input, and will provide us with a monthly or quarterly report on
activity in this area. You'll be hearing more on this from Ed
Libov and Associates. In the meantime, I just wanted to pass on what
developments we in Ministerial Services are aware of.
We've also been supplying figures toward development of a media
.
plan.
I'm very impressed with the very professional and right down the line
approach being used. I feel you'll be very pleased when you see the
media plan fully developed.

MINISTERIAL TRANSFERS In case you haven't heard, my wife, Allie,
underwent surgery last week for the removal of a small growth on the
thyroid. She's at home now and making very rapid recovery. As it
turned out, the lab tests showed that there was--contrary to the
doctor's expectations--a small carcinoma on the left lobe of the
thyroid. It appears it has been totally excised, however� and the
doctor feels she will make a full recovery and is likely to have no
further trouble with it. Nevertheless, we wou�d sincerely appreciate
your prayers.
I expect a complete presentation from Ted Herlofson this week summar
izing all of the area coordinators' recommendations for ministerial
transfers for the corning year. This will set the wheels in motion
for moving as many as fifty families this summer. Notification on
transfers will be later this year as well. Last year we got overly
diligent, made our decisions very early, only to have to change many
of them later. Most of those who are going to be transterred this
summer are already aware of any plans involving them, but they will
probably only have two months notice as to the exact assignment they
will be taking up when they move. If you have any feelings, desires,
fears, apprehensions, etc., please don't hesitate to call your area
coordinator and discuss it with him. It is our desire to be as
considerate as we possibly can be commensurate with the best service
of the Church of God.
Thanks for all the encouraging letters regarding the ministerial con�
ference. We've had a tremendous response from everyone concerned.

INTERNATIONAL PERSONNEL CHANGES Would like to bring you up to date
on personnel changes in the International areas: Carn Catherwood,
based in Brussels is the area coordinator for the French language
churches in Europe and the West Indies. He, and his wife Joyce and
their three daughters are living just outside of Brussels, in Waterloo,
Belgium.
Bob Scott, who has served in Paris, France for over four years assist
ing Mr. Etienne Bourdin, is now in Canada pastoring the two French
language churches in Trois Rivieres and Quebec City. Bob's wife
Eloise is Canadian so it's a return home for her.
Sam and Marilyn Kneller, formerly in Quebec, are now serving the
Paris church. Sam's working with the Paris church will free Mr.
Bourdin up for pressing translation needs including the entire
Systematic Theology Project, a progressive revision of our French
booklet inventory and, potentially, advertising copy for projects we
hope to start in the future.
