In those countries, the GOVERNMENT controls all media
reaching the masses. Radio time cannot be bought, nor television.
No free press or free speech.
"The WORK" could never have even STARTED in any other
country. ONLY in America, where the common people contribute
enough money. ONLY in America, where the government allows such
funds to be expended to give the True Gospel into other countries.
We tried, after 19 years' growth, to reach other countries
by radio. We bought, mostly a "pig in a poke." We simply WERE
NOT GETTING CHRIST'S MESSAGE INTO THOSE COUNTRIES.
After 40 years God has performed an astounding, tremendous
MIRACLE! He has opened unheard of doors. He has given me
astonishing FAVOR, with the top HEADS OF STATE, of nation after
nation, after nation, AROUND THE WORLD -- yes, in Europe, Asia,
Africa, and Central and South America! AROUND THE WORLD!
This is being followed up by "testimonial dinners"
sponsored by high ranking cabinet members, or others high in the
governments of nations -- and with the blessing of the king,
president, prime minister, or chief of state.
At the "testimonial dinners" are from fifty to one or two
hundred high ranking people of the government, leading
universities, and leading businessmen. At these dinners, the top
key people of the nation get a general summary of the very Message
Christ brought from God. They then know what message I want to get
to their nation -- those in it responsible for the spiritual and
moral welfare of their country.
This is then followed by a PUBLIC APPEARANCE CAMPAIGN.
High government officials assume the responsibility of GETTING OUT
THOUSANDS OF HIGHEST AND UPPER CLASS PEOPLE -- the top substantial
people of the country.
These leading officials have come to look on me (because
of the favor God has providentially given me in their eyes), as a
"BUILDER OF BRIDGES FOR PEACE BETWEEN NATIONS," and as "AN
AMBASSADOR WITHOUT PORTFOLIO FOR WORLD PEACE."
And WORK is the NEW and LATEST phase of "t h e W O R K."
The ANNOUNCEMENT IS BEING GIVEN -- "in ALL THE WORLD, for
a WITNESS UNTO ALL NATIONS!"
All of this is an example of HOW the Living CHRIST
actually and literally guides, and Himself directs this Work. It
cannot be, and IS NOT, a static Work on a constant unchanging
routine. It sometimes requires CHANGE, new ideas, ways, and
methods.
This NEW DIMENSION, now getting the Message into the great
mass-population, Gentile countries, is something that could not
have been done even seven to ten years ago. Even if Christ had
