take advantage of the opportunity within a very short time, it will
be offered to interests with ample capital to purchase, and who
know the profit-making possibilities of these stations.
Breath-taking though it is, it will take ONE MILLION DOLLARS CASH
to take full advantage of the present amazing opportunities. On
that amount, we could purchase both radio stations, developing one
to the full honest maximum of power for which it is both licensed
and equipped, ON A CLEAR CHANNEL (some of these Mexican stations
are not using all the power they are supposed to, in actual fact),
--we could pay off HALF the purchase-price on Ambassador College
property in Pasadena, pay a full HALF on the Switzerland property
and thus obtain a very large cut in the principal price, and retain
an ample cash surplus in the bank to fortify this work against the
occasional crisis we have had to weather thru ever since the work
started.
The amount needed is so large that for MOST of you, I can only
ask you. JOIN ME IN BELIEVING PRAYER! Ask God to REVEAL His will,
and to ACT for us ACCORDING TO HIS WILL! If this is, as I frankly
feel, opened by the Eternal then He is able to lay this heavily on
the heart of some one or a few people of means who are able to
supply this great and immediate need. Yes, GOD IS ABLE!
Let me say that, if I could have my preference, I should prefer
to operate these Mexican stations, if we are permitted to acquire
them, on a sustaining basis, non-commercial--simply owned by the
RADIO CHURCH OF GOD, Inc., as NON-profit educational enterprises of
our non-profit corporation. I have ideas in mind which I feel
would attract to these stations a tremendous listening audience,
and I feel certain their entire operating cost could be met as the
expenses of our present work are met--thru the tithes and offerings
of God's people who wish to see His work carried on unshackled and
FREE to proclaim His Truth. However, there is a possibility of a
net profit as high as a quarter million a year from these
properties, and if those who might make their purchase possible for
us demand a return out of profits for what they thus make possible
with their money, then perhaps we would find it necessary to
organize a separate corporation for that purpose.
Let me make it plain and clear to our Co-Workers just here, too,
that this work of God, for the protection of all its Co-Workers, is
INCORPORATED under the laws of the state of California, as The
Radio Church of God, Inc.--a non-profit association and CHURCH, for
the spreading of the GOSPEL. No person is permitted by law to ever
make a penny of profit in any manner from this work. Very strict
records are kept in our accounting department, and our books are
audited regularly by a certified public accountant. This work is
financially responsible, and above reproach.
ONE WAY YOU MAY BE ABLE TO HELP GREATLY:
Now with the starting of AMBASSADOR COLLEGE, we shall need
endowments and special gifts for that purpose, as well as for the
other rapidly-growing phases of this work.
Beside outright GIFTS, and generous OFFERINGS, and tithes, there
