FROM PASTORAL ADMINISTR ATION
Dear Fellow Ministers:
Greetings from Pasadena! Once again, it is good to hear from so
many of you and feel the continuing trend toward unity and stability
after our upsets of recent months. Also, I am very encouraged by the
continuing growth in our overseas Work. Mr. Colin Adair sent
in
a report
a few days ago that income in the Philippines, year-to-date, has grown to
a 14�% increase. Things are going along almost equally well in most of
the international areas.
As many of you know, Mr. Armstrong has asked us to send out a "team"
from headquarters in the G-II for the last three weeks running. These
are all men who are able to explain the real truth regarding the recent
legal attacks on God's Church and are able to answer any and all questions
from the brethren about these matters -- in addition to giving a sermon.
The response from most areas has been very fine, and the vast majority of
the brethren have been enthusiastically appreciative of the opportunity
to hear directly from Pasadena headquarters about these matters and have
some of their doubts and questions laid to rest. So we will be continuing
these trips from time to time, and feel this is a fine use for the air
plane and a real strengthening and unifying exercise for God's Church.
Decisions will be made this week on most of the sabbatical assignments,
field transfers for sabbatical ministers, and related issues for the U.S.
ministers. Some few assignments may have to be delayed, and we will be
in
contact with the area coordinators -- as we have already been -- and
with the overseas directors as is needed.
We have made arrangements to have a class this next school year
especially for the sabbatical wives. The exact format and teachers have
not yet been decided, but we will be getting more information to all of
you as soon as plans are complete.
We are also working on a questionnaire to send to all wives
in
the
field. In order to better serve you, we need more information about all
of you. Several here at headquarters are working on this questionnaire,
so when complete, it will give a very good overall view of wives of the
ministry.
All of you wives, worldwide, please be thinking of ways we here at
headquarters could better serve, support and help you in your job of
assisting your husbands in the work of the ministry.
Continuing progress has been made
in
planning our Evangelistic
Campaigns! Halls in the following cities have already been selected for
the upcoming campaigns and these cities have been approved by Mr. Herbert
Armstrong: San Antonio, Denver, Pasadena, Seattle, Shreveport, Phoenix,
