Let's now set our hearts and whole interest on the SOON-
coming Kingdom of God, when we shall shine as the sun in brightness
and find happiness forever! We--you backing me up--are preparing
the way before Christ's soon coming and his Kingdom! What else now
counts in this world? I ask you to sacrifice--go without some
things you might want--put all you can spare into this GREAT
SURGE FORWARD IN GOD'S WORK!
Almost seven years ago, Satan struck what he thought would
be the fatal blow to DESTROY God's Church and Work. It only drew
us closer together in unity and made his Work grow as never before!
Just think how God has blessed us! THIS IS HIS WORK!
His Work must surge forward in tremendous power! I have to
ask you to sacrifice and make possible these new television
stations in Europe. And that will lead to increased circulation of
The PLAIN TRUTH! I ask you to finance this now--and in due time
this extra-pressure Gospel lunge will bring in new co-workers to
help finance the Work!
The departments in Pasadena are doing their part in making
economies to prepare for these new opportunities. We are pruning
out our less effective stations on television, and will temporarily
reduce the size of the 48-page PLAIN TRUTH magazine by one
signature. These reductions will offset some of the costs of these
new doors to get the Gospel to the world as a witness, but that
alone is not enough. This retrenching will not bring results
overnight. We still need your help. We know that God will bless
our efforts, and perhaps send in enough money to allow us to
restore some of these areas that are currently being reduced. We
also pray that this will allow us to hire some much needed
ministers, already trained and ready to be put to work for the
harvest.
This will bring a NEW SURGE FORWARD in God's Work. The
Church and whole Work have been in good financial condition. But
we must now LUNGE FORWARD in the FINAL LAP, coming in on the home
stretch of the great Work God gave us to do.
This Work of God was built from nothing financially, ON
FAITH! I go forward now IN FAITH IN CHRIST that he will inspire
you dear Co-Workers TO MAKE THE EFFORT WITH ME! You will have to
give up some things you might want. But we all shall GAIN eternal
glory in God's Kingdom--and SOON. I know you won't let me--or
Christ--down! God bless, help, prosper and inspire you.
PRAY as never before! Fast and pray!
In deep love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
