Dear Inner Family of Brethren
and Co-Workers with Christ:
I have just received great news from Manila. Once again
I am writing from my "office" in my plane, in the air, far above
the ground. We have just taken off from Amman, Jordan, where I
had a most eventful and busy six days -- the opening visit toward
another mass-audience campaign.
In Amman I received word from Manila that already more
than a thousand who attended the big three-night public appearance
campaign have signed up to attend regular weekly Bible studies.
The main purpose -- the announcement of the true GOSPEL as a
witness to that nation -- was accomplished overwhelmingly by those
three giant meetings at the Coliseum, attended by many leaders
and top people of the nation. God is not now calling many to
conversion. And Christ said none can come to Him except the
Father draw him. But when more than a thousand are responding,
desiring to know more of the truth, undoubtedly leading to the
conversion of many of them, that is an overwhelming success. God
is showing us that by reaching first the very top officials of the
nations -- the presidents, kings, emperors, prime ministers, then
cabinet members, lawmakers, educators, and on down, He is now
opening the only doors that can carry out His great Commission of
getting the Gospel before these nations, which cannot be reached
any other way.
This overwhelming Manila response is by far the largest
harvest of any personal appearance campaigns to date. Although
all have been successful, and produced fine results, no campaign
in the United States or Canada has enjoyed such huge crowds, nor
such an overwhelming after-response. This PROVES that our great
God, at last, has opened the one door that will get His last
Message to all the world, as a witness to all nations!
This was my first visit to Jordan in this new program
leading to giant public appearances in world capitals. I think
it may have been the most successful first visit to a head of state
and a capital of a nation so far. I had a simply wonderful visit
with King Hussein. I think the picture of his opening greeting
(to appear later in The PLAIN TRUTH), as we first met, tells the
story of how warmly and enthusiastically I was received.
Back in 1967, meetings were set up between King Hussein
