Appreciation for the Refresher Program
Dear Mr. Armstrong:
Thank you very much for the opportunity to attend the refresher pro
gram. We have come back to our area on a spiritual "high," eager to
share the instruction with the brethren. What a thrill it was to see
unity and love among the brethren, students, and ministry at Pasadena.
And what a greater thrill it was to hear you in person and to see first
hand how God is inspiring you in a powerful way.
We want to especially thank all those who made our stay so enjoyable,
from Mr. Green and his kitchen staff, to the Blackwells who so gra
ciously opened their home to the ministry for an evening of fellow
ship. And thanks so much to the instructors who fed us spiritual meat
from the trunk of the tree. We are looking forward to the next re
fresher program with great anticipation.

Dear Mr. Armstrong:
The three-week refresher program was a very special time for us. We
saw and felt God's Spirit working among the ministry you've selected
to instruct us, and in the many who attended the eleventh session. God
is strengthening His ministry in a very positive and unified way in
those areas which are most important.
We are encouraged that the
refresher team is teaching us God's truth as He has taught you, devoid
of any vain philosophies of this world.
Thank you, Mr. Armstrong, for setting up the refresher program.
It
has far excelled any meetings or conferences we've ever had.
Our
sincere appreciation goes to those God has used to teach us. We felt
very privileged to have heard from you on three separate occasions-
commencement, your sermon, and the high point of the refresher program
when you addressed our group.
It is a great honor to have a part with you in this ministry. We,
personally and collectively as a church here in Windsor, Ontario,
support you wholeheartedly as you carry out the commission God has
given you.

Dear Mr. Tkach:
Please let Mr. Armstrong know how much we appreciate the time he took
from his busy schedule to lecture to us.
And thanks to all of the
instructors; they did a first-class job. We in the ministry have a
great calling and much work to do before the return of Christ. Hence,
