BETTER THAN EVER!
We have needed a SPIRITUAL SHAKING UP, and REJUVENATION,
before we were prepared to go ahead with this VASTLY MORE POWERFUL
WORK which Christ is opening before us. Mrs. Armstrong's illness
has been used to start that on its way. As Christ has used HER
blockage to remove the spiritual blockage from HIS WIFE--His
CHURCH--I am sure He will also remove the physical blockage from my
wife! Would you pray earnestly with me?
Co-Workers, I'm sure I need not take much space to say that
the need of financial income for GOD'S WORK is a continuous VITAL,
and URGENT NEED. I have explained how important is YOUR PART--and
how NEEDFUL! It truly is, as Jesus said, MORE blessed to GIVE than
to receive! God LOVES a cheerful giver! He PROSPERS those who pay
into HIS WORK their TITHE--which is the first tenth of actual gross
income--the same income on which you pay income tax. And God
Himself does expect free will offerings beside from us all--
according to our circumstances and ability, of course!
Those who have made special contributions for the BUILDING
FUND for the very urgently needed buildings on the three college
campuses should realize that the need is now greater than ever
before. God will bless you for continuing these SPECIAL offerings.
And, of course, the special loans of larger amounts, from
those who are not able to turn these into an outright contribution
at this time, subject to repayment when needed, adds a VITALLY
IMPORTANT help.
This mighty WORK OF GOD is being stepped up in greater
power as NEVER BEFORE! Co-Workers, let's ALL TOGETHER, in greater
PRAYER for the Work, put our hearts into this WORK OF GOD as NEVER
BEFORE!
With very sincere LOVE, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
