Dear Co-Worker Family:
GREETINGS! in Jesus' name:
Here's GOOD NEWS! The impossible has been accomplished
again! AMBASSADOR COLLEGE started on schedule, on the postponed
date of October 8th. God performed another miracle for His work,
and Ambassador, HIS college, is a living reality---another monument
to FAITH, and the power of God, to deliver His people and His work
from every obstacle---every seemingly impassable barrier!
Many I know, held back, doubting, saying; "I'm going to
wait and see if he makes it---I'm going to hold up my support until
I see whether God delivers him out of this crisis---I'll wait and
see if this really IS God's work. If it is, it can't fail." And
in turn I can't help wondering when the "doubting Thomases" will be
convinced. Be that as it may, God has again proved, as He has
proved repeatedly time and again over the fourteen long years of
the existence of this work that it is HIS work---that He will never
stop the work He has begun---that He will never leave us nor
forsake us---that He will supply all our need, according to His
riches in glory by Christ Jesus---that, altho "many are the
afflictions of the righteous, the Eternal DELIVERS HIM OUT OF THEM
ALL!"
When I was suddenly confronted with the stunning
notification that our main college building was NOT solid
reinforced concrete, as had been represented---as we supposed and
as architects and appraisers I had employed to inspect it for me
had passed it---and that it did not meet the local building codes
for an educational institution and MUST BE COMPLETELY FIREPROOFED
THROUGHOUT THE INTERIOR---which meant new fireproof walls, and
complete new conduits for electric wiring throughout---it seemed as
if the bottom had dropped out of everything.
It seemed impossible, then, that the college could start
this year at all. I know many of our co-workers thought it was
impossible and gave up. But I didn't give up. I did spend days in
prayer---fasting and prayer, seeking reassurance of God's will. I
received it. I KNEW God had inspired the idea of starting
Ambassador College. I KNEW He had performed miracles to open to us
the unbelievably fine buildings and grounds, with its magnificently
landscaped campus. I KNEW He had performed another miracle in
providing us with such a superb faculty. I honestly doubt whether
any college ever started with so fine a faculty---and no college
can be better than its faculty.
