international ATTENTION. It would give us power to send out the
most powerful, far-reaching evangelistic campaign of all earth's
history. Surely that's the way God intends that "This Gospel of
the KINGDOM shall be preached into all he world, FOR A WITNESS unto
ALL NATIONS, and then shall the END come." We would be heard even
in the British Isles over such a great station. God opened the way
for us to purchase all facilities, and open up the station, for
$125,000. I have just had a long-distance telephone conversation
with the agents, and it appears we may now be too late for that
particular equipment---a deal is up on it, and looks like it will
be purchased. Our fund toward it, so far, is a mere few hundred
dollars. We must take this more SERIOUSLY, dear Co-Workers, and
PRAY---pray as we never did before, that God will move some one, or
a few, who have large sums of money or who have property that could
be sold to supply it, to put into this fund amounts up to $100,000
or more. It may be there is not a single person among our growing
Co-Worker family who has, or could possibly raise such a sum. BUT
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD, and all things are possible to
us, IF WE BELIEVE! AND PRAY! We can know this is God's will.
Twice, now, He has opened the way---just waiting on SOMEONE, or
some few of large means, to supply the money. There is a station
we could have bought for $250,000, but it is fast becoming too late
to purchase that station, too, and the longer we, delay the higher
the purchase price will be. Take this seriously! PRAY!
Now as stated in the last BULLETIN I had planned on going
to Chicago, about three weeks from now, to go on the nation's most
powerful independent station DAILY for six or eight weeks,
thereafter continuing just the regular Sunday program. This would
reach a VAST audience thru Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan,
Iowa. Then the opportunity came to go on another Mexican station,
recently increased to 150,000 watts power. The time, 9:PM Central
war time Sunday nights---best time of the week---and the most
expensive. It is more than I can obligate myself to on my personal
responsibility. In the last BULLETIN I asked for pledges. Well,
many pledges have come in, but it is ONLY HALF ENOUGH. Others now
want that time. By long distance the managers have just agreed to
hold off ten more days for us. So I now ask MORE OF YOU to send in
pledges, (as God makes possible) for weekly or monthly offerings
over and above your REGULAR offerings, or tithes, for the rest of
the work in general. We MUST not let this wonderful opportunity
slip. This station would give us around an added million listeners
in Illinois, Ind., Ohio, Mich., Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey,
West Va., Ky., and Tenn., Mo., Ark., La., Miss.,Texas, Ga., and
Kansas. It would almost DOUBLE the present listening audience. It
is my personal responsibility if we start, and I cannot undertake
it without reasonable assurance of that much increase in offerings
received. Many letters have come from those states, especially
Pennsylvania and Eastern states, joyful over the prospects of
getting to hear the program PLAINLY, and earlier, on that station.
They say they get it plainly and strong. As it is now, I cannot go
on that station and also the one in Chicago, without additional
pledges. These pledges to be conditioned on your continued
ability, as God provides, of course. You would not be in any way
bound by it if circumstances change. ALSO I MUST TELL YOU WE HAVE
RUN ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS SHORT OF REGULAR EXPENSES THE PAST THREE
OR FOUR WEEKS. Even to keep the regular established work going, we
