of 30 beautifully landscaped acres, just 5 short miles from the
edge of London!
The time has come to establish a branch of Ambassador
College in England, to prepare young men and women whom God is
calling over there for places in this fast-growing WORK OF GOD in
England and Europe--and perhaps in South Africa and Australia! We
are now training 5 men from England, one from South Africa, and one
from Brazil, and 2 from Germany--beside several from Canada--at
Ambassador College in Pasadena.
This 30-acre property is so perfectly adapted to our need--
both for a Liberal Arts co-ed COLLEGE in England, and for our
offices--it seemed as if God had caused them to plan and build it
just for us!
I also mentioned in my Copenhagen letter that Garner Ted
Armstrong was to visit Australia and the Philippines in November.
Well, November is here. And Ted, with two other men from Pasadena
Headquarters, is right now in Sydney, Australia. But THERE IS MUCH
MORE! A far bigger reason has developed for their presence there.
I mentioned in the Copenhagen letter that we were
broadcasting over a national Network in Australia once a week.
CHRIST HAS SINCE OPENED A TREMENDOUS DOOR IN AUSTRALIA! We are now
on that Network EVERY NIGHT--six nights a week! This progress in
God's Work is simply breath-taking! It has made it imperative to
open a big mailing office in Sydney immediately to handle the great
burst of additional mail and requests for literature!
With Ted in Sydney are the two men who managed our London
office until a year and a half ago. They are well trained and
experienced--graduates of Ambassador College. Ted will fly back
home as soon as he has them established there--you'll be hearing
him again on the broadcast.
Many other developments have added to the world-wide POWER
of God's Work since last June. While in London, we applied to
Reader's Digest, British edition, for the purchase of two full
pages of advertising space every issue to present a powerful GOSPEL
MESSAGE to their millions of readers. At least four or five
million people read this magazine in the British Isles. That is
certainly more than every tenth adult in the British Isles! As you
probably know, Reader's Digest has by far the largest circulation
of any publication on earth. They have some 30 or 40 different
editions in most of the nations around the world--published in many
different languages. Thru this mass-circulation influential
magazine, we can thus carry CHRIST'S Gospel to many nations in many
languages we cannot reach effectively by radio. I have right here
in my hands, as I write, our very first double-spread two-page
message, in the November, 1959, Reader's Digest, British edition!
Since I last wrote you, several super-power and important
radio stations have been added, here in the United States. We now
reach the southern half of Florida daily, have added Idaho's
leading station, KIDO, and have added the major 50,000-watt
stations, WSM, Nashville, and KCKY, Cincinnati. (Be sure to see
