built as nearly as possible according to the Bible directions for
this purpose. They will be small, and very inexpensively built
....yet the need of so many of them multiplies the cost into many
thousand dollars. There has not been money enough to even start
the construction of these housing boothsÄÄÄaltho brother Roy Hammer
and sons and helpers are working long hours daily clearing the
brush for the housing area.
Listen, dear Co-Workers! Here is my problem. We expect at
least 700 people at the Festival of Tabernacles. If we do not get
this housing area built in time, these 700 people will have to pay
about ten thousand dollars for cabin and motel expense. This is a
huge sum, and ought to be paid as rent to God's CHURCH, so it can
apply on the cost of building. $10,000.00 would go a long way to-
ward paying for the construction of our own housing facilities.
Then, too, the object of this great festival is to afford an
opportunity for God's people to get away from the world, out in
God's beautiful natureÄÄÄalone with God and God's people for the
eight days. It isn't a proper keeping of the Feast of Tabernacles
when people have to leave God's Tabernacle grounds every night and
go back into the outside world to sleep.
How about it, Co-Workers? Will you pray earnestly over this?
Won't more of you let God open your heartsÄÄÄand your checkbooks
and pocketbooks? Won't you be willing to sacrifice other things
that GOD'S Tabernacle and booths may be built? Must we lose that
$10,000 because we lack the funds in advance of the Festival to
build?
Meanwhile, the July PLAIN TRUTH has had to lay, all printed,
for one solid month in the printing plant because of lack of
sufficient funds to pay for it. Think of it! One month late! And
we had it printed ON TIME!
The summer months are the most difficult of the yearÄÄÄ
especially this year, when we are building God's Tabernacle. I am
now fasting to get myself in top shape for the big campaign this
fall.
Co-Workers! I call on you now in Jesus' Name to rally to
God's great cause! We have to re-double our efforts! PrayÄÄÄand
pray long, and earnestly, and continuously, that God will move
every heart to sacrifice and action that His work may have funds
for its need! Let's send up a mighty wave of believing prayer!
A miracle is now needed to keep the work going and finish the
Tabernacle! Pray for it!
In Jesus' Name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
