PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, MAY 14, 1982
PAGE 13
In the meantime would appreciate a little prayer for us here••••
All the best to you and your crew. Warm regards!
God speed the day when people in nations of the world will get their emo­
tions "in tow," receive God's Spirit, and set their collective sights on
productive, worthwhile efforts.
It's interesting in this light that the British troops aboard the Canberra
have been prepared for all the possible pitfalls and dangers when they
finally "hit the beach" on the Falklands.
Specifically, they have been
warned to avoid the elephant seal wallows, deceptively concealed sloughs of
sluffed off seal skins mixed with exrement and pools of urine, which can
suck a man to his death in seconds, much more deadly than quicksand.
Nations too, unknowingly influenced by Satan, get sucked into wars and
great national tragedies, even without realizing it at times. Only when
nations quit wallowing in self-centered nationalism and relinquish their
sovereignty to a higher power--the Kingdom of God--will we have world
peace.
