I do not know of any activity on earth that is GROWING, and
MULTIPLYING in power and scope, year after year, like this work of
GOD. World conditions are tightening, worsening, moving faster and
faster! God's Work must move at the same faster pace!
This year started out normally -- with the usual 30%
increase in funds received, over the same month a year ago -- up
until just after the middle of the month. But now, SUDDENLY,
tithes and offerings have DROPPED OFF ALARMINGLY!
Of course, we always suffer a slowing down of receipts of
tithes and offerings the last half of the month -- only right now
the drop-off is abnormal and alarming! When the business office
simply does not have the money in the bank to pay salaries, it is
high time to be alarmed!
I have asked you, month after month, to PRAY for this work,
and its finances. Right now I have to ask you to DROP EVERYTHING,
and go to a private place of prayer, close the door, drop to your
knees, and pour out your heart in real intercessory prayer to God
for the work. Somehow, dear Co-Workers, we have to begin to take
the work of God more seriously!
GOD'S GREAT WORK MUST GO ON! God's Work NEEDS YOUR HELP!
PLEASE PRAY, and put your heart earnestly into your petition to
God! Get under this burden with me! Send the largest amount you
can -- from the widows' mites up to multiple thousands of dollars
-- BY RETURN AIR MAIL. IT IS DESPERATELY URGENT!
Thank you -- God IS blessing you!
With love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
P.S. In my last letter I asked you to pray for the safety of Mr.
Meredith and Mr. McNair on their South African trip. Your prayers
were answered. They baptized 24, converted from the broadcast, and
a loyal and competent minister among natives in Northern Rhodesia!
