Comments From Monthly Church Reports
From the Caribbean
HAMILTON, BERMUDA--CECIL PULLEY: Members are becoming aware of
the need for more urgency in their spiritual lives. Many are now
redoing the Bible correspondence course and going over many of
the Church's booklets. Church attendance is increasing as more
and more people are becoming aware of the Church.
GEORGETOWN, GUYANA--PAUL KRAUTMANN:
Family, financial and un
employment problems are the most prevalent trials among members
presently. Most are striving to overcome, but some are taking a
long time to get moving.
BRIDGETOWN, BARBADOS--ARNOLD HAMPTON: We are now on radio three
times a day, and are awaiting results. The Church is excited
about the possibility of getting on TV here again.
From the United States
SANTA FE, NM--WALTER DICKINSON: The members continue to be re
sponsive to the direction Jesus Christ is giving to the Church
through Mr. Armstrong. All recognize more fully how the end of
this age is approaching faster than many had thought. They are
sobered by this realization.
FAYETTEVILLE, AR--JOHN R. ELLIOTT: All the brethren are on their
toes and working with more diligence than ever as Mr. Armstrong
leads the way. A strong feeling of our being on the home stretch
is felt by all. The publications and the telecast are full of so
much meat these days. All are very inspiredl
ROCHESTER, NY--LESLIE SCHMEDES: Sensing that we are in the last
days, the congregation appreciates Mr. Armstrong's sermon tapes.
They realize that what he is giving them can only come from him,
and are most thankful.
ANN ARBOR, MI--RAY WOOTEN: Some of the brethren in the area have
been undergoing several pretty big trials. Most are handling the
pressures very well, and are still enthusiastic about God's work.
Mr. Armstrong's broadcasts about the impending holocaust and
about the Kingdom of God have generated a lot of interest.
