our Administration building. We transformed another large block of
horse stables into a men's dormitory which now can house 150 men.
And at present, we are erecting our first completely new building.
But now the time has come when this whole Work of God cannot
go on, and continue its normal GROWTH, unless we do now, at last,
enter on a programme of new building expansion. We are DOUBLING
the enrolment of students at the Texas college this week, with a
new freshman class larger than the entire Student Body of last
year. Now we are forced to build new dormitories, a dining hall,
classroom buildings. These students simply have to have a place to
sleep, eat, study, and attend classes.
And yet many of our Co-Workers are slacking off in their
special and ADDITIONAL offerings, over and above tithes and
offerings for the broadcasting, publishing, and personal ministry
in the Gospel Work. I do not ask any to contribute what he does
not have. But it has become evident that MANY have simply become
NEGLECTFUL. I feel that I MUST, in this letter, remind you. The
need is great, and it is URGENT!
You know Jesus spoke of the spiritual harvest (the GOSPEL
harvest) being plenteous, but the labourers TOO FEW. And that is
the problem we face! Precious LIVES are being converted, by the
thousands -- brought to God's KINGDOM for eternity! But it takes
FAR MORE than the mere broadcasting and publishing! When thousands
of people are MOVED, repentant, and write to beg us for PERSONAL
COUNSEL AND HELP, this personal help is ABSOLUTELY VITAL to their
salvation.
The Ambassador Colleges are Christ's TRAINING GROUNDS where
these future ministers and helpers are trained. THEY ARE TOO FEW!
Again this year, we could accept only a part of those college
students who wanted to come to Ambassador College -- BECAUSE WE
LACK THE BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES.
Suddenly, within the last year, a tremendous NEW DOOR has
opened to proclaim the Gospel Message DAILY to the British Isles --
the ship stations, Radio London and Radio City in the south and
Radio Caroline North. The charge for our half hour of The WORLD
TOMORROW is very high, and nearly altogether paid by American
Co-Workers in United States DOLLARS. And NOW -- BIG NEWS!!--
we have just arranged for the prime time of 7 to 7:30 EVERY EVENING
-- seven evenings a week -- on a NEW radio ship to reach ALL
SCOTLAND and north-eastern England. This, too, will be costly --
very costly. It is more than our American Co-Workers, alone, can
possibly manage. We do need all the help we can get from our loyal
Co-Workers in the British Isles.
Co-Workers, THIS WORK MUST GROW FASTER! Time is running out
on us. It is now FAR, FAR LATER THAN WE THINK! It is probable we
may have only about 6 or 6 1/2 more years to FINISH this great
task of thundering forth "this gospel of the kingdom of God" to
"all the world as a WITNESS to ALL NATIONS" before the END of this
world, and the COMING OF CHRIST IN ALL POWER TO RULE THE WORLD!
We are preparing the way for His coming! Jesus Christ Himself
