Factor Number Two: We have added more new radio stations
broadcasting THE WORLD TOMORROW in the past two or three months
than in any previous whole year! These stations, in almost every
instance, comprise the one leading, outstanding, most-listened-to
station in its area. Most of them are 50,000 watt stations. They
mean a tremendous surge forward in the power of this work. They
mean thousands of precious lives to be won for God's Kingdom. And
they mean, within from six to eighteen months, a large increase in
number of Co-Workers to help us meet the financial needs of this
great Work. But, for the next few months, they mean a very large
increase in monthly expenditures without any comparable increase in
income.
Those things combine to give this most important Work on
earth the tremendous additional burst of power forward---yet, for
the immediate present, they also combine to bring about the
tightest financial squeeze our Business Office has had to meet in
a long while. These factors have added considerably more than one
hundred thousand dollars to this one month's expenditures!
It simply means every one of us must, if humanly
possible, tighten our belts, make personal sacrifices, even
rearrange personal finances, and try to put into God's cause more
than we ever did before. At the same time I am informed by the
Business Office that several of the loans made to the work by
Co-Workers one, two, three years ago are now calling for repayment.
In order to help meet these requests, I am going to have to ask
others of you who could loan sums of from five hundred dollars up
to several thousand dollars---but who are not in position to give
it, at least at this time, to help the work in that manner, by
making new loans to the work.
The need is now so acute, immediate, and seriously
urgent, I must close this letter without saying more, asking you to
use airmail, and to pray earnestly with me that God will lay this
necessity so heavily on the hearts of enough Co-Workers that the
need will be met at once. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart,
and remember---God is blessing you!
With love in Jesus' name,
