the companies of which Dr. Dahdah is Chairman.
The reception and dinner was held on a very spacious
veranda on the second story, overlooking the sea and the lights of
the city. It was a warm evening, and delightful in the open air.
Many important people were present, to whom I was introduced. At
dinner, I sat with a Dr. and Mrs. Charles Malik. Dr. Malik is a
former President of the General Assembly of the United Nations, New
York, and today he is a member of the cabinet and legislative body.
He asked many questions about Ambassador College and our worldwide
Work, and seemed pleased.
As a coincidence, I also know Mr. Adam Malik, also a former
President of the General Assembly of the United Nations, and
Foreign Minister of Indonesia. He is President Suharto's right
hand man, and second in authority in the Government of Indonesia.
I have visited him in his home in Djakarta. Also, I happen to know
another very important Mr. Malik, of New Delhi, a good friend of
King Leopold.
All in all, the Beirut visit was very important to the
Work, and in spite of the fact that the religion of the Arab world
is Moslem, as I have said, the real GOSPEL has not been preached to
the world for 18 1/2 centuries, except through this Work, and it is
NEW -- and does not offend Moslems. The world has its RELIGIONS.
I do not go to them with another or competing "RELIGION." But with
NEW revealed TRUTH from the God and Creator of the Arab people --
and ALL people! And THEY ARE LISTENING! AND INTERESTED!
I have SO MUCH MORE to tell you -- but must not take time.
This Work of God is off to a TOTALLY NEW START. More radio
stations -- more TV stations -- a WHOLE NEW BIG CAMPAIGN of
personal evangelism -- other leaders and powerful speakers, among
our very top officials in the Work, are leaving desk-executive jobs
and carrying on PERSONAL APPEARANCE meetings in important cities,
in campaigns quite similar to those my son, Garner Ted Armstrong,
has been conducting.
The GOOD NEWS is now going out to a GREATLY EXPANDED list
of Co-Workers, and occasional donors who are not regular
Co-Workers. The whole Work HAS TAKEN ON NEW LIFE!
But that is all the more reason it now NEEDS YOUR EARNEST
PRAYERS! YOU can do as much by PRAYING EARNESTLY for God's
blessing and guidance on His Work, as most of us who have active
full-time jobs in the Work.
I know that God will be with me day after tomorrow night,
when I have this unprecedented opportunity to address so many of
the very TOP LEADERS in this great nation. I shall not be confined
to 12 minutes -- but free to speak as long as I need and hold their
interest. I shall GIVE them the true GOSPEL that has not been
proclaimed to the world for 18 1/2 centuries! I shall go through
the Bible from Genesis to Revelation -- including the Old Testament
prophecies of the coming of Jesus and the Kingdom of God, and
Christ's own Message.
