Dear Friend and Co-Worker:
I have another most IMPORTANT decision to make within the
next few weeks. I need your advice---your opinion and help. In
multitude of counsellors there is safety.
God has moved swiftly, mightily, miraculously, in opening
to us great new opportunities for the accomplishment of His Work,
especially during the past six weeks. He has opened before us
opportunities beyond our wildest dreams a year ago. He has placed
in our hands facilities and actual physical assets that are nothing
short of breathtaking. Surely God is leading, and blessing this
work in most pronounced manner.
And now, on the heels of the magnificent buildings and
grounds placed in our hands for AMBASSADOR COLLEGE in Pasadena,
comes another even more breath-taking opportunity---so amazing as
to seem almost fantastic.
The unbelievable opportunity actually is OPENED to us. It
is not a question of "CAN we do it,"---but entirely a question of
whether this is a further step opened for this new undertaking by
the hand of God, or whether it is NOT of God, but merely a
circumstance which we ought to reject.
When I found this beautiful estate in Pasadena was actually
available to us on a basis within our reach, I still delayed the
final decision several days---until I was SURE it was opened by
God's hand. I sought every expert and technical advise, and I
prayed earnestly and continued to pray until at last I knew God
had given me the answer---then I went ahead.
Now a most important mission of AMBASSADOR COLLEGE is to
teach foreign languages. While it is not to be just a Bible
College, or ministerial college, but rather a new-type general
liberal arts institution, yet I do have faith that out of it will
come ministers, evangelists, and assistants for this great
expanding work. Christ's commission is not "Preach the Gospel in
your own neighborhood,"---or even just "to your own country," but
He commanded, "GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD." This Gospel of the
Kingdom must be preached in all the world as a witness unto ALL
NATIONS, before the end of this age. Well, some may ask, are not
MOST of the denominations preaching into foreign nations? Yes, but
