New branch offices have been opened in Duesseldorf,
Germany, and in Manila, the Philippines, to speed up receiving of
mail from their areas and posting to them requested literature.
The Plain Truth circulation has grown another 30%. In
every area of activity, the work has grown 30% over the year
before. It is truly wonderful!
I said, above, that when a real NEED arises, God always
provides it. A very serious financial need has arisen. God
provides this through YOU CO-WORKERS. I know your hearts are
really in this great and wonderful Work, as a Co-worker with the
living Jesus Christ, who HEADS, directs, guides, and blesses this
Work. We are His collective Body, empowered by His Spirit, used as
HIS INSTRUMENT in HIS WORK!
The NEED right now is serious, and very great. PLEASE PRAY
EARNESTLY that God will lay it heavily on the hearts of those He
can use to respond liberally. Let's see if we can't give right
now, with this Christmas shopping season coming on, MORE GENEROUSLY
THAN USUAL.
Finally, I have to remind you, as I do every year at this
time, that we are now coming to the MOST DIFFICULT MONTH OF THE
YEAR--unless we do all make extra sacrifice for God's Work.
Already the Christmas decorations are up. We're coming to the time
when people spend lavishly, EXCHANGING presents among themselves,
while they somehow suppose they are giving birthday presents to
Christ. But they don't GIVE these presents to CHRIST, for His
glorious Work! They EXCHANGE their gifts among themselves, and at
this season most NEGLECT CHRIST AND HIS WORK AND ITS DIRE NEED!
Dear Co-Workers, this ought not to be!
So join me in urgent, prevailing PRAYER! Let's sacrifice
for CHRIST'S great need of this serious hour! THANK YOU, from the
heart!
With love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
P.S. -- My semi-annual letter to the entire Plain Truth
mailing list will be sent you in a few days. More than 90% of
those who will receive it--all but just you who are Co-Workers with
me and with Christ--have never been asked in any way for
contributions for the Work. As you know, we do not ask for
money over the air! There is NO PRICE on anything we give out.
So, remember, except for you Co-Workers, the other almost
400,000 people who will receive this semi-annual letter have never
contributed, nor been asked to contribute for support of this Work!
No other work on earth, so far as we know, is able to
