PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, March 13, 1981
ROBERT FAHEY EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT
TO HERBERT W. ARMST RONG
For years I have needed a personal assistant. My work load has
increased until it is now imperative. I have appointed Bob Fahey as my
executive assistant. He is here now, will soon move his family to Tucson,
and already we are working together as a smooth-running team.
Mr. Colin Adair, recently transferred to Vancouver from managing the
Manila Office and pastor over the churches in the Philippines, will suc
ceed Mr. Fahey over the Canadian work. He will continue the Work in
Canada in the same direction, in complete unity with Pasadena and Christ's
apostle.
In the Canadian churches, as in the United States, we have been
setting the Church back on God's track. This has been cleaning up the
membership so that while total membership has held about even, income
has increased about 25% for 1980, and is now increasing at a higher per
centage. Last year was the best year ever for Canada. Bob wants me to
explain that this increase came also from the efforts of Les McCullough
and David Hulme, as ·well as from his.
Following is a report to me from Mr. Fahey dated January 15, 1981:
Dear Mr. Armstrong:
Greetings from Vancouver to you and Mrs. Armstrong!
Since you have taken control once again of God's Work worldwide,
He seems to be working extra hard to bless it. That blessing is
certainly evident in the Canadian part of that Work. I thought I
would write you to share the good news!
1980 was the best year ever for the Canadian Office and churches.
By far!
Media coverage expanded greatly. A major contract was arranged with
CKO, an all-news radio station that gave us coverage in the major
city markets. Although we have enjoyed excellent radio coverage in
Canada for years, the major city markets have not been previously
available. CKO gave us 8:00 p.m. daily in their entire national net
work.
The World Tomorrow television program was reintroduced into Canada
in 1980. At present we are on 17 stations throughout the country.
We also signed a contract with Global Television, Canada's third
largest network. Global gives us excellent coverage in Southwestern
Ontario, particularly Toronto.
Radio and television coverage was obtained for Alaska and paid for
by the Canadian Office. We are presently on two radio and four
television stations there.
