we were luncheon guests of Prince Mikasa, brother of the Emperor.
Preliminary plans were laid for carrying the Gospel into Japan on
a large scale -- by radio, in Japanese language, reaching many
million listeners -- in 2-page ads in Reader's Digest and other
publications.
December: Joint participation with Hebrew University in
archaeological project completed in palace-residence of Israel
President Zalman Shazar. Some ten days later, Dr. Benjamin Mazar,
former President of Hebrew University and now director of
archaeological dig, with Dr. Josef Aviram, visited both Texas and
Pasadena campuses of Ambassador College, addressing students.
The circulation of The PLAIN TRUTH leaped from 1,150,000 to
1,500, 000 during 1968 -- a gain of more than a third of a million
subscribers. It now has a total reader-ship of around 5 million!
I repeat -- every single dollar in this all-important Work
of God HELPS SAVE LIVES -- accomplishes more than any way it could
be used!
You and I have been called and chosen by the living Christ
to be HIS CO-WORKERS in GOD'S GREAT WORK. We have been DRAFTED --
yet it was not a compulsory draft -- we VOLUNTARILY accepted the
draft. YOU have the very rewarding satisfaction of KNOWING that
your sacrifice -- your financial help, and that of YOUR PRAYERS --
has ACCOMPLISHED MUCH that is LASTING and ETERNAL! YOU are having
a PART in helping to CHANGE THE WORLD -- paving the way for
Christ's coming -- and then to SAVE THE WORLD!
One thing you have helped pay for is the Ambassador College
Bible CORRESPONDENCE COURSE. There is none like it. It makes the
Bible COME ALIVE! It is INTERESTING! It is VALUABLE! As a
Co-Worker, you have had a part in placing this in the hands of MANY

ARE NOT TAKING THIS CORRESPONDENCE COURSE! You simply have no idea
how absorbing -- how INTERESTING -- it is.
I want to ask you a PERSONAL FAVOR -- if you are one who is
not taking this course. Will you request a copy of LESSON #l? Look

Bible. You'll be surprised how interesting and valuable it is!
You've already helped pay for it -- now ENJOY IT! Profit by it!
Will you do that for me? Then, if you like it as well as I think
you will, go right on with the course!
Well, we did finally get through the difficult month of
December. But January is usually just about as hard a month for

January. The financial need is GREAT. And this letter is a week
late getting out. Will you PRAY EARNESTLY about it, and rush to us
the largest offering, beside tithes, that you can? The need is
always great.
And may I say a word about the loans of larger sums? These
