PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, DECEMBER 14, 1984
Appreciation for Ministerial Refreshing Program III
Dear Messrs. Armstrong and Tkach:
We have just returned from the third Refreshing Program. To us
this Refreshing Program certainly highlighted the previous two
programs.
Thank you Mr. Armstrong, very much, for allowing these programs.
We feel that they are a tremendous instrument in pulling the min
istry together so we are saying the same thing. It is so evident
that the instructors, for all subjects, are thoroughly dedicated
and committed to teaching their respective portions in an up
lifting and positive manner.
In reviewing our notes, we are
learning more deeply the intents of the messages given.
We appreciate Mr. Tkach's example of zeal, dedication and loyal
ty, which is so obvious. It is encouraging and inspiring.
We thank you, Mr. Armstrong, for your continued example set for
all of us, with your love and your encouragement that we need.
Please be encouraged through your daily stressful times and know
that we are behind you, holding up your hands. We love you very
much, for truly you are like a father to us. Our prayers are with
you daily.

Dear Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Tkach:
Thank you for another tremendously beneficial Ministerial Re
freshing Program!
Attending the September session was like a
feast before the Feast.
This program, as usual, we especially enjoyed getting to know the
international ministers.
It is clear that God is using these
programs to coordinate His ministry worldwide so that we are ap
proaching our responsibilities with the same mind.
The program also helps us to appreciate that we are a part of a
global Church with God and Christ in charge. We come to the cam
pus as students rather than as ministers. Then we are privileged
to go out to serve as ministers teaching what we've been taught.
Perhaps programs like these will continue for millennia.
In addition to sending thanks to all the instructors, thanks to
all in Ministerial Services and the various departments who put
much time and care into special information packets, tours and
gifts.
