Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
GREETINGS from our campus in England. I have big news
for you. Events continue to accelerate, all over the world, faster
and faster.
On this present trip I have been in twelve different
countries, so far. Things are happening, not only in vitally
significant world events, but also in stepping up the power of this
great Work of God, into which YOU and I have been called by the
living Jesus Christ!
While America was experiencing the most frightful riots
and violence so far in this upsurge of racial strife, I have been
seeing vitally significant events in Europe and the Middle East.
You'll remember that more than a year ago I signed the largest
contract for broadcast time ever entered into, in all probability,
for time on a single station - Radio Jerusalem. This contract was
with King Hussein's Government of Jordan. Three days before we
were to have sent out the first broadcast over that super-power
station, the "Six-Day War" broke out between the Arabs and
Israelis. The Israelis took the "old city" of Jerusalem which had
been a part of the Kingdom of Jordan. Then I arranged with Jordan
government officials to broadcast over their station at Amman.
On this trip I was flying back to the Middle East to keep
an appointment for a conference with King Hussein. But the
Jewish-Arab strife was flaring out anew. King Hussein was on
emergency visits to Nasser at Cairo, and to Baghdad, Kuwait, Saudi
Arabia, and other countries. Jordan government officials advised
by telegraph they feared it might not be safe for an American even
to be seen in Amman at this time.
However, I did want to visit our office in Jerusalem,
established just before the war. And I had the experience of
partaking of the Passover -- "Lord's Supper" -- as Jesus introduced
it for the New Testament, commemorating His death for us, on the
very anniversary of that event, IN JERUSALEM, and in our own
office-residence there! It possibly was the first time Christians
had partaken of this impressive ceremony in the old city of
Jerusalem since the original apostles and Christians fled Jerusalem
in 70 A. D.!
