WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD

PASADENA. CALIFORNIA
CHANGES IN FOREIGN MINISTRY
by
Herbert W. Armstrong
JULY 18, 1980
Circumstances in the Foreign Work have necessitated certain changes
in the Foreign Ministry, to take effect immediately.
I
am sending Mr. Robert Fahey, formerly manager over the churches
and Work in South Africa,to take charge of the Work in Australia.
I
am
cancelling all services in all churches in Australia for this Sabbath,
July 19, as a day of fasting and prayer for peace and harmony in God's
Church over the Australian continent, and on the following Sabbath, July
26, combined services will be held in all cities where there is more than
one local congregation.
Mr. Gerald Waterhouse also is going immediately to Australia, to
preach to these combined church congregations in Australia. He has just
completed his tour speaking to churches throughout Canada, and will now
travel over Australia. Before Canada, Mr. Waterhouse spoke to every local
church in the United States, touring at the rate of some six or seven
churches every week.
Mr. Dibar Apartian had been removed as Director of the French Work,
and apparently for the sole reason that he was loyal to Christ's Apostle
and to Jesus Christ.
I
reinstated him, and now he is reinstated also
over the French-speaking churches in eastern Canada as he was before.
I am sending Mr. Larry Salyer, who has been pastor of the AM church
at Pasadena headquarters, as assistant to Mr. McCullough, second in charge
over all churches in Canada (except French-speaking).
There has been no office as Director of Foreign Work since
I
abol
ished the office of Pastoral Administration, although
I
have approved
two or three visits to overseas offices by Mr. Leslie McCullough. Super
vision over all foreign work continues to remain in Ministerial Services,
under my personal direction.
Mr. Dean Wilson is being transferred to be in charge of the three
churches in Portland, Oregon.
The Work of the living GOD continues to be SET BACK ON THE TRACK!
Meanwhile, in Ambassador College, Mr. Rod
c.
Meredith has returned
from his leave of absence and will teach 3rd-year Church of God Doctrines,
Epistles of Paul, and introductory Homiletics.
