PASTOR'S REPOR�
PUBLISHED BY THE WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD
VOL. 2, NO. 22
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA
Greetings Again Pastors Worldwide:
JUNE 19, 1978
Mr. Herbert Armstrong spoke to a combined audience in Pasadena
this past Sabbath. The auditorium was filled and the sermon was seen
by many hundreds more via closed-circuit television in the college
and Imperial gymnasiums.
The sermon was taped in order to be televised as part of a series
of telecasts Mr. Armstrong is producing. He said the program being
made this past Sabbath was the seventh of this current series.
It was great to see the power and depth Mr. Armstrong is putting
into his sermons. If any have wondered whether he is physically up
to fulfilling the work he has before him, then he should witness just
one of Mr. Armstrong's appearances before the church. God certainly
is giving him clarity, alertness, power and inspiration.
On Sunday afternoon, Mr. Armstrong performed the marriage ceremony
for Mr. and Mrs. Rader's daughter, Carol, and her husband, Larry Little,
at the Rader
home. Later Sunday evening Mr. Armstrong returned to
his home in Tucson.
Mr. Armstrong has informed me that he intended to return to
Pasadena this next Sabbath to preach to the combined headquarters
churches on the day declared as a day of fasting throughout the church.
Another of the major events that has taken place this week has
been the naming of Mr. Dibar Apartian to the position of Director of
the French Work worldwide. Mr. Herbert Armstrong made the appointment
and asked Mr. Apartian to proceed immediately to Europe to address
himself to needs in the French language churches.
After Mr. Apartian returns from Europe, perhaps we can have a
more detailed report concerning the success of his trip and the status
of the French Work of God.
Sorry for the brevity of this letter. These Pastor's Report copy
deadlines come around very quickly. With the many appointments, tele­
phone calls and other time-demanding duties, it's difficult to keep
up with everything.
God is with us! Christ is our leader! We are His servants!
There is no need for fear or doubt. Please "be strong in the Lord."
Pray for guidance and set an example of dedication and resolve before
God's people. Our prayers are with you. Please pray for Mr. Armstrong
and others of us as God's Work is performed.
