Brethren, I KNOW we can finance this HOUSE FOR GOD, if we
allow God to make our hearts willing. Two years ago we were able
to contribute $150,000 per month to the BUILDING FUND for other
buildings! There are almost half again MORE OF US now! We CAN
contribute $200,000 per month to this EXTRA SPECIAL FUND -- IF OUR
HEARTS ARE RIGHT WITH GOD -- IF we really DO not put other false
"gods" or interests, or desires, ahead of HIM! And IF we can put
in $200,000 per month, with the financing big banks and insurance
companies are willing to make available to us, WE CAN START
BREAKING GROUND THIS AUTUMN!
If we fail, -- well, I'm simply going to lose heart! Those
people in David's day did not have God's HOLY SPIRIT. Our response
to this appeal will show whether WE have! We can do it IF WE ARE
WILLING!
ARE YOU WILLING, according as God has prospered you? I
know too well, many of you simply are not able. God understands
that, and so do I. But ENOUGH of us are ABLE -- IF willing! Are
you PRAYING? I will know by the over-all answer.
Brethren, I think we are going to break ground very soon on
that beautiful building!
With love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
P.S. If you did not send in your statement of intention, IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO NOW. I cannot authorize this work to proceed
unless the statements of intention mount up to $200,000 per month.
It does not bind you -- but lets me know whether we can go ahead.
I do not want any to give what you are not able, or to harm
yourself or family. But we should be willing to SACRIFICE and GIVE
UP things we planned to do or buy if they are not necessary. We
should use WISDOM! PRAY for wisdom and good judgment.
