1981 Highlights From Spanish-speaking Areas The year 1981 was truly one of
growth unprecedented in the history of the Work of God in the Spanish
language. Inspired by Mr. Armstrong's leadership and the sense of urgency
in getting Christ's message to the world, God's Work is steadily surging
ahead in all Spanish-speaking areas.
Despite high inflation and internal strife in some nations, income in­
creased 55% over 1980. Active co-workers increased by 23% and donors by
14%.

during 1981:
1) Most baptisms in one year--113.
(31% increase over 1980).
2) Highest festival attendance--1,645.
(31% increase over 1980).
3) Most new subscribers added in one year--78,870.
