to be officially invited as guest of the government of the People's Republic of
China
to meet privately with top officials, and speak before groups of leaders of this
new
Communist republic! I was able to proclaim to those leaders--now molding the
minds
and the thinking of their ONE BILLION people, the largest nation on earth, and
therefore
leaders RESPONSIBLE for the minds of ONE-FOURTH OF THE EARTH'S POPULATION--
the true Gospel of the coming KINGDOM OF GOD. I did it in language they well
understood--and without offense--for they enthusiastically invited me to come
again!
And this has led to a similar invitation to Moscow, and to North Korea, as
well
as Poland and other nations I have so far not visited!
In spite of the massive attack by the State of California, GOD'S WORK
LEAPS
ON AHEAD more powerfully than ever!
Expect great things from this Work this year, and on into this new decade
of
the 80s!
