Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
This must be short--and rushed to our little inner family of
Co-Workers by airmail.
Today we are mailing, also, my semi-annual letter to the
ENTIRE 600,000 names on The PLAIN TRUTH mailing list, answering
several questions many radio listeners are asking. You, too, will
receive it, but by a much slower type of mail service. This year
I am simply unable to offer all our PLAIN TRUTH subscribers any
fine new special book, as we have been doing the past few years.
The present financial condition of the Work of God will not
allow it. LET ME TELL YOU WHY--and WHY we do face a financial
EMERGENCY! I have told you before about Radio London opening, the
first of the year. Just two weeks ago, another station, reaching
all the NORTHERN half of the British Isles, opened the prime
listening time of 8:00 p.m. every night. These are the TWO MOST
COSTLY STATIONS we have ever used. BUT their potential listening
audience is a condensed, concentrated 55 MILLION PEOPLE! The
British Isles in area are only about the size of the southern HALF
of the State of California--only a third as large as Texas--just a
trifle larger than the State of Kansas. Yet some 55,000,000 people
are condensed in that little area.
Since the first of the year, SEVERAL very IMPORTANT radio
doors have opened up choice listening times for The WORLD TOMORROW.
Just yesterday I approved putting the program DAILY on a 50,000-
watt superpower station in Ottawa, Canada (population a half
million), a 10,000-watt station in one of Canada's more populous
areas, and two other important Canadian stations. Also one of the
best and most-listened-to stations in Montana--we have not had the
program on local stations there before. Also additional stations
in Australia.
Dear Co-Workers, I SIMPLY HAVE TO STEP OUT ON FAITH, when
Jesus Christ opens these vitally important radio doors! It means
we are going considerably BEYOND our projected budget for the year.
BUT IT MEANS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS--EVEN MILLIONS--OF ADDITIONAL
LISTENERS, BEING REACHED WITH CHRIST'S GOSPEL!
I have to ask all our loyal family of Co-Workers to "tighten
your belts" with us, and try, if possible to INCREASE the offerings
