PASTOR GENERAL'S
REPORT
TO THE MINISTRY OF THE
WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD
VOL.3, N0.10
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA
T.V. POWERHOUSES ADDED
by
Herbert W. Armstrong
MARCH 6, 1981
We are already launching out on the new lunge forward as we come in
on the homestretch of God's Work for this END Time.
Last week we were able to obtain time on Chicago's number one TV
station, WGN. This week two more major TV stations in major markets have
been added: KOA, Denver, and KCMO, Kansas City. Each of these is the
number one station in its area.
More than 25 years ago when I was on KCMO TV, fall of 1955, our pro
gram had a higher viewing rating than the "TONIGHT" show, now hosted by
Johnny carson--then hosted by Steve Allen, even though the NBC show had
an earlier and better time slot than I did.
More stations will continue to be added.
Ministers' Salaries
I am concerned about ministers' salaries. The current budget for
this calendar year projects a 5% increase in ministers' salaries--also
a possible additional 5% increase, and a possible 10% increase over pre
sent projections if it becomes possible.
I very much want to make it still larger if increased income allows.
However, to make possible this new drive in the homestretch of the Work,
I am having to ask all members to make extra sacrifices, tighten their
belts, increase the Work's income to provide the increased expense of more
and more TV outlets, larger newsstand circulation of the P.T., and in
creased purchase of advertising space in mass-circulation magazines and
newspapers to get Christ's Gospel Message before additional millions of
people. In view of this it may be necessary for you ministers to forego
a still larger increase during this year. If so, I do want to make proper
increases just as soon as the budget allows.
