PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, MARCH 21, 1986 '
are some of you who didn't (which is why Mr. Faulkner brought it up). So,
beginning with the May issue, all ministers will begin automatically
receiving
n
Youth 86.
n
I'm doing this for a reason, of course. I feel it is important for
the ministry to be reading this magazine. It will keep you informed on
important issues and topics that affect youth, which will aid you in being
better equipped to counsel and encourage youngsters about God's way of
life. Many have called
n
youth 86
n
a njunior 'Plain Truth.'
n
Some of its
older readers have commented on how clear are its simpler explanations of
doctrines. I'm sure all of you who haven't been regular readers will find
it well worth your time.
Thank you for your labor of love. Stay close to God. This Passover
season needs to have special meaning to all of us. Our lives are totally
dependent on the vast mercy of God.
His compassion toward us and the
supreme sacrifice of His Son, making possible a change in 2.!:!!. nature,
provide the substance of our hope, our future and our lives for all
eternity.
Pray for all of us in Pasadena, for one another and for all the
brethren e�erywhere.
With deep love,

Australia Visit I'm writing to you en route to Pasadena from Australia
where we've just completed a very successful ministerial conference. In
attendance were all of the full-time ministry and their wives in
Australia, pastors in the Asian areas, several local church elders and
some of the staff from the office in Burleigh Heads.
We met at the SEP site at Lake Moogerah, which allowed for fellowship and
mealtimes together and a variety of recreational exercise in the late
afternoons. God certainly has provided a beautiful and inspiring setting
for the summer camp and the Lake Moogerah church.
Assisted by Messrs. Morton, Winner and Bradford, I was able to conduct
four days of meetings on such subjects as God's government in His Church,
liberalism, church discipline, youth activities and others.
We also
played as a review the videotape of Mr. Tkach's refresher program presen­
tation on music.
