WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA
FROM MINISTERIAL SERVICES
International News
MAY 1, 1981
Canadian Update We normally experience a bit of a lull in finances just
before the Spring feast days--sure didn't happen this year! God's people
responded in a very generous way to Mr. Armstrong's letter mailed out mid
February. As mentioned earlier, that letter pushed February figures to a
29% increase in income and kept right on going. March is closed now and
shows a 41.4% increase over last year. The year-to-date increase now
stands at 27.7% over 1980. All indicators show that Mr. Armstrong's even
stronger letter of mid-March will make April a record-breaking month!
Plans are underway to immediately plow these funds into increased media
coverage. Mr. Hulme phoned this week to relate he has firmed up daily
radio for Newfoundland and television coverage in the Hailfax, Regina and
Winnipeg market area. We have needed better coverage in these areas for
some time and we anxiously await his return from additional points as he
works his way back home.
Mr. Adair, now getting "settled in" as the new Canadian director, com
pleted meetings with Mr. Neff and Mr. Tkach several weeks ago in Pasadena.
He announced an agreement reached pertaining to our financial assistance
to another area. The Canadian brethren will be pleased to know Canada
will once again be underwriting the Work in Scandinavia with $70,000
assistance in 1981. This adds to assistance already approved and imple
mented in the amount of: Philippines $90,000; France $50,000; Black
Africa $10,000.
Appreciation for the Refresher Program
Dear Mr. Armstrong:
My wife and I would like to express our most sincere thanks and deep
appreciation for having had the opportunity of attending the ninth
session of the Ministerial Refresher Program.
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, God is using you Mr. Armstrong to put
His Church back on the track. The instructions given to us by God's
ministers was top spiritual food, and we certainly want to use it in
feeding the flock God has put in our care here in the Caribbean.
Special thanks to Mr. Joseph Tkach, Mr. Dean Blackwell, Mr. Leroy
Neff, Dr. Hoeh and all others who took the time and effort to teach
us God's truth the way.you would want it.
Thanks also to Mr. Carlton Green and his staff who prepared those
excellent meals for us. As a result, we have returned to Barbados
somewhat heavier than when we left.
