The big Public Appearance Campaign in Saigon, South Vietnam,
is now scheduled for next December. Another big Public Appearance
Campaign in Bangkok is scheduled for next January. I expect crowds
of many THOUSANDS at each to hear the Gospel that has not been
proclaimed to the world since the first century.
Did you happen to notice the very unusual feature story in
the July 15 edition of TIME Magazine? This story, "IN QUEST OF
LEADERSHIP," showed the pictures of 150 leaders of the future --
from all over the world. This portion of the letter is being
written in my plane, over the Mediterranean Sea, flying from Cairo
to Geneva where I have an appointment to meet with one of the
pictured 150 -- Sadruddin Aga Kahn, United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees.
But what I want to call your attention to here is the two
future leaders pictured, from South Vietnam, and from Thailand.
On page 46, upper left corner is Hoang Duc Nha, Minister of
Information for South Vietnam. He is one who has taken the lead in
helping me in Saigon. He will be a real leader in getting out the
crowds for my Public Appearance campaign there. I hope at least
the final meeting will be held in the University stadium -- perhaps
all meetings. There are seats for ten thousand but standing room
for perhaps another fifty thousand.
Another is pictured on page 47, upper middle of page, only
22 years old, already a national hero. His name is Sombat
Phamrongthapnyawong. TIME says of him, he "became a national
hero in Thailand after he helped topple the military regime
. . . last October. As head of the National Student Center of
Thailand, the soft-spoken honor graduate of Bangkok's Kasgtsart
University turned out 200,000 students for a demonstration that
led to the first civilian government in the country in 25 years.
Since then, the Student Center has been besieged by Thais who
believe that Sambat can solve problems more efficiently than the
government."
One very high and powerful in Thailand is inviting this
young man on my behalf to come to Pasadena, and speak to our
students. I hope he may become chairman of the committee to get
out the crowd for my Personal Appearance Campaign in Bangkok next
January.
In every place, God is opening mighty doors -- and giving us
such favor AT THE TOP of nations all over the world, that the most
energetic LEADERS in these nations are coming forward to SPONSOR,
and get out huge crowds for these Public Appearance Campaigns.
Brethren and Co-Workers, THIS is now THE MAIN THRUST of
God's Work on earth. NEVER, in the history of mankind, has there
been anything like it! If we were trying to carry out the kind of
crusade Dr. Billy Graham's team carries on, we could never reach
these nations as we are doing. We then would have to go only where
there are large enough memberships of fundamentalist Protestant
