Dear Co-Workers in the
Work of the Living God:
Autumn is HERE! BIG THINGS are now ahead in this dynamic
Work of the living GOD! And this is, or should be, YOUR LIFE --
and MINE!
It's going to take a little space to tell you all of it.
The new college year gets under way tomorrow. Our largest
incoming freshman class is already on campus. Freshman Orientation
and the annual Faculty Reception for new students and professors is
tomorrow night.
Sunday I start the most important round-the-world trip
yet. At Tokyo the Bible study requested by Prince Mikasa takes
place this trip. I have received word that it is to turn into a
lecture on the Bible, with up to 60 of the very top people of Japan
present -- including probably the former Prime Minister, members of
the Cabinet and Diet, and leading educators of leading
universities. Can you imagine what an opportunity this is?

Mikasa reads Hebrew. But they know little or nothing of the
tremendous ANNOUNCEMENT Christ brought from God -- of the coming
KINGDOM OF GOD -- the only true Gospel. That Gospel -- the Gospel
of Jesus Christ has not been proclaimed to the world since the
first century. WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY to get that dynamic Message
before the LEADERS OF a GREAT NATION! And a nation that already
has honored me with the highest honor ever conferred on an
unofficial alien.
Enroute, I will stop off first on our campus in England,
to speak to the incoming new students there at Freshman
Orientation, and attend the Faculty Reception there.
The Personal Assistant to the President of Lebanon, Dr.
Dahdah, whom I have met, will accompany me from England to Beirut,
where I am invited to a personal meeting with the President. This
will be a VERY important meeting -- my first with leaders of the
Arab world. Others are to follow. In Israel, earlier this month,
a plan to help bring a friendlier feeling and relation between the
Arab world and Israel was suggested from the office of the Ministry
of Education. Many think it possible that I can accomplish more,
in my capacity as an Educator, Editor and Spiritual Leader of God's
