Dear Co-Worker with Christ:
This, I hope, will be GOOD NEWS for you!
A new magazine is to be born -- just for OUR CO-WORKERS!
You will receive your copy every month -- starting as soon as we
can edit and print the first copy. The need of it, as an
additional service to our family of Co-Workers, who serve with us,
was impressed on me only last night. I do not yet know even what
we shall call it. Possibly "Our Co-Workers' Magazine." Or, "Our
Co-Workers' Journal."
I want to tell you more about the tremendous strides that
have been made in this great WORK OF GOD during the past year. One
year ago I could never have remotely IMAGINED what great leaps
ahead we would be taking. You see, I am not the Head of this Work.
It is not my work, it is GOD'S. And Almighty God has set His
divine Son, the living (Eternally living) Jesus Christ as its
directing HEAD. And HE has been given ALL POWER -- all the power
that exists in the entire vast universe -- as He Himself said
(Matthew 28:18). And, saying that, He gave the Great Commission
He is using YOU and me as His instruments in carrying out today!
His is supernatural power. He lays the plans -- opens the doors --
leads the way. Our part is to walk through those doors, and to
FOLLOW where He leads.
The one single greatest leap ahead ever given to this Work
at one time was last summer, when the advertising pages of Reader's
Digest opened to us. We had been using double-page advertising
space in Reader's Digest eight and nine years ago -- in Britain and
in Australia and New Zealand. At that time we placed a straight
religious Gospel message in that space. But the home office of
Reader's Digest, in the United States, had a policy against
religious advertising. So they closed their pages to our use.
Since, we have come to see that a straight Biblical
religious message, using religious words and terminology, will not
be read by a majority of the readers of mass-circulation magazines
with millions of copies circulation. It is the same with
broadcasting. Most radio and television stations refuse to let
religious programs go out over their facilities. They know that
such programs have a very limited audience -- they call it the
"religious audience." There does exist a small minority of the
