Appreciation for the Second Ministerial Refreshing Program
Dear Mr. Armstrong:
My wife and I attended the Refreshing Program last August. We
appreciated the meaty information and have gone over our notes
many times since we returned. We've been able to utilize the in
formation in many practical ways in order to serve God's people
here in Buffalo. Thanks very much for the very fine program. We
are deeply thankful, as well, for the loyal teachers and advisors
that God has provided to assist you at Headquarters.
We were also gratified to see the "Behind the Work" film at the
Feast. It really helped to see how you interface with many peo
ple at Headquarters--this helped us to see you are so very
personally involved with all the vital aspects of God's Work. It
was very inspiring to see how enthusiastic you are about the many
areas of the Work!
Many brethren appreciated this about the
film. Our prayers are always with you.

Dear Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Tkach:
This letter has been long in corning but the subject has not es
caped our prayers or our hearts. We wish to thank you very much
for the second Refreshing Program, with its inspiring fellowship
and reaffirming and uplifting lectures. It seems the first Re
freshing Program highlighted our loyalty in God's Work and this
second one focused on our duties within the Work as His servants
of His people. We have made many positive changes in our own
lives as a result and are trying to establish more and more solid
work habits to really produce and get the job done. We are
continually inspired by your tireless example of service and are
honored to walk in your footsteps as you serve Christ.
