Dear Friend:
GREETINGS! in Jesus' name: You are one of several
hundred of our radio listeners, and readers of The PLAIN TRUTH,
who have written me about being baptized.
I am more than happy to be able to tell you that God has
provided men qualified to come to you, or at least near you where
you can meet them, and visit with you, explain the Bible to you,
and, if you are ready to be baptized, to baptize you.
I wish I could have the pleasure of coming myself. It
would be a thrill of joy to meet you, and these scores upon scores
of others whose lives are being changed, and who are being brought
to Christ and into the knowledge of His Kingdom and the true way of
salvation through my labors. Mrs. Armstrong and I labor
unceasingly, almost night and day; we have had to face very grave
and severe obstacles, and carry a heavy load of responsibility.
But to know that MILLIONS are hearing the true Gospel that has been
hidden so long, not only, but that literally hundreds are being
converted, and brought into the fellowship of Christ and the joys
of salvation and the Kingdom of our God as the precious fruit borne
of these labors is the thrill of all thrills---the greatest reward
that God could possibly give us! We long to meet you and know you
personally.
But as the work grows in scope, and now with the
responsibilities of the college added, I find it increasingly
difficult to get away from Pasadena. The broadcast must go on the
air from our studios every day. The PLAIN TRUTH and Bulletins must
be written. The college demands much of my time. Hundreds of
letters are piled up on me, demanding personal answer. I'm sure
you will appreciate that I must devote my time to the largest
number continually. Perhaps you can come here, and pay us a visit
some of these times.
But in the meantime, Ambassador College is bearing
precious fruit, and proving the wisdom of God in leading us to
establish it. For there are now seven of our students whose lives
I feel God has called and which will be devoted to this great work.
From them I am sending two, starting today on a nation-wide
baptizing tour. Others will follow later.
The two young men starting out today are Raymond Cole, of
Jefferson, Oregon, and Raymond McNair of Camp, Arkansas. I have
every confidence in them. They are sober, truly converted and led
