then, after I wrote the last Co-Worker letter to you, station WOW
in Omaha! In these very few weeks these new stations have resulted
in a veritable AVALANCHE of HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS--yes, THOUSANDS
of letters from new listeners we never reached before! The
response is phenomenal--more than we ever hoped for!
These are LEADING stations--OUTSTANDING stations--the
ones most people listen to. NEVER BEFORE, in the more than 27
years of this work broadcasting CHRIST'S OWN GOSPEL to a world that
never heard HIS TRUE Gospel before, has He opened so many TOP-RATED
most-listened-to stations in so short a time! This is
providential!
In a few short months these prominent stations in all
parts of the United States will result in hundreds of new
Co-Workers adding their tithes and offerings, along with yours, to
keep this greatest work on earth going--and GROWING constantly in
power and scope, world-wide!
B U T ! ! Meanwhile it means that WE, ourselves, must
make greater sacrifice than ever--or we shall not be able to STAY
ON these new top-rated powerful stations that now carry CHRIST'S
MESSAGE into a whole HALF-MILLION ADDITIONAL HOMES EVERY WEEK!
Listen carefully, dear Co-Workers! Our Leader, Jesus
Christ, is stepping up His work--causing it to grow EFFECTIVELY as
never before--right at the very time of our most serious national
economic recession since the great depression or 1929-1936. At
least 10% of our Co-Workers are now unemployed. THE REST OF US
MUST MAKE UP FOR THEIR SHARE, AND MORE TOO, FOR THIS WONDERFUL
GROWTH!
This is a solemn, serious hour! We face what may be our
greatest TEST! God has PROMISED to prosper those who are honest in
putting HIS first 10% of their incomes into His work, with generous
offerings beside! I have a letter from one faithful tithe-payer.
He lost his job. He called on God in prayer to KEEP HIS PROMISE of
financial blessing and security! Then he went out after another
job. He was turned down. He tried again--and again--and again.
He wouldn't quit or give up! He did HIS PART. He kept BELIEVING
GOD'S PROMISE! After his faith was tested, and he still
persevered, he found a BETTER job than he had lost! Now he can
still help keep God's work going! GOD WILL BLESS YOU, TOO!
Never have I needed your prayers more! Never have YOU
needed to pray more. Pray for me--for this work--for other Co-
Workers that God will keep them in jobs, bless them so they can
give more for HIM! Let all our loyal Co-Workers PRAY FOR ONE
ANOTHER! We still need LOANS of largest possible sums, if it is
money you cannot give outright for the work. This is a GRAVE
SITUATION! Air mail gets your tithes and offerings to us quicker!
I'm praying for YOU--and God IS blessing you--BE THANKFUL!
With love, in Jesus' name,
