have Mr. Armstrong's programmes covering his trips to Asia in early 1982
aired first. This will allow time for the Middle East situation to modify
before the other special programmes centering on that area of the world
begin to air.
Appreciation for the Second Ministerial Refreshing Program
Dear Mr. Armstrong:
I want to add my thanks to those of others for the second Refresh­
ing Program. Of course, it is of no value unless the information
that was covered is applied. We are doing that here.
I found it a wonderful blessing, an inspiration, and at the same
time a humbling experience to be allowed to learn from a number
of very dedicated leaders of the Work•••in the midst of one of
the most beautiful places on earth.

Dear Mr. Tkach:
One of the highlights of the last two Refreshing Programs has
been getting to know the Ministerial Services staff.
We have
certainly appreciated your forcefulness and leadership in these
past two years.
Refreshing Program session number seven was a very valued experi­
ence. True harmony and unity pervaded and it was great to see the
respect and camaraderie amongst the ministry.
Dr. Hoeh was at
his best again, especially in his perceptive talk on alcoholism.
Of course Mr. Armstrong's visit with the ministry was the high­
light. It is very comforting and strengthening to see the loyal
staff he has around him. His taped messages are deeply appreci­
ated. There is no doubt but that we serve under a lion-hearted
leader of the house of David!

Dear Mr. Tkach:
Thank you for allowing us non-ministers to participate in the Re­
freshing Program--a most enjoyable and profitable experience. It
has given me a high respect and appreciation for the job the min­
isters are doing.
Pastor Expresses Heartfelt Thanks
Dear Mr. Herbert Armstrong:
Dale Hanway
We are very appreciative of your enthusiasm and great efforts to
accomplish the Great Commission which has been given you by Jesus
Christ. Scarcely do you ever find a man half your age with the
kind of life and dynamism you possess. It is quite obvious to us
that God's Spirit is strongly leading you.
