Appreciation for the Second Ministerial Refreshing Program
Dear Mr. Armstrong:
Even though this is a little late, my wife and I did want to let
you know of our deep appreciation for the second Ministerial Re
freshing Program.
As in the last program, we found the courses just filled with
very helpful and useful material on how to accomplish a better
ministry. We certainly learned a lot that the brethren will be
able to benefit from. We would sincerely like to thank all those
who gave of their time so generously to make this program a suc
cess.
Again, it was an inspiration to be at Headquarters and to drink
in of the atmosphere there. One thing we especially noticed in
the departments we visited this time was the high quality of the
equipment and of the work being done. This was a wonderful ex
ample for us to follow.
Thank you for everything, Mr. Armstrong.
The Ministerial
Refreshing Programs certainly do a great deal of good for us.

Dear Mr. Tkach:
Although this may be a bit tardy, we wish to express our thanks
and deepest appreciation for the fourteenth session of the Minis
terial Refreshing Program number two. This was certainly no mere
"second time around
II
but very definitely a rich and rewarding
second phase of Mr. Armstrong's unceasing effort to increase and
strengthen the effectiveness of God's worldwide ministry.
Without detracting one iota from any other part of the session,
let me say that the presentations given by Mr. Hulme and Mr.
Matthews, describing the amazing increase in television and PLAIN
TRUTH coverage worldwide, were so inspiring that we could plainly
visualize the mighty hand of God moving to open doors (and minds)
around the globe.
An extra special treat was just to enjoy the privilege of sharing
the enthusiasm of the entire French ministry. It was surely like
"icing on the cake" to see such zest and excitement.
Thank you and the entire staff for a most exhilerating and help
ful two weeks away from the world on the beautiful campus of Am
bassador College. With all our love and support for Mr. Arm
strong, we look forward to MRP #3 with great anticipation.
Robley and Marguerite Evans
