Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
The mighty and glorious WORK OF GOD races on! Even
though we met tragedy and sorrow--even though we face the fierce
and wrathful opposition of Satan and his supernatural organization
of spirit principalities and powers--even though we encounter
temporary affliction, personal adversities, apparent set-backs,
nevertheless WE HAVE BEEN CALLED TO THE MIGHTY CLOSING WORK OF GOD
HERE AT THE END OF THIS WORLD, and we must yield ourselves fully
and completely into the hand of GOD, and press forward in and
through HIS almighty POWER, as HE guides and directs!
With Jesus, our HEAD and LEADER and MASTER, we say: "We
must work the work of Him that sent us while it is DAY: for the
night is soon coming, when no man can work." Time is growing
shorter and shorter! The task ahead of us in Christ's GREAT
COMMISSION remains huge.
Right now, dear Co-Workers, it is my unpleasant duty to
have to tell you that we are temporarily running many thousand
dollars behind with some three or four of our MOST IMPORTANT radio
stations--the very ones to which some two-thirds of all our
listeners tune for The WORLD TOMORROW program. Unless this is
caught up in the next week or two, we face being cut off the
air--for the first time since 1948! Some of you Co-Workers who
have been hearing the program since 1948 will remember that we were
cut off the air in March of that year, and did not get back on
until October.
IS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN!!--and will, unless you who are
Co-Workers with me--and all of us Co-Workers with CHRIST--unless
you respond as quickly as possible with more than ordinary
offerings, besides tithes!
It is very unpleasant to have to tell you, when many of
you have sacrificed so generously and unselfishly for the WORK OF
GOD, but the income for HIS work last month--during July--fell off
almost $2,000 a day under June. And so far in August it has not
picked up yet as it MUST to avert disaster to this great work.
This year God is blessing us with the BIGGEST harvest in
modern history. One of our coast-to-coast baptizing tours is
completed, with almost 200 baptized. Another team, still out, is
