PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, March 7, 1980
Page 2
The brethren in that part of the world certainly do need all our continued
prayers. They do face incredible difficulties which are unknown in the
Western World. And so they welcome and appreciate the prayers and care
and concern of the brethren elsewhere. They certainly reciprocate in
their concern for God's Work and His flock worldwide.
--Joe Tkach
PUBLISHING SERVICES UPDATE
We would like to bring you up to date concerning the printing and distri
bution of Mr. Armstrong's book, THE WONDERFUL WORLD TOMORROW, to The PLAIN
TRUTH list. If you remember, this book was offered several months ago in
Mr. Armstrong's semiannual letter mailed to subscribers of The PLAIN TRUTH
worldwide.
The book is, at the moment, being printed here in the United States and
we will be distributing 255,500. This figure is the amount needed to ful
fill our requests on a worldwide basis.
There is a good reason why the printing and distribution of the book for
the overseas areas is also being handled from the United States. After
looking at all the postal figures, we found that it was cheaper and faster
doing it here in the U.S. because our international postal rates are still
cheaper than some other areas' domestic postal rates.
The book will be printed and inserted into a carton, labeled and put into
the mail here in the United States for the following areas: The United
States--146,000; Australia/New Zealand--27,000; Asia--15,000; United
Kingdom--8,000; South Africa--15,000; Canada--17,500; Philippines--5,000;
Europe/Scandinavia--5,500; all other areas of the world--4,000. We hope
to have the book in the mail by the end of March.
MAIL COMMENTS
This week's comments focus on Mr. Armstrong's January 23rd co-worker
letter and Mr. Gerald Waterhouse's visits to local churches.
H.W.A. Letter of January 23rd Encourages Readers
After having completed reading the letter from you, I was filled
with a sense of urgency to overcome now more than ever. With
myself, it seems Satan is trying so hard to present obstacles that
will prevent me from doing God's will. But this only certifies the
fact of the necessity to pray and fast more intensively than ever.
--Mrs. Morris Owings, Jr. (Sylacauga, AL)
I received your four-page most important letter dated January 23,
1980. No one on this earth but you knows the important truth of
what is to happen. I thank God the Almighty Creator that He has
given His only apostle all this truth. In turn, thank you for
passing it on to me.
