The college has been started all over again from scratch--freshman
class only, except for retaining some loyal students who wanted to con
tinue and graduate. Now it is the same Ambassador College it was more
than ten years ago--GOD'S College. �was then, and is again, the ONLY
college, so far as I know, FULLY ACCREDITED--by GOD. My son and those
then around him wanted the accreditation of Satan's world. Getting rid
of PHDs and others from this world's universities, and their "tenure"
contracts cost the Work TWO MILLION DOLLARS--but was WELL SPENT! Other
policies UNAUTHORIZED and without authority from me or the Board, have
cost the Work another $2 million.
The PLAIN TRUTH has been set back on the track--and now look forward
to a great growth this year!
For the past ten years what has been called "HEADQUARTERS"--the staff
at Pasadena, and the Pasadena and adjacent area membership--was the one
greatest HEADACHE! It was well spiced with malcontents, liberals, "mem
bers" and ministers whose minds and hearts were filled with resentment,
bitterness, disloyalty, rebellion against THE GOVERNMENT OF GOD. Many
in other areas around the world never did realize the inroads Satan had
made right at Christ
I
s HEADQUARTERS! · But JESUS CHRIST brought me back
to life to CLEAN UP "that mess" (as some malcontents sneeringly called
it) at "HEADQUARTERS"! Pasadena is like a totally DIFFERENT PLACE today!
Now there is PEACE--JOY--UNITY--enthusiasm--loyalty--TOGETHERNESS! A
totally different spirit and atmosphere pervades the Pasadena campus
today.
Bible Study attendance had drcpped to a trickle, and Sabbath
attendance was shockingly down. Now the auditorium is well filled both
Friday nights and Sabbath, beside the Imperial gym.
This past year saw crashing down on that campus Sata.n' s "trump card"
--his big blow to destroy God's Church and College, through the power of
state government.
We are not out from under that foreboding cloud yet
--but it is "on the back burner"--so to speak, now, and the status quo is
allowing GOD'S WORK TO SURGE FORWARD IN THE GREATEST THRUST SO FAR!
Yes, we have suffered Satan's persecution and efforts to DESTROY the
Work of the living GOD, through Jesus Christ's guidance and power, and
at the same time made marvelous strides during this past year in setting
OURSELVES back on the track--a cocking of the gun, as it were, to trigger
the MOST POWERFUL LEAP AHEAD since this Work started in 1933!
HOW WE SHOULD THANK AND PRAISE
GOD!
He has surely been with us,
protected us, blest us!
This has been a year of weathering Satan's mightiest blows--
almost turning the headquarters area into liberalism, lukewarmness,
division, and hopelessness--as well as dimming the spirituality, close
ness to Christ and to God, and a general lukewarmness in the WHOLE CHURCH
--and Christ Himself has started the WHOLE CHURCH surging back into close
ness to Him, into hope, unity, and enthusiasm and spiritual INTEREST in
the Work.
In a word, it has been a year of weathering the storm not only, but
PREPARING ALL OF US SO THAT CHRIST CAN USE US IN THE FINAL THRUST TO
