PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, OCTOBER 15, 1982
PAGE 2
to meet many of God's ministers at Headquarters and from other
lands.
My wife Rosalia and I want to thank you and all the staff who took
part in the lectures from the bottom of our hearts. We also want
to thank all the ministers for the sermons they gave in the three
Sabbath services we attended there. The Refreshing Program was
really very refreshing, very reviving, very strengthening and
very renovating. We are renewed. The subjects covered are very
vital and important. They teach us the reality of our responsi
bilities in the ministry. They gave us material for our sermons
to God's flock for many months and years. In fact,
I
have already
given a part of the subject "prophecy" to God's congregation last
Sabbath.
In the Headquarters of God's Church, we observed and saw the
unity of the Spirit, love, service, friendship, dedication and
determination.
Everybody working hard, especially you Mr.
Armstrong. We saw how God is using you all in God's Church Head
quarters. Our belief that we are living at the end time is con
firmed.
We can confirm the truth that God has chosen you Mr.
Armstrong as His apostle to finish the Work, and to warn this
troubled world of the true gospel of the Kingdom of God. We are
chosen by God also to be behind you to hold up your hands to do
the Work. We are most blessed in the Work. We want to thank you
Mr. Armstrong for ordaining me in the ministry many years ago in
Pasadena, and your confirmation of my ministry while you were
here in Manila last February, 1982.
Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Tkach, thank you again.
Pedro and Rosalia Ortiguero
Dear Mr. Tkach:
Greetings from Strasbourg, France! This is a belated big "thank
you" for the wonderful Refreshing Program my wife and
I
attended
last June. Classes were really encouraging and uplifting, giving
us a boost of enthusiastic zeal! As soon as we moved here from
Belgium, I was able to use the material given.
Olivier and Sue Carion
Dear Mr. Tkach:
Thank you for coordinating such an inspiring refresher on behalf
of Mr. Armstrong. And thanks to all the other dedicated people
who helped with such a wonderful program.
We are all such insignificant specks in the whole plan of God,
and at times
wife and I have to pinch ourselves, realizing
that God has actually chosen us to be involved in the most
important job on earth. What a privilege it is to assist in
teaching the royal family of God.
