PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, MARCH 19, 1982

the doors to carrying the true Gospel as Christ's Messenger--one "sent
forth" as an apostle--to leaders in those nations.
For the next seven years I was away from P�sadena headquarters on this
Great Commission up to 300 out of the 365 days of the year.
Meanwhile, leaving the day-to-day administration of the Church and
College to others at Pasadena, both Church and College were getting sadly
OFF TRACK. The Church was going "liberal," watering down doctrines and
God's TRUTH. The College was becoming just another "rubber stamp" of this
world's colleges. The faculty was being loaded with professors from out
side the Church, educated in universities of this world.
The
evil of
"tenure" was introduced in an effort to become "accredited" as one of this
world's type institutions. The student body was growing beyond the numbers
I had set. Illicit sex, drugs and abuses were fast entering the campus.
In August, 1977, my travels came to a sudden end with TOTAL HEART
FAILURE! For many months I was bedridden. I had to learn to walk all over
again. I was then living in Tucson, recuperating. I was becoming aware of
what had been kept from me--the satanic state that was fast infiltrating
the Church and College. I began removing some officials who were, perhaps
without realizing it, being deceived by Satan, at the helm of the Work at
Pasadena.
With my typewriter, from Tucson, I began PUTTING THE CHURCH AND WORK
BACK
"ON
Track!"
I CLOSED DOWN Ambassador College as then organized and operated. I
put Mr. Raymond McNair in charge as Deputy Chancellor, and we started the
College all over again with a freshman class only. The "outside" faculty
members were terminated--a costly procedure, for they were on "tenure."
I began vigorously to put the Church back "ON TRACK" spiritually from
Tucson.
By January, 1981, I began to find abuses I had surmised in supporting
services to be true. I prayed seriously, fervently, earnestly and contin
uously for days, that God would not let me MISjudge some in leading
positions of wrong doing or wrong motives, IF what began to seem apparent
was not in fact true.
I had placed great confidence in certain high
subordinates.
But as the living Christ led me, it became apparent that in putting
God's Work back on track, certain personnel changes must be made in the sup
porting services, as well as spiritual.
I found it necessary to return to the home in Pasadena and take
personal charge at headquarters.
I will let Mr. Helge's report relate the facts from there.
