college, to be trained as the KIND of professors that meet the high
standards at AMBASSADOR.
Every effort is being made to secure adequate housing
accommodations for students. We are now negotiating for the large
and lovely estate adjoining the college campus. This estate
compromises about one and three-quarters acres of beautiful
grounds, and a fine 22-room house which will make a most splendid
men's dormitory. We have another very splendid property in mind
which we hope to be able to lease for the girl's dormitory. We are
in touch with the owners of the property adjoining the campus, who
desire to sell it and wish us to have it. Only complication is a
5-year lease to another party, but we are negotiating also with
this party and hope, with God's help, to work out an arrangement
whereby we may have possession of this large and splendid property
before college opens this fall.
AND NOW COMES GREATEST DEVELOPMENT OF ALL
On the heels of all these amazing occurrences, miracle after
miracle, comes to us now the probable offer to sell to us two great
super-powered radio stations, located just across the border in
Mexico. I must say first, that a prior option has been given to
another party, expiring June 15th. We will not know definitely
until that date, but the indication is that on that date we shall
have the opportunity to purchase and own the MOST POWERFUL RADIO
STATION IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE--perhaps in all the world!--in
addition to another very fine 50,000-watt station!
Now some three or four years ago we had an opportunity to buy a
Mexican radio station, but never one as good, as valuable, so
powerful as this. In fact, these stations will cost a lot more
money than the one then offered to us. Apparently God's time had
not then come. But somehow I have a conviction that it has come,
now, and that it is God's will that we now acquire this
tremendously powerful facilities for carrying the true GOSPEL to
the world.
If so, Friends and Co-Workers, GOD WILL HAVE TO PERFORM ANOTHER
MIRACLE, one that would appear, to our eyes, far greater than any
He has performed for us so far--but OUR GOD IS NOT LIMITED--
NOTHING IS TOO HARD OR DIFFICULT FOR OUR GOD, and if it is His
will, and His time has come, then nothing can prevent. If not,
then of course we don't want it.
This is a most solemn, serious matter. These radio stations can
be purchased only for CASH. They are now producing a very large
profit for their owners--running well into six figures a year.
They cannot, of course, be bought cheaply. There are, as I
understand, two owners. One must sell on advice of his physician
because of health--he must dispense with this responsibility and
activity or not live many months. The other is a wealthy Mexican
who has many other interests and finds his interest in the radio
station is embarrassing his other interests and his personal
political prestige, and he feels disposed to sell. If these super-
powered properties are to come into our hands, the action must be
quick and decisive, for time is at a premium. If we are unable to
