PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, MAY 27, 1986
As you can see in the transfer list, we were able to hire several new
men in the U.S. field. I'm pleased to see that, because I know the work
load has been especially great for many of you. Even though that is the
kind of work load that is a pleasure in one sense, it is still difficult
to keep up with the growth.
So far this year we are averaging nearly
1,700 new contacts per month. Let's continue praying that God will give
us the manpower to properly shepherd those He will call.
One final subject this time.
One of our tour guides here on campus
was speaking to a man who was quite interested in our literature. In the
course of the conversation the tour guide asked if he had spoken to a
minister. "Yes, I have," was the reply. "But my first impression was not
very favorable." He went on to explain that he had just finished reading
the booklet about healthful living and was impressed. But the next day
when he had his first visit with a minister, the minister was "grossly
obese."
Need I say more?
I expect those of you who have been careless to
begin immediately taking wise steps to get yourselves into reasonable
condition.
Use wisdom.
Get sound advice from professionals about a balanced
program. Avoid crash diets.
Avoid exercise that is too strenuous for
your condition. But get started. A slow but sure weight loss program,
based on a balanced dfe't"and regulated daily exercise, is best. But as I
say, get started now�ecord your progress. And stick with it! Epough

Thank you again for your prayers and encouraging cards and letters.
My prayers are with you daily.
In Christian love,
