FEBRUARY 6. 1978
To all Pastors of Churches Worldwide:
GREETINGS! Just returned from a very enjoyable trip to Jackson,
Mississippi, and a special Sabbath meeting with approximately eight
separate churches, and individuals from several others. I was unable
to stop in Tucson on our return, since the G-II developed a crack in
the right front windshield on our descent into Jackson. It cracked
even further on our takeoff and during the subsequent flight, and I
felt it was unwise to subject the windshield to depressurization
through another descent and landing, then repressurization again.
I called my father and spoke to him for nEiarly · an hour immediately
followin� my return to Pasadena. He was in good spirits, and was
looking forward to my visiting him as soon as possible, as well as
visits from some of our department heads here, and some of the
Sabbatical ministers.
Thought you would be encouraged to learn of the moves we are making
toward stimulating PMS: 1) Taking the radio/TV logs out of the PT,
and replacing with an ad (box) suggesting persons call in on WATS line
for info about the program in their area; and, also, that they can
call on WATS if they desire personal counselling with ordained ministe1.oi
near them. 2) Listing ·the WCG in both yellow and white pages through
out the country, with the WATS number, thus allowing callers to ask
for information concerning the local church and/or pastors. 3) Estab
lishing a WCG Visitors' Information Center in the Office Facilities
Building, which will be renamed, with appropriate signs, "WORLDWIDE
CHURCH OF GOD--Office Facilities Building." The center will feature
worldwide maps of churches, offices, Festival facilities, etc.; many
pictures of the work around the world, including Feasts at various
sites; the digs; the college; and many pix of "people doing the work."
Visitors will be given a professionally designed information packet
including pictures, postcards, brief booklets explaining what the
Church is; what it is accompl·ishing; what_ it believes, etc. Certain
memorabilia, such as old pix of early feasts, the work in Oregon and
first years of the college; old publications, etc., in display cases.
Video cassettes will be shown in a visitors' projection room,
with PR type video tape on the church, its worldwide activities, and
the college. 4) We are inviting Co-Workers to each of my special
Sabbath visits (had some fine looking people greet me in Jackson,
saying they were "supporters" but not members), and we:hope this
personal contact begins to stimulate them to further involvement.
5) We are placing a special signature in the PT (over and above
the size for Newsstand distribution and foreign editions} containing
strong, biblically-oriented articles concerning repentance, conver
sion, what is a true Christ.ian, and church membership. 6)
Mr.
Mokarow is working on utilizing the "Human Potential Center" for
the direct benefit of the Church by developing the kind of smaller
campaign-lecture series activities which can introduce smaller
