REALIZE it? This has been MAN'S world, under Satan's sway. All
its governments going down in final chaos. The devil knows far
better than we that we are near the END of his dominion.
Consequently he is FURIOUS against this powerful work of God
carrying to this dying world THE VERY LAST MESSAGE FROM GOD!
Repeatedly Satan has struck at this work. Everything in his power
is being done to destroy it! But he can't destroy it---for it is
the WORK OF GOD!
But that is why, my dear co-workers, we have had to face
one crisis after another. Satan never stops fighting us. But GOD
ALWAYS DELIVERS US! His work keeps leaping ahead, greater, more
powerful than ever! Often our co-workers, many of them, seem to
grow drowsy and weary with well-doing. Often they tend to ease up
in their part in this work, and money begins to drop off. That
makes it very hard and difficult for us here at Pasadena. BUT
SATAN NEVER EASES UP! He grows increasingly angry, and with
increasing fury strikes at us harder and harder! And that, when
our co-workers neglect the work, lays on us a DOUBLY sore trial and
test of faith!
Great Accomplishment of 1949
This year 1949 has seen the GREATEST LEAP AHEAD this work
has ever taken. It has produced by far greater fruit for God's
Kingdom---made far greater progress---been more blessed of God---
than any previous year.
Ambassador College has almost doubled in size.---both
student body and faculty, and in buildings and grounds. Now,
through the acquisition of the fine large adjoining property,
"Mayfair," all our students live right on the campus, and the
beautiful campus grounds are doubled in area. Yet this valuable
property was acquired on even lower terms than the original
property---on such basis that the income from rentals virtually
pays for it, thus avoiding increased expense to the work! It
greatly increases our assets and facilities, without increasing
expense!
Look at this year's great harvest of souls! Two
qualified students from the college on a Coast-to-Coast tour this
summer baptized SEVENTY-EIGHT precious souls converted thru this
work. A total of nearly one hundred have been converted and
baptized thru the entire year---BUT, MORE IMPORTANT, FOUR HUNDRED
MORE, converted, as we believe from their letters, still anxiously
await baptism as the harvest of this work for this year---A TOTAL
OF APPROXIMATELY FIVE HUNDRED PRECIOUS SOULS! The harvest is
plenteous, but the laborers are few. But now God is graciously
sending us called and qualified laborers to be trained at
Ambassador College that this harvest may be GREATLY MULTIPLIED. In
another month or so now, God willing, another baptizing tour will
be made from the college. Next summer we hope to have two or three
teams out in the field.
