I was interrupted in the midst of writing this letter, by our treasurer,
Mr. Leroy Neff. Income has suddenly dropped down during the past six
weeks--people apparently are spending money on Xmas gifts for a pagan holiday.
I had to make severe cuts in getting the Gospel by TV, radio and The PLAIN
TRUTH in black Africa and in ITALY. Italy had suddenly opened to us. I have
had to cut TV and the PLAIN TRUTH circulation in half there, and altogether in
black Africa. Need I say to you God's Work NEEDS YOUR PRAYERS?--and a
GREAT SUDDEN SACRIFICE IN FINANCIAL OFFERINGS? We never solicit the
public for contributions. But YOU are co-workers and members with us and with
Christ. I pray God to prosper you so you may be able to come quickly to the
rescue in a BIG WAY. I do not ask even you brethren often.
With deep love to you, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
