all the magazines and literature are mailed to radio listeners.
And also our "Co-Worker Department," where a staff of girls keep
careful and accurate records of all tithes and offerings you send.
Also our Letter-Answering Department; most of the Mail-Receiving
Department; and the Correspondence Course Department. Each of
these departments employs a staff of several people.
But we are not getting off without spending any money at
all on this new office building. It requires certain necessary
alterations, and several new partitions, and this will cost at
least several hundred dollars, altho it may save us more than
$100,000. Our business office, bookkeeping and auditing
department, and offices of some of our ministers and college
administrators will remain in and completely fill our present
office building.
This need of buildings and alterations is DESPERATE. It's
now a race against time. I am forced, dear Co-Workers, to call
upon you for more sacrifice than ever, and for ADDITIONAL, and
SEPARATE SPECIAL OFFERINGS, just for this BUILDING FUND. Send this
in addition to regular tithes and offerings:
REMEMBER, all this is a vital PART of God's work of getting
the Gospel to the world! But I feel we should raise a separate
fund for it. And so NOW,--- all together---let's give this
building program, and this constantly expanding GOSPEL program the
biggest shove and "heave-HO" we ever put into God's work!
Just think! In all probability, inside of less than 25
years, (tho I set no dates) CHRIST WILL BE HERE RULING IN PERSON---
WE SHALL HAVE WORLD PEACE---PROSPERITY---HAPPINESS---JOY! But
before that, God's prophecies tell us this UNITED EUROPE shall
rise, and invade and DESTROY the United States---the most TERRIBLE
world catastrophe of all history shall have struck---and OUR WORK
MUST HAVE BEEN FINISHED! We may have another 15 years for our
work---but probably no more, and compared to what MUST YET BE DONE,
we have only JUST STARTED! There is not a day to lose! Your every
dollar COUNTS! No single dollar or two is too small---but at the
same time we need more LARGE offerings in the thousands of dollars!
AND I NEED YOUR EARNEST, HEART-FELT, PERSISTENT PRAYERS as never
before!
This burden of this GREAT NEED is more than I can bear
myself. I have to ask you for SPECIAL HELP---both in money, and in
prevailing, deadly-earnest PRAYERS that this need will be met!
Co-Workers, you've proved before that you will stand by me
in this crisis, and so I say in FAITH, in advance---GOD BLESS YOU
FOR THE EXTRA EFFORT AND SACRIFICE I KNOW YOU'LL GIVE, AND FOR YOUR
PRAYERS!
With gratitude and love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
