Dear Co-Workers in the
Work of the Living GOD:
Plans are now being made to launch perhaps the biggest
drive to get the Gospel into many nations in the history of the
Work. I feel it will be the dynamic so-called shot-in-the-arm the
Work needs at this point. It concerns something that is developing
out of the many invitations I have had to have personal meetings
with heads of many governments around the world. For example, my
next visit to Japan is now definitely planned for a full-time Bible
study with some of the highest officials of that nation. I will be
going fully into the real gospel which was not preached to the
world for 18 1/2 centuries. They have come to have confidence in
me. God has given me great favor in the eyes of many world
leaders. Now the time has come where I shall be able to get this
tremendous message over not only to heads of nations, but to THEIR
PEOPLE.
For example, I have just come from a visit with Emperor
Haile Selassie of Ethiopia. He mentioned that he realized I was
the spiritual leader of a worldwide following, and he accorded me
a respect that was unique, as did many top officials of that
nation. At one meeting I spoke to the Ambassadors of 19 nations,
including the Ambassador of the People's Republic of China, and
received an invitation to visit Peking and top leaders of China.
I cannot give you details right now, but I feel I will have
a most exciting and unusual announcement to make in my next letter
to you.
I have been working energetically on the revised edition
of my Autobiography. The revised edition of the first volume is
now all set to type, ready for the press. Most of the second
volume is also set to type. Have decided to offer immediately
Volume I, and Volume II will follow within 90 days.
To give you a bit of an advance idea of what is in the
Autobiography, I quote here a portion of the introduction in the
book:
"From beginnings humble and small without parallel, to the
magnitude of today's enterprises and worldwide impact is the story
of GROWTH unbelievable! It is the incredible story of something
never done before -- never done THIS WAY -- a seemingly impossible
