, the people said: "As for Moses, we know not
what is become of him." They FORSOOK God.
Seven years ago when I was called to Europe in God's work,
many co-workers forsook God! YOU must realize God's work is and
must be WORLD WIDE. On the other hand, the people responded so
generously to Moses' appeal for funds that Moses was forced to send
out a proclamation restraining them from sending more. How about
TODAY? Shall we desert God or respond generously--and take
responsibility on our shoulders and really place ourselves under
the burden of prayer in real earnest--as the personal
responsibility of each one?
If, by the grace of God, we are still on the air, we can
squeeze thru this final bottleneck of crisis--but only by real
prayer and sacrifice. Many new co-workers have already begun to
join us from among the network listeners. But YOU must not grow
weary of well doing in this SUPREME TEST of faith and patience.
THIS IS NO "WOLF! WOLF!" CRY!
It is heartbreaking to have to write so urgently, but the
circumstances are forced upon me. By the authority of Christ I
must call for overwhelming response as NEVER BEFORE. DO YOUR PART
TO THE UTMOST AND PRAY INTENSELY that God will move the hearts of
others to send what you cannot. May God bless you--I know YOU
WILL!
Sincerely in Jesus' name,
