PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, SEPTEMBER 30, 1986
I felt it would be helpful for you ministers to know these changes to
facilitate your needs here at Headquarters. Upon his return to active
duty, Mr. La Ravia will be assigned to new responsibilities within the
Work.
We are continuing to carefully analyze each of the new •world
Tomorrow• programs in order to work toward maximum effectiveness. I think
you will notice that as the new season wears on, the programs will
increase even more in the overall impact--visually, as well as in
scripting and delivery. God has surely blessed the TV crew, the three
presenters and the combined effort of the Editorial and Publishing areas
to rapidly produce and print the meaningful literature to back up the
program.
God's Work has grown very large. It does take a coordinated family
effort, powered by the binding, unifying and miracle-workin � energy of
God's Holy Spirit to make it work! Let's pull together as God s family to
fulfill all His will for us.
Have a wonderful Feastl
With deep love, in Jesus' name,
P.S. In the upcoming •worldwide News• I am announcing a major new phase
of the Work in Europe! The door has opened for the •world Tomorrow• to
begin airing on a leading European satellite and cable channel! The first
program, •why Russia Will Not Attack America,• was aired September 21 and
is already bringing in a fine mail response. Thank you for your prayers
in this regard. Be sure to read the full details in the October 6 issue
of the •worldwide News.•

Everything continues to move very swiftly in Pasadena and in God's Work
worldwide.
I suppose I shouldn't say •everything,• as we are still
experiencing delays in the visa process �or Mr. McCullough, Mr. Fahey and
Mr. Morton. We would appreciate your prayers for favor in the eyes of the
respective countries. As the nations of the world become more and more
suspicious of each other it will no doubt become more difficult for us to
do the Work in traditional ways. Here at Headquarters we must continually
watch developments and be prepared to adopt effective new means of
preaching the Gospel and feeding the flock. And let me say that Mr. Tkach
has energetically taken the lead in reviewing every area of the Work to
find ways to make us more efficient and productive.
