handful of poor but devout people added THEIR PRAYERS and THEIR
TITHES AND OFFERINGS to what I was able to do--and because
gradually more and more people became Co-Workers with Christ and
with me, until now our little family of Co-Workers has grown large
enough to make this tremendous IMPACT on the world possible.
Alone, I was able to preach to only 40 people. With all
our Co-Workers, beside hundreds of full-time employees, today we
preach to more than 45 MILLION people! Today EACH ONE of our
Co-Workers is responsible for preaching to 615 people every week!
THINK OF IT! Just by YOUR prayers for the Work, and your
tithes and offerings, YOU are getting the Gospel preached THROUGH
THIS WORK to 615 people every week, while I, alone, was able to
preach to only 40!
I know of NO PLACE where every dollar accomplishes SO MUCH.
And HOW MUCH are the SEVERAL THOUSAND precious lives worth that
were converted, brought to Christ, and baptized, just last year
alone? HOW MUCH VALUE do you place on a LIFE to be made IMMORTAL,
inheriting ETERNAL LIFE in God's Kingdom? Yes, HOW MUCH?
That is what your tithes and offerings are being invested
in.
JESUS CHRIST is the living HEAD of this Work! THAT'S WHY
this Work accomplishes so much on so little. THE POWER OF GOD'S
HOLY SPIRIT ENERGIZES IT!
Many of our Co-Workers wait for one of these Co-Worker
letters from me before sending in their tithes and offerings. So
I do have to tell you the NEED is again URGENT! And please try to
send an EXTRA offering during the last half of February. REMEMBER
--February is the shortest month--yet most monthly expenditures we
have to pay out for the Work are as large as any other month. We
seriously need to have all Co-Workers (as you are able) to try to
send in something EXTRA during February.
And, as always those who have on hand a larger sum they
feel they cannot send as a donation at this time, but who could
LOAN it for a year or more--or until needed--such loans PUT TO WORK
WHERE CHRIST IS DIRECTING THE WORK can be of very great help.
Remember, further, that we maintain a separate cash reserve in
the bank, adequate to meet any normal demands for the repayment of
any of these loans, in part or in whole, as your need may be. If
you should wish any legal help or advice in regard to making a will
to God's Work, our own Legal Department (of Christian people) will
be happy to help.
Remember, too, that MOST of our Co-Workers are people of
only average and below-average incomes--many are poor people with
very meager incomes. That is all the more reason why the FEW of
our Co-Workers of better financial ability should be especially
liberal and generous in their giving for Christ's Work. God LOVES
a cheerful giver (II Cor. 9:6-7). "He which soweth sparingly shall
reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap
also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his
