go backward unless we as Co-Workers wake up and do our part. For
this I have wept and prayed that some way may be opened up that
this great Work may not slack off, but GROW in power to warn this
world. I personally have only my tithes and offerings which I am
sure mean so little alone. I do, however, have a place I am trying
to sell. God willing, I will be able to at least put most of it in
God's Work. Please Brethren, you of Headquarters, pray that God
will open our eyes that we may better see how we too, may serve and
bear our share of the load."
Letters like that rend our hearts here, and I hope they
serve as an inspiration and encouragement to all Co-Workers!
A Florida Co-Worker writes: "Having just received your
Co-Worker letter of February 27, this small amount is sent as an
offering to help in holding open the doors which Jesus Christ has
opened. Mr. Armstrong, you have an awesome responsibility, and we
pray for you and that Christ will give you strength and wisdom."
Remember that even the widow's mites HELP GREATLY in this
Work.
A woman in California writes: "My tithes are from the
ironings I take in and also what allowances my husband gives me.
To me it's the greatest Work on this earth and the most important.
It's the only money that I feel is worth spending. I pray every
day for this great Work and for His servant's wisdom, guidance, and
good sound judgment."
Your earnest PRAYERS are as needed as money offerings! A
Tennessee Co-Worker writes: "As I read your letter I was stricken
with the dire necessity of keeping the Work going and I, having no
money, asked God to let me have $5 or $10 to send. It then
occurred to me that I had not balanced our bank statement received
yesterday, so I sat down and went to work on it. What did I find
but an error in our favor -- in the amount of $10! The power of
prayer is indeed awesome!"
That reminds me of the time, when Garner Ted was a few
months old and hungry and we were out of both milk and money -- and
I went into the bathroom, closed the door knelt beside the tub, and
asked God to please send a dime for a quart of milk -- and within
the minute it came! At another time, when Ted was two years and
five months old, and had been dumb -- unable to talk -- he was
stricken with pneumonia. My wife called me. I rushed to his side,
knelt with her beside his bed, asked God to heal him -- and then it
occurred to me to ask God to give him the power of speech. The
fever left quickly. The next day he was able to say a number of
words. In three days he was talking in sentences! The power of
prayer is, indeed, AWESOME! YOUR prayers -- believing prayers --
are needed!
From Spokane, Washington, a Co-Worker writes: "God has
shown me that I have too much money invested in the farm for the
amount of return. So I have decided, or I should say 'WE' (my wife
and I) have decided to sell the farm. After certain obligations
are met, we plan to give the rest to God. We certainly hope and
