FROM PASTORAL ADMINISTRATION
Dear Fellow Ministers:
Warmest greetings to you all.
Here at Headquarters we are all very much looking forward to
the soon-coming Ministerial Conference in January. It will be great
to have the majority of our pastors of churches back together again
for several days of meetings and fellowship, and we expect it to be
a very profitable time.
In addition, I want to mention that the various Area Coordinators
from across the U.S.A. will be coming in to Pasadena ahead of time
for additional meetings. If you have any specific questions that
you would like to pose -- in the hope that as many of them as possible
can be addressed during the conference itself or perhaps during the
meetings with the Area Coordinators -- please send them on to me as
quickly as possible. We will then put together a number of reconunen
dations that can be passed on to Mr. Armstrong for possible discussion.
Once again, I want to express my appreciation for the support,
��eking and dedication of you fellow ministers. This is certainly a
time when we need to emphasize unity in the ministry, support for
one another, as well as responsiveness as members of the team that
has been called to assist in the performance of God's Work reaching
out to mankind with God's true message.
Continue to be strong in your ministry as you continue to
strengthen the people of God�

areas about the fact that some are frustrated because Pasadena is not
supplying church areas with �ore Plain Truth magazines. Others have
even told their people to prepare for immediate distribution of over
one million more copies of the magazine.
I think it would be good if l mentioned again our plans for the coming
year and for future growth. Firstly, at no time have I or my staff
said that we would definitely be increasing our circulation beyond the
January 1979 level. (See my comment in Pastor's Report dated September
11, 1978). To my knowledge, neither Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Rader nor
anybody else have said that we would be increasing newsstand distribu
tion immediately. What we have all said is that we hope to take our
