Dear Brethren and Co-Workers with Christ:
In the face of BAD NEWS in newspapers and newscasts, I BRING YOU
GOOD NEWS!
The tithes, offerings and efforts YOU and I are putting into this groat
Work,
as co-workers with the living Jesus Christ, are PRODUCING RICH FRUIT FOR
GOD'S KINGDOM! When our lives and efforts please God, He BLESSES US--and
He is richly blessing us now!
Let me give you a brief report on the results of your efforts, your
tithes and
offerings, your prevailing PRAYERS--and MINE--so far in this new year, 1982.
What RESULTS has God given for our sacrifice, prayers and efforts?
I have just received the following report from our Mail Processing Center
here at Pasadena:
· The 1982 year-to-date telephone response to the telecast stands at
85,342
calls. This is a 658 percent increase over the same period in 1981. Also, this
total
almost equals one half of all TV calls received during the entirety of 1981.
At this rate of growth, we expect that all records for telephone response
will
be broken within a few months.
· The first airing on WNEW (New York) pulled excellent response. This
past
weekend, our newest television station, WNEW (Channel 5 in New York), pulled
257 calls, 93 percent of which were from first-time callers.
This is unusually good for the first time a station airs the program.
Already
it stands as the third largest pulling station we have, topping the response of
126
other stations.
· Total calls from all other sources are also increasing. At the present
rate of
growth, the total number of calls from all sources is expected to reach 750,000
by
the end of the year.
· Nearly 200,000 new people were added to the subscription list. This is
an
all-time high for the first two months of any year since the Work began.
