How often have we heard Mr. Herbert Armstrong say, "God's Church

FROM CHURCH ADMINISTRATION
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR CHOSEN; SEAT BELTS;
ANNOUNCEMENT FOR U.S. SUMMER EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
Assistant Director Chosen
After much prayer and counsel, I have decided
to assign Larry R. Salyer, for the past three years serving as Dean of
Students at Ambassador College in Big Sand·y, Texas, to assist me in
Church Administration here in Pasadena. As Assistant Director of Church
Administration, Mr. Salyer will work directly with me in overseeing the
churches worldwide.
Most of you ministers and Regional Directors
already know him quite well, and all of you are familiar with him
through his lectures for the Refreshing Program. Assisting Mr. Salyer
will be Douglas R. Horchak, currently pastor of the Glendora, California
congregation.
Both men will be moving to Pasadena to assume their new responsibilities
as soon as possible. I am requesting, on their behalf, that you give
them your full support in every way, especially in heartfelt prayer for
Christ to lead them through his Spirit in the difficult and challenging
job they will be doing.
