A PART in so great a Work! WHAT a privilege to be given A PART in
CHANGING THE WORLD--in preparing the way for the second coming of
Jesus Christ IN ALL POWER AND GLORY, to RULE all nations, and bring
the world PEACE, and prosperity, and happiness, and joy--AND
ETERNAL LIFE! He is coming to SAVE the world.
Even now, He is converting five to ten thousand more every
year, to be Kings and Priests with us in the Kingdom of God! Even
now, more than 35 MILLION PEOPLE hear the Message IN POWER every
week! Even now, London daily newspapers are saying members of
Parliament are being stirred up by The WORLD TOMORROW!
Jesus Christ has caused this great Work to grow--to become
GREAT, and world-wide--by laying it on the hearts of YOU CO-WORKERS
to do YOUR part in it by even sacrificing some material things, in
order to help finance HIS Work. But He BLESSES YOU in so doing!
We are now NEAR THE END of this phase of the Work. But
that means we are near the BEGINNING of the BRILLIANTLY HAPPY AND
JOYFUL WORLD TOMORROW!
So, dear Co-Workers, let's stir up our enthusiasm, and DO
OUR PART to KEEP THIS WORK GROWING--AND GROWING!
For some reason, this year, the income of tithes and
offerings from Co-Workers seems to lag AFTER THE MIDDLE OF THE
MONTH. Send what you can by return mail--but if, later in the
month, you can send an additional offering you have not been
sending, IT WILL HELP more than I can say.m Of course, if your
circumstances work out that way, send it in weekly.
PRAY with me, fervently, that God will put it on the hearts
and in the minds of more radio listeners and PLAIN TRUTH readers to
BECOME Co-Workers with us. You know I can't ASK them to do that,
it must come from them, voluntarily--but our GOD is able to lay it
on their hearts--to put THEIR HEARTS IN THIS WORK.
The need is greater than ever, this year!
I have mentioned loans frequently. I don't want to ask any
to make it a LOAN, IF you can make it a contribution--BUT when
there is a larger sum--even several thousand dollars--you simply
CAN'T give outright as a contribution (deductible on income tax, of
course)--but don't need it right now, the living CHRIST can surely
PUT IT TO BIG AND EFFECTIVE WORK if you send it as a LOAN until you
need part or all of it. We have been asked to repay more loans
this year than ever before, so we do NEED additional new loans to
replace them. I sincerely hope, though, that none will ask partial
or total repayment unless absolutely necessary.
I seldom think to mention it, but many of our Co-Workers
are making WILLS, so that all or most of whatever they have will go
to this Work, in event of their deaths. Mrs. Armstrong and I, of
course, have done that. I would suggest you write our Legal
Department, and they will give you free advice as to how best to do
this. All members of our Legal Department are converted people,
full time in God's Work.
