Meanwhile, The WORLD TOMORROW goes on TELEVISION
T O N I G H T, May 11, 1967. It is making an humble start, on a
UHF station, Channel 22, but at the prime time of 8:30 P.M. A
group of students are coming to my home to view it, and another
group to the home of my son Garner Ted. This, too, though we know
it will have only a comparatively small viewing audience, and is a
most modest start, is an historic occasion! For it is onlY a
START! We have ideas for greatly improving and enlivening the
program, to spark it with increased interest, as we go along. And
gradually, it will go on more and more stations--soon on VHF
stations--until it is released over MANY of the more powerful
stations, in all parts of the United States, and many other parts
of the world.
In every way, GOD'S WORK IS LEAPING AHEAD now, as never
before! As I said in my last letter, we must "tighten our belts,"
to use a slang expression--and "gird up our loins"--to use a
Biblical expression--to plunge forward in GOD'S WORK more
enthusiastically, more energetically, than ever before. Of course
all this expansion of new facilities, to reach NEW MILLIONS OF
PEOPLE with Christ's last MESSAGE, does cost more money. I realize
that we cannot give for God's Great Work beyond our means, or
ability to give--BUT OUR PERSISTENT, BELIEVING, FERVENT AND URGENT
PRAYERS for this Work CAN result in God laying it heavily on the
hearts of additional hundreds to BECOME Co-Workers.
REMEMBER, your PRAYERS can help even the financial needs
of the Work, as well as your own tithes and offerings.
I want to RUSH this letter into the mails, so will reserve
other things I have to say until next time. I DO THANK YOU, beyond
the power of mere words to express, for your loyalty, your prayers
for me personally, your sympathy in my recent heavy trial. Let us,
now PUSH ON IN GREATER ZEAL THAN EVER!
With much love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
