Everywhere around the world GOD'S WORK IS GROWING!
Already Mr. Dibar Apartian, Director of the French Work,
and the voice of the French WORLD TOMORROW program, is in Paris
arranging for the opening of offices there. I had previously
announced the leasing of offices in Geneva. The instructions had
already been mailed to Geneva for the leasing of the office suite
and then facts came to light which made it necessary to wire
cancellation, and plan to open the office in Paris instead. Many
in France are awaiting baptism.
And here's REALLY BIG NEWS! The first edition the new
FRENCH-language PLAIN TRUTH magazine is already printed--the June,
1963 number! It starts out with a circulation of more than 5,000
subscribers--all of whom have ordered their own subscription (even
though no subscription price). Now The PLAIN TRUTH in published in
THREE languages--the three English editions, beside the German
edition and now, the French edition!
The Work in Germany is simply BOOMING! By the thousands,
people in Germany are turning to God's TRUTH!
Our days of this freedom to broadcast and publish
Christ's Gospel in these countries in NUMBERED. I hope we may have
another four or five years. But WE HAVE NO TIME TO LOSE!
Progress is being made toward getting the broadcast into
JAPAN! Also into SPAIN! Somehow, ITALY must be reached--also the
Arab countries of the middle-east. WE STILL HAVE MUCH TO DO. And
it is getting LATE! Freedom to proclaim Christ's TRUTH will be
gone, over most of the world, in a very few years!
I have written you about our AUSTERE YEAR, on which I
found it necessary to embark some two months ago. Some of you
MISUNDERSTOOD! Let me MAKE IT CLEAR! God's Work is NOT GOING
BACKWARD!--NEVER! The actual GOSPEL WORK is going FORWARD faster
than ever before! We are not making any cuts that would actually
slow the Work.
But THIS is what we are doing! We are cutting every
waste effort or unnecessary expenditure we can. We are continuing
to add more radio stations--but, (for this one year) not as rapidly
as we had been doing. We are cancelling out some radio stations
that have not proved productive and apparently were not being
listened to by as many others.
This latter fact is one reason it is IMPORTANT that you
ALWAYS write down the call-letters of the station on which you most
often hear The WORLD TOMORROW. If you fail to tell us (in EVERY
letter--with every remittance) then our records will indicate that
this station is not reaching many listeners--and we may cut it off.
I did write you two months ago that we had POSTPONED the
opening of the third Ambassador College, in Texas, for one year.
That was because of this austerity year. But we feel that will not
slow down the actual proclaiming of the Gospel--as long as it is
