Dear Co-Worker with CHRIST:
Here I am on the English campus of Ambassador College
again. After getting the new school year off to a fresh start on
the Pasadena campus a month ago, I flew to the Texas campus for a
few days -- for the opening of the 1967-68 school year there -- and
then on over here.
All three campuses are now full of activity -- young men
and women students hustling back and forth every hour from one
class to another. Each campus, once again, is a beehive of
activity.
For about a year and a half the Work of God was going full
speed ahead over the British Isles, broadcasting daily -- on some
stations twice daily, morning and evening -- broadcasting the WORLD
TOMORROW over the seven off-shore ship radio stations. We
effectively reached ALL PARTS of the British Isles -- England,
Scotland, Wales, and North Ireland, beside Eire (South Ireland).
Tests, mail, and checks indicated that not less than seven or eight
MILLION people, possibly much more, were hearing the Message of the
living Christ every week within Britain and Ireland.
But the British Parliament made the commercial
broadcasting from the ship stations illegal. So we had to GO OFF
THE AIR in Britain -- TOTALLY! It is really a terrible blow to the
very Work of God in Britain. We are receiving many letters from
British people deploring the shutting off of the WORLD TOMORROW.
Hundreds of thousands RELIED on the program as their daily diet.
They received facts, information, knowledge that is not available
anywhere else. It gave them daily inspiration, encouragement, faith
and spiritual help.
It leaves us with a tremendous PROBLEM. Somehow we must
find a medium to REPLACE radio for reaching the fifty-five and some
odd million people of Britain with Christ's Message.
So I called Garner Ted Armstrong, my son, Mr. Albert
Portune, our Business Manager from Pasadena Headquarters, and Mr.
Stanley Rader, attorney and financial advisor, to fly over here
from Pasadena. We have just had a very important and serious
conference here, with our chief officials of the British campus and
the Work in this part of the world.
