visits and help. Besides, each minister has one to three sermons
to prepare every week, as several ministers pastor two and even
three local congregations.
Now here is the REAL NEED. We now have up to one hundred
college graduated, ministerial trained men, having to find outside
jobs to support their families, yet competent and ready to be put
full time into the ministry when the Church can afford to hire
them. They are helping even now in whatever amount of time they
are able, but they have to earn a living and we need to be able to
hire them full time in God's ministry. The servant is worthy of
his hire.
There are thousands of precious lives whom God has called
and who are ready to be reaped into Christ's harvest, but the
laborers are too few. Jesus said for us to PRAY for God to send
these trained and prepared laborers into the field to reap this
harvest of precious lives for all eternity in God's Kingdom.
Brethren, I urge you in Jesus' name to go to your knees and
pray about this. God's work is growing as never before. It needs
more money to hire new laborers to reap even more precious lives
for the Kingdom of God. They, in turn, will become co-workers with
us to help God's work to grow even more and more abundantly.
Thank God that he has blessed his work so abundantly and
helped his servants at headquarters to manage finances so that
God's work is in solid and sound financial condition. Let us keep
it that way. Let us grow closer to Jesus Christ and to God and
they will become closer to us. Please take this very seriously.
With great love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
