PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, December 27, 1979

I've realized that yes, Satan is after each of us, individually, as
well as collectively! I really feel this should be ingrained in the
teen-agers' minds.
--Timothy R. Murphy (Plattsmouth, NE)
Thankful for Blessing of Children
Sitting in church last Sabbath during the blessing of the children,
I got to thinking and remembering when our children were blessed in
Big Sandy years ago and thankful for this service. Although our
children are grown now, I know God has been looking over them all
these years.
Almost a year ago (Nov. 24th, 78) our youngest daughter, Rebekah, who
at that time was 20 years old, was kidnapped by an escaped convict.
As it turned out, all he wanted was a ride to the home of his family.
We know that God was with her at the time. And I believe this bless
ing of the children is a vital service of the church. It is really
needed to protect our children from so much in this world.

End Time Prophecy Unfolding
It is obvious now to anyone that understands prophecy, that God is
no longer holding back events prophesied to take place in the near
future. Listening to the news is like reading Daniel 8. I just hope
it is over fast so that God's Kingdom can be set up and we can all
live in peace.
--Diane Heller (Jacksonville, FL)
There have been so many significant developments in the world
recently--the Pope's visit and his other travels, and now especially
in the Middle East and Israel. It is really shocking but we cannot
help but realize we are nearing the end of this system and there
seems to be deterioration on every side.
--Miss Morva Atthowe (Berkeley, CA)
