The HARVEST is plenteous! GOD IS WORKING! He is working
in and thru this great work of His to which He has called YOU as a
Co-Worker with me and with Christ! Jesus Christ is on God's Throne
directing, blessing this great work--opening new doors--convicting
the hearts of thousands whom God has CALLED, bringing them to
repentance, and to FAITH!
Somewhere between 5% and 10% of our Co-Workers are now out
of work--they have no income--they cannot now send in their tithes
and offerings. THE REST OF US MUST SACRIFICE A LITTLE MORE--send
in a LITTLE EXTRA if this great work is to survive and carry on!
Right now we are running about $12,000 short of the normal
income for this time of month--about $12,000 less than in January,
February, March and April. THIS IS SERIOUS! God's precious work
can't carry on at this rate.
I know that many of you who are not out of work have been
slacking off--possibly because heavy pressures of responsibilities
on me personally have delayed sending this letter some three weeks.
I HAVE TO ASK YOU TO MAKE THIS UP! I have to ask EVERY CO-WORKER
to give up something else, and send in as much as possible IN
ADDITION to regular tithes and offerings--a LARGER than ordinary
amount. I'm sure everyone can send in a little something EXTRA if
you are willing. IT IS NOW DESPERATELY URGENT!
Some very FEW of you have larger sums of money you COULD
put into God's work at this time--perhaps a thousand or several
thousand dollars. This is one of those times when it is
desperately NEEDED! God is doing HIS part--He won't do yours or
mine--He expects YOU and me to do ours. This is a large part of
our spiritual training for eternity! I NEED YOUR URGENT, HEART-
RENDING, PREVAILING PRAYERS RIGHT NOW! Let's wake up, and be about
our Father's business! God bless you! And THANK YOU from the
bottom of my heart!
With love,
Herbert W. Armstrong
P.S. May I just add that God has blessed
Mrs. Armstrong and me with our TENTH
grandchild--little 8-pound Richard David
Armstrong II, born May 15th--Mr. and Mrs.
Richard D. Armstrong's first child.
Ted has THREE sons!
