WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD

PASADENA, CALIFORNIA
FROM MINISTERIAL SERVICES
1984 Feast of Tabernacles in China
NOVEMBER 23, 1983
Information has recently gone out to the members and pastors in the United
States and Canada from the Festival Office regarding the 1984 Feast of
Tabernacles in China. We are expecting an enthusiastic response from the
brethren.
In order to forestall any disappointment from overseas, we thought it best
to mention at this point that only U.S. and Canadian residents will be able
to attend the Feast in China.
This is to streamline the process of visa
approvals and such matters. Since the Chinese government is very careful
about groups entering the country, we thought it best to keep the process as
simple as possible this year.
If we are able to sponsor this type of
activity in future years, perhaps that restriction could be eased.
NOTICE TO MINISTERS IN THIRD WORLDAREAS
Second-hand Bibles Available
Do you have members or PMs in your churches who need
Bibles? Ambassador College Outreach, a service group
of Ambassador College students, would like to make
available to you free used Bibles for distribution to
those who have a genuine need.
These Bibles are
second-hand King James (Authorized),· New King James
(Revised Authorized) or Revised Standard versions
donated by members in the Pasadena area. Some may have
marked margins.
Please contact Mr. Rod Matthews in
Ministerial Services if you could use some.
Since
Outreach does not know if they can easily meet the
overall response, please restrict requests to the
actual number needed right now in your area.
International News
From Australia The backlog of mail which accumulated over the Feast period
has now been cleared.
During the September/October period over 30,000
letters were received and processed.
This count is slightly less than the number of letters received during the
same months in 1982, but demand for the Church's publications continues to
be high. During September and October we mailed out 50,329 envelopes con
taining literature to interested readers. This represents a 62.9% increase
over the same period last year.
