Dear Brethren of God's Church:
This letter is being written high in the air, with mingled
emotions of thanksgiving and gratitude, hope and JOY! My most
fervent heart-rending and prevailing prayers of the last ten
months, combined with yours have been answered!
Messrs. Portune, Antion and Dart -- all Vice Presidents,
Mr. Stanley Rader and I, are returning to Pasadena from a
momentous meeting with my son Garner Ted Armstrong. I had spent
the better part of two days with him last week, and I knew then
that with God's help, and countless hours of submissive, prevailing
prayer on his part, coupled with the prayers of thousands for him,
his problems have now been overcome. There is no question in our
minds that God is calling him back now, with plans for the greatest
lunge forward this Work of God has ever taken. He is like a NEW
Garner Ted Armstrong, and we believe God will now use him with far
greater power in getting out Christ's Gospel to the world than ever
before. We know God has forgiven, and filled him -- and us -- with
a completely new dedication for the finishing of the Work for this
age.
Plans were made with enthusiasm today for a completely
NEW program of getting Christ's Message to the whole world in
multiplied POWER! We know God has inspired a wholly NEW format
for the television program. It will no longer be just a
documentary -- it will get the real MEANING of events and world
conditions across to viewers, tied in with PROPHECY, and a
dynamic calling of viewers to REPENTANCE and turning to the living
CHRIST! There will be no pussyfooting. Ted is simply filled with
desire and the urge of God's Spirit to get at this. The same on
radio -- and this time, by BOTH of us. I will continue on the air
at least once a week, and he probably will carry the radio program
six times a week. We're going to make world happenings and
conditions MEAN SOMETHING, as GOD sees them from His high heaven,
and HIS MESSAGE will come with POWER!
Then, SOMETHING NEW! Garner Ted is going to make personal
appearances in many cities in the United States and Canada, in
large auditoriums. Instead of running from this recent wave of
persecution, God is showing us how to TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT, and
make it WORK FOR HIM! It will swell the crowds.
We are going to put increased vigor in messages in
