PAGE 3
Greetings Mr. Tkach:
Just a long overdue note of thanks and appreciation for the Re
freshing Program we were able to enjoy and benefit from. Barb
and I send our deepest thanks to all at Headquarters for making
the entire program so "refreshing." Also a special thanks to Mr.
Armstrong for taking time to speak to all of us. That was well
worth the whole trip.
We were sincerely amazed and elated at the excellence displayed
throughout the College. surely, "our arm is strong."
Since returning home we have been busier than ever and are still
"munching" on our "neats."
Thanks again for everything. Our
prayers and thoughts are with you all at Headquarters.
Gene and Barbara Watkins
Comments From Monthly Church Reports
ANN ARBOR, MI--RAY WOOTEN: PM activity has been good for several
mor.ths. The telecast here has helped. Mr. Armstrong seems to be
more powerful on every broadcast, which certainly generates more
interest in people. They want to learn more about God and His
Kingdom.
HARRISON, AR--TOM BLACKWELL: All are impressed with what God does
through Mr. Armstrong at age 90, especially the job he does on
TV. It is good to see members saving second and third tithe
faithfully again.
CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO--JOHN CAFOUREK: PM acti11ity is beginning to
increase in the area. I have been hearing comments that many
people who are not members of the Church are captivated by Mr.
Armstrong's weekly telecast.
LAUREL, DE--DAVID REGISTER:
The PM's we've been contacting
lately are really top quality and their enthusiasm and presence
at Church is producing a renewed excitement among the membership.
Enthusiasm is running high at this time.
ROCHESTER, NY--LESLIE A. SCHMEDES: Mr. Armstrong's latest letter
had a sobering effect on the congregation. There is more of a
realization that this age is fast coming to a close. The result
is more unity.
SPRINGFIELD, MO--GEORGE A. MEEKER, JR.: The members are very
responsive to Headquarters and are especially interested in Mr.
Armstrong's activities and travels. They ask about his activi
ties frequently.
Mr. Armstrong's latest sermon tape was out
standing. Also the new BIBLE STORY volume is quite impressive.
BAKER, OR--JEFF McGOWAN: Most of the members appear to be doing
well spiritually, but unemployment appears to be a big problem in
the area because of the depressed construction industry. How
ever, those who apply Matthew 6:33 are having their needs provid
ed just as God faithfully promised. The family Bible studies
