TOMORROW" is being listened to by so many more people IN AUSTRALIA
than any other religious program, the BIG-CITY Network is now being
opened to us! The Network we now use in Australia includes only
one smaller station in Sydney, and several small-city stations in
rural areas. But now the largest stations in Sydney, Melbourne,
and all the other larger cities are being made available. When we
are able to use all these stations, we will be reaching more than
85% of the entire population of that continent.
I told you about two months ago the time has come when we
must send out teams of evangelists to hold nightly evangelistic
campaigns. The first of these campaigns has just concluded in
Fresno, California. The five weeks' meetings there were conducted
by my elder son Richard D. Armstrong, and Roderick C. Meredith,
Associate Editor of The PLAIN TRUTH. There was a good interest,
and a number of conversations. God blessed their efforts with
spiritual fruit for His Kingdom. The second such campaign will
start in a few weeks in either Colorado or Kansas. It will be
conducted by Evangelist Raymond C. Cole, and Gerald Waterhouse.
Then Dick Armstrong and Mr. Meredith will start a series of
evangelistic campaigns in England in February.
The new college year is started. Ambassador College began
with 4 students, nine years ago. The second year we had 7, the
third year 12, the fourth year 22. This year we had 46 new
students, our largest incoming class so far, and 106 undergraduate
students, not counting graduate-school students.
It's like a miracle, in this way: What if these new
properties, of which I wrote you some two months ago, had not come
to us at this precise time. We would not have had room for these
students, and would not have had employment to offer them so they
could work their way thru college. But this addition of some 8 or
10 acres of magnificently landscaped grounds provides this
employment opportunity. Had these fabulous new properties come to
us a year sooner, we should have had no need for them, and should
have been unable to take proper care of the grounds. Had not this
largest influx of new students come to Ambassador College this
fall, we could not have occupied this large addition to our campus
even this year. GOD WORKED ALL THINGS TOGETHER JUST AS, AND WHEN,
NEEDED. Had not this large addition of students come to us this
year, the great new campaigns for which God is OPENING THE DOORS
could not be planned and carried out in the near future. Yes, it's
all certainly PROVIDENTIAL!
This is GOD'S WORK. The Living HEAD and Chief Director of
this entire work is JESUS CHRIST. He is now moving fast to step up
the pace of this glorious work.
Co-Workers, it's Christ's CHALLENGE to us!
It's important---necessary---that we get started soon on
DAILY T.V. Yet sufficient funds are not even in sight, as yet!
Here we are, nearing that dreaded last half of the month
again, when so often our hearts sink as we see the income of funds
for the work dropping off. We can once more be in a DANGEROUS
