PAGE 2
April and May being "summer" months in the Philippines, several Summer
Educational Program (S.E.P.) camp-outs were held at five sites. Two were
on the main island of Luzon, two in the Visayan group of islands, and one on
Mindanao. All in all, about 200 youths in God's Church attended the pro­
gram.
Appreciation for the Refresher Program
Dear Mr. Armstrong:
This letter is to thank you very much for the opportunity my wife and I
had to attend the ninth refresher program in Pasadena. It has been
three and a half years since we were last in Pasadena and the change in
the atmosphere we experienced showed us that there has been a major
change towards both unity and enthusiasm for God's Work at headquar­
ters. The students also seem to be a very happy and turned-on group
and are good ambassadors for the college.
We really appreciated the well-prepared and practical lectures that
were given by those who are striving to support and uphold you in every
way. The three weeks of classes were very inspiring and helpful and
will go a long way towards bringing about that unity in the ministry
wo�ldwide so that we might all speak the same thing.
Thank you also for coming to Australia and spending time with us
despite your busy schedule. We were very grateful to you for the very
profitable ministerial conference where we all had the opportunity to
see and hear from you, as well as to hear you preach at services.
Thanks again for everything Mr. Armstrong.

My wife and I would like to express our appreciation for the oppor­
tunity to attend the tenth session of the Ministerial Refresher Pro­
gram. This was our first time to be on the Ambassador College campus
in Pasadena. The college was very beautiful, but there was something
much more beautiful than the college campus. That was the positive
attitude of the ministers, and how each one is back of you 100%.
The great highlight of the trip was being able to see and hear you
three times while we were there. We really appreciated your taking
time from your busy schedule and coming to one of our classes and
instructing us.
We also want to thank Mr. Tkach and the other instructors that took the
time to instruct us in God's way of life. Mr. Armstrong, these men are
very loyal and dedicated.
They were holding your hands up high.
These classes really meant a lot to my wife and me as they will help us
to assist our minister much better in our local area.
