Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
My son Garner Ted Armstrong and I have just visited the
superbly equipped studios of Radio Monte-Carlo. YOU are helping
send our voices ringing out Christ's own Message over these
tremendous facilities twice every week INTO RED RUSSIA!
This is the most powerful commercial radio station on earth--a
tremendous 400,000 watts. We were much impressed with their many
studios--two of them really large auditoriums for full symphony
orchestras and large audiences--others smaller for speaking only.
But our question is: are we going to be able to keep the
program on this world's most powerful station? What a miracle it
is! --to think God opened this giant door for us direct into
Communist Russia! From right here, on the scenic, beautiful blue-
green Mediterranean Sea our voices, recorded on tape in Pasadena,
California, are put on one of their many tape machines, and, from
the high transmitter tower on top of the mountain above Monte
Carlo, it is sent instantaneously many hundreds of miles directly
into uncounted thousands of Russian ears! We look up from here and
see the giant high tower that sends our voices. Of course, on one
program a week, it is not my voice or Garner Ted's, but that of a
Russian radio speaker in New York who has translated our Message
into Russian. One program each week is in my voice (or Ted's) in
English--the other in Russian.
Co-Workers, I want to THANK YOU, with more gratitude than I
can convey in words, for your good response to my last letter. I
am quite sure that as a result we did not have to go off of XEG,
our biggest American station--at least not as yet--though we may
have had to take the WORLD TOMORROW off of XERB or XELO, and we did
have to take it off of one of our stations in Portland, Oregon and
St. Louis, Missouri.
But the last report I had from our office before leaving
London yesterday was that receipt of tithes and offerings to keep
this great work going was dropping down again. So I have to stop
right here before leaving Monte Carlo, to write this letter and
tell you the seriousness of the situation, lest we do, yet, have to
go off some of the most important stations. Dear Co-Workers, we
just can NEVER let down or become forgetful of God's work. We must
keep it FIRST in our hearts, in our prayers, and in the way we
