Appreciation for the Second Ministerial Refreshing Program
Dear Mr. Armstrong:

We felt a new spirit of love wherever we were on the campus, which
was even greater than when we were in on our first session. We
believe many members are growing stronger and more dedicated at
this time.

Dear Messrs. Armstrong and Tkach:
My wife and I wish to express our deepest thanks for the oppor
tunity of being part of the eleventh session of the Refreshing
Program.
As a local elder, I feel this has been our greatest
thrill in the 20 years we have been associated with God's Work. I
just wish the whole Church here could have been with us to hear
and to see what a great worldwide Work we are involved in. We
appreciate not only the subject matter of the lectures, but also
the spirit of cooperation and service that is evident throughout
the whole campus; and it's certainly wonderful to see the love
you ministers have for one another. Also, our thanks go to you
Mr. Armstrong for your leadership and dedication. We hope that
other local elders will have an opportunity to take advantage of
this spiritual blessing.

Dear Mr. Tkach:
My wife and I recently returned from the second Refreshing Pro
gram, session number 12. To us it was more than a Refresher but
also a Revivifier!
We were very impressed by the extremely high standards being set
and the constant striving for improvement in each department at
Headquarters. The air of respect and cooperation••. "May I help
you?" attitude was terrific! The privilege of being given the
opportunity to imbibe such an atmosphere was greatly appreciated
and we found it very hard to leave.
The course was packed with information and inspiration and the
attitude expressed by those attending was definitely one of unity
and outgoing concern in fulfilling a common goal. Please extend
our heartfelt thanks to God's Apostle for making all this possi
ble, enabling us to better serve in our local area.
