The PLAIN TRUTH every month. More than 80,000 students are
studying the Bible Correspondence Course.
But look at HOW MUCH MORE the help of you Co-Workers had
ADDED to the GREAT POWER of this mighty Work! Today there are 210
college-educated ordained ministers stationed at various points ALL
AROUND THE WORLD--130 of them in the United States--visiting with
and helping, personally, THOUSANDS who REQUEST this personal
ministerial help--baptizing new converts being brought into God's
Kingdom. There are an additional 41 Ambassador-college-trained
ministerial assistants, working with the 210 ministers. Most of
these men will be ordained after completing their ministerial
training.
But--STILL MORE! Today Ambassador College has THREE
CAMPUSES--in Pasadena, California, in eastern Texas, and in
England. These colleges are training a constantly increasing
number of men and women, most of whom will find permanent positions
in this world-wide Work of God--and some of these men will become
ordained ministers.
STILL MORE! There are the SEVEN branch offices outside the
United States, each staffed with trained personnel, ranging from 6
or 8 up to nearly 50 in each office. They receive the countless
thousands of letters from radio listeners, mail out requested
literature, answer letters. On the Pasadena campus is a two-story
building occupied fully by our "Letter Answering Department." This
is staffed by ordained ministers and college graduates who devote
their entire time to dictating personal answers to radio listeners
and PLAIN TRUTH readers who ask questions not answered by one of
our free booklets. Also in this building is a large secretarial
pool--girl typists who type out the letters these men dictate.
THIS IS TODAY A HUGE GLOBE-SPANNING WORK. Jesus
Christ--the living Christ--heads it, directs it, inspires it,
empowers it with God's Holy Spirit--and BLESSES IT!
What I tried to make plain to our Co-Workers is this: YOU
ARE Preaching to HUNDREDS of people every week--through Garner Ted
Armstrong's voice on the air--beside having part in carrying on the
colleges, the overseas offices, maintaining these ministers to help
thousands of people, publishing The PLAIN TRUTH, the Correspondence
Course, the booklets we offer FREE--and ALL the MANY operations of
this big Work.
You are doing that preaching--NOT by your own voice, except
with your earnest PRAYERS--by your financial support. Now of
course, many of our Co-Workers are only able to contribute small
amounts, while some others have been blessed with ability to give
large amounts. But, averaging it all up--as if all gave the same
amount--YOU, as a Co-Worker--ARE, now, actually PREACHING to some
615 people every week, paying for 25 others to read The PLAIN
TRUTH, paying YOUR PART for getting out the Correspondence Course,
paying your part for the support of these 210 ordained ministers
who devote their FULL TIME to counseling, baptizing, and helping
people spiritually, beside their assistants, and ALL these other
phases of this vast Work of GOD. You are helping SUPPORT
