Brethren, I am not "happy" with all of these station buys� Some
of them are nowhere near as good as I might hope. But I AM happy we
are making a new BEGINNING! With the knowledge that the populations
of Los Angeles, San Diego, Tucson, and all their dozens of other
cities that are part of these complexes are all within the radius of
three stations, LIVE, for a half-hour every day from 12:00 to 12:30
during the noon hour-�-I know I'll be inspired to do better broad­
casting!
Perhaps it is difficult for some of you who live in New England, the
South, the Atlantic Seaboard, the Midwest and the Plains states to
become enthusiastic when I talk about a "West Coast Network!"
BUT, remember, we want to do the SAME THING IN YOUR AREA as God
provides the wherewithall! We hope to begin various regional networks
of stations, finally achieving an entire NATIONAL NETWORK, all broad­
casting the program at some time ON THE SAME DAY�
With the shocking pace qf world affairs and conditions, I feel it is
imperative we reach the populations while curr�nt happenings are
still CURRENT; as in the recent developments in the Mideast; the
growing difficulties between Japan and the United States over trade;
the devastating blow to the economy from the coal strike, and such
prophetically significant events!
The rapid changes which come, almost daily, make the concept of two
to three week tape-delay broadcasting completely obsolete! The
WHOLE WORLD CAN CHANGE in such a short period! Will you pray we can
begin broadcasting like this EVERYWHERE? Pray that we can set up
such a lineup of stations where YOU live, and your family and loved
ones! I know this is what God WANTS us to do! It is what He has
COMMISSIONED we must do! "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be
preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and THEN
shall the end come!" said Christ (Matt. 24:14). "Cry aloud, spare
not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew
my
people their
transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins!" said Isaiah
(Isa. 58:1).
The new programs I will be making will come right out of the books of
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. I'll be showing, DAILY, how the march
of TODAY'S EVENTS coincide with the prophecies of Christ Himself;
How Jesus Christ was a NEWSCASTER, foretelling the conditions we see
around us right now; promising the intervention of God before human
kind destroys itself!
We are going to be walking through these doors BY FAITH! My father
has said over the years; this is a work OF FAITH---of FAITH IN THE
LIVING GOD! What I have told you about radio in this letter is not

in the budget---it is stepping� and above the currently budgeted
amounts for media! For example, the main station in Los Angeles will
cost over 1,000 dollars per week, for five programs! The big 50,000
watt station in San Francisco costs almost double that amount!
Nevertheless, it is time we put that 30-minute radio program back on
the air waves where the millions can hear it! In times past, we wouldG
receive letters or phone calls from people who had heard the program
in all parts of the country, at various times. Many times, I have
heard salesmen, farmers, truck drivers, factory workers and others
