DATELINE JERUSALEM: MR. ARMSTRONG MEETS MIDEAST LEADERS
NOVEMBER 7, 1980
Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong and Mr. Stanley R. Rader were received today (Nov.
3rd) by Prime Minister Menachem Begin.
Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Rader arrived several days ago from Cairo where they
had met with ranking members of the Egyptian government to discuss various
efforts of the Egyptian people to bring about peace in the Middle East
and better understanding with its neighbor Israel.
In a forty-five minute televised meeting with the Prime Minister of Israel,
Mr. Armstrong expressed his concern that nothing should prevent the people
of Israel and its neighbors from achieving its goals of a lasting peace
for the entire area.
Mr. Armstrong and the rest of his party will return to Cairo on Sunday
(Nov. 9th) where another televised meeting will take place, this time with
President Sadat.
FROM MINISTERIAL SERVICES
Letters of Appreciation for Ministerial Refreshing Program
Dear Mr. Armstrong:
Through this note I want to join all the others who have been in on
the "Refreshing Program" in expressing my sincere appreciation and
heartfelt gratitude for having been given the opportunity.
I am awed when I think of all the sessions--how they all dovetail
with each other with just the right subject and content. We truly
needed each and every one--including the Defensive Driver's Course.
The awe I feel is the realization that only God could have worked
out such a balanced and meaningful program.
Coupled with this--God's wonderful spirit that has been so evident
with everyone--love, harmony, unity, warmth, real brotherhood. We
have had another pre-millennial feast.
To make the picture complete we have been blessed to have had this
opportunity--not in some Babylonian city--but right here at God's own
college. The beautiful grounds, buildings; warm, happy, cheerful
students and employees are an inspiration in themselves. God's
spirit is certainly here.
The men who have not yet had this opportunity have someth�ng very
special and wonderful to which they can look forward.
