establish the college. This also provides adequate office space
for our fast-expanding London office. Our London office manager
told me the saving in office rent will more than pay for this fine
property.
Thus GOD has providentially opened to us a superb,
magnificently landscaped 10-acre college campus, only five miles
from the edge of London, walking distance from suburban train, with
a fine, stately, 33-room college building, with ample classrooms,
and offices and mailing rooms--and without putting any financial
burden on our United States and world-wide work from Pasadena
headquarters!
Co-Workers, the way God continues to BLESS His work and to
lead the way just fills me with awe, with gratitude, and almost
chokes me with emotion! Constantly CHRIST shows us that HE is IN
this great work--guiding it--blessing it! WHAT A PRIVILEGE for us
to have a part in it--to be co-workers WITH CHRIST HIMSELF!
I hope it fills your heart with joy and thanksgiving, too, as
it does mine--and inspires you to PRAY HARDER for this great work
--to sacrifice more so you can GIVE more if you have not already
done that, as I know many of you have--but far from all!!
I am typing this letter in Monte Carlo, and will airmail it to
Pasadena, where it will be reprinted and mailed on to YOU! I hope
to be back home before you receive this, or a day or so after.
Dear Co-Workers, God gives us a real DEEP-DOWN satisfaction
and thrill of JOY with the results HE grants from our efforts and
the tithes and offerings we put at HIS disposal! While I have been
writing this, SIX of our baptizing teams of two men each have been
burying in the watery grave SEVERAL more precious lives that have
repented of their own ways and transgressions of God's way, and
prayed over them, laying on hands for the receiving of the Holy
Spirit, just as the early apostles and disciples did at the
beginning of God's Church. More than TWO THOUSAND have written me
requesting baptism by these teams of dedicated and called men this
summer. IT IS BY FAR THE GREATEST HARVEST OF LIVES SPIRIT-BEGOTTEN
FOR GOD'S KINGDOM OF ANY YEAR IN OUR TIME! Rejoice and praise God
with me!
Finally, remember the one real trial is to get in enough money
to keep these baptizing teams going--to stay on the air around the
world--to pay the huge bill for printing some 225,000 copies of The
PLAIN TRUTH and mailing them, and all the other expenses of this
great and ever-growing work!
Remember the receipt of money began to slump off again. The
need is still GREAT--and desperate. We still need LARGE sums from
the very few who have that ability--and every widow's mite from
those who do not have more. CHRIST makes every dollar produce BIG
results for His Kingdom--which is lasting and for ETERNITY! Please
PRAY more earnestly and believingly than ever before! WON'T you
pray for me, personally, and Garner Ted, and all our staff? Satan
would destroy us in a minute if God would allow--and we need the
PROTECTION that results from believing PRAYER!
