Meanwhile, four or five important additional
stations in the United States have opened their doors to us--since
my last letter to you. JESUS CHRIST IS CONSTANTLY INCREASING AND
EXPANDING THE POWER OF HIS WORK!
But probably most important of all, HE HAS OPENED
THE DOOR AT LAST FOR CHRIST'S GOSPEL TO GO OUT FROM JERUSALEM--for
the first time since 69 A.D., when the Apostles had to flee
Jerusalem, just before the siege of the Roman armies under General
Titus!
The Israeli government at last has allowed a private
independent radio station to operate in Jerusalem. On his way to
England Garner Ted Armstrong arranged, with station representatives
in New York, for three full half hours every week over this new
station. We are not allowed to broadcast in either the Hebrew or
Arabic Languages--but we are free to send out God's Message in
English, French and German. I think probably we shall decide to
use two half hours a week in English, and divide the other half
hour into two 15-minute programs--one in French, the other in
German.
Mr. Dibar Apartian, professor of French language at
Ambassador College in Pasadena--a native of France and Switzerland
--broadcasts the WORLD TOMORROW twice weekly over the two super-
power stations of Europe, Radio Luxembourg and Radio Europe Number
One. Hundreds of thousands in France and in Belgium and
Switzerland hear the Message every week. Several of our booklets
are now published in French. We even receive letters from people
in France asking, "What is this book you talk about--the Bible? I
never heard of it. Where can I buy a copy?" But also several are
now requesting baptism. Mr. Apartian is scheduled to sail for
England and France in June. He expects to visit and baptize a
number in France.
We also broadcast twice each week over Radio
Luxembourg in the GERMAN language, beamed into Germany, northern
Switzerland where German is the official language, Austria, and on
east into Russian satellite countries. Mr. Erhard Klammer is the
speaker on the German program. He was born and reared in Germany,
though now a United States citizen. He is an instructor in German
language at Ambassador College. Hundreds of thousands hear
Christ's Message every week by his voice. Many of the booklets are
translated and published in German, and now there is a German
edition of The Plain Truth.
And now--since large portions of the Jewish people
in Israel, and Arab and other peoples within range of the new
station in Jerusalem, understand at least one of the three
languages--English, German and French--we hope to deliver Christ's
true Gospel Message to thousands and millions in the Middle East.
Do you realize, dear Co-Workers, what this means?
Not only is this the very first time there has been
any opportunity to broadcast in the Middle-East, BUT THIS SIGNALS
