Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
I have just returned from England and Europe. I want to
report on events -- for they are happening fast. Every month, now,
I have exciting and IMPORTANT news to report to you. It's hard to
realize how FAST things are moving, now, toward the most colossal
CRISIS of all world history.
When I wrote to you a month ago, the 22nd college year was
just getting started on the Pasadena campus. I flew first to the
Texas campus, spoke to the new students at Orientation, attended
the Faculty Reception, introducing new incoming students to the
Faculty. Then on to the campus at Bricket Wood, near London, in
England. There I addressed new incoming students at Orientation,
attended the Faculty Reception, spoke at a couple student Forums
and Assemblies, taught three or four classes of new students. So
all three campuses of Ambassador College are off to a big start on
another school year -- with largest enrollment so far at all three.
Enrollment on the three campuses is now close to 1,200.
But do you realize HOW IMPORTANT this is? This great WORK
OF GOD is growing so rapidly, as we come in on the "home stretch"
of the Work, that it is absorbing all qualifying graduates. This
last graduation, early June, EVERY GRADUATE was taken right into
the Work, full-time -- think of it, EVERY ONE! Some became ordained
ministers, going out to counsel with people being converted,
requesting baptism -- and this number GROWS EVERY YEAR! Some went
into foreign offices around the world, trained for jobs opening,
reading, and answering the heavy mail that comes to these offices
from the broadcast, from reading The PLAIN TRUTH and studying the
Bible CORRESPONDENCE COURSE (now more than 100,000 students
enrolled worldwide!!!). Many writing in for booklets and The PLAIN
TRUTH from reading our big advertisements now appearing in the
world's largest mass-circulation magazines and newspapers.
This new ADVERTISING IMPACT, of these ads in Reader's
Digest, LIFE magazine, London Sunday TIMES, EXPRESS, and TELEGRAPH
-- and other publications -- is bringing such a HEAVY RESPONSE --
more than 50,000 so far -- that it takes a bigger staff of trained
people to handle all these inquiries.
We MUST take in more students every year, for we MUST HAVE
