even though you may have no specific assigned duties at the site your con­
gregation will be attending.
Only those who are requested to fill a need at another site will be per­
mitted to transfer.
However, if you feel there are extenuating circum­
stances in your case, please send a written request and explanation to
Ministerial Services for consideration.
All international ministers re­
questing transfer should send their requests to their Regional Directors.

Personal Computers and God's Ministry
With the current popularity of personal computers, some of our ministers
have expressed an interest in purchasing and using their own microcom­
puters. Some men have already been using such equipment for some time. Mr.
Norman Smith is an example of one who has a background in the field, and has
found a personal computer system useful.
Although the official position of the Church is to neither encourage nor
discourage the use of personal computers by the ministry, there are several
important factors for us as ministers to consider before joining the rush
to the nearest personal computer store. Proper selection is an important
factor. Cost is a major factor. But even more important is the commitment
of time. Time to learn, time to practice, and time to maintain.
