Dear Co-Workers:
I'm forced to send a second emergency letter right on the
heels of the last one from New York. God is moving faster and
faster in His great work thru us! But at the same time, many of
our Co-Workers are slowing down. We MUST realize what this means!
It means the END of this world is nearer than we
believed!
It means the very turning point---the supreme CRISIS of
God's work, has been reached. It means we now have to stir our-
selves as never before, with a renewed burst of zeal and
willingness to sacrifice all else for the WORK OF GOD.
The really great problem right now, as I have written
before, is to manage to hold on to this great major net-work that
has opened to us, until it results in enough new co-workers to
defray this added expense.
In December our co-workers got under the burden, joined
us in earnest PRAYER, and in personal sacrifice, and we were able
to hold up. I was encouraged greatly. For the first time in the
history of the work the income was up to quota the week between
Christmas and New Year's! The new year of 1954 started out right
on quota---funds received daily equalling the daily expenses of
God's work. It was reassuring, and very encouraging.
Then, all of a sudden, the receipt of money for the work
went into a nose-dive. That had continued about a week when I
telephoned the letter from New York to be mailed from here. It has
continued since, up to now---less than HALF as much money being
received daily as we must pay out to carry this greatest work on
earth. That means just one thing. A lot of our Co-Workers had
stopped PRAYING for this work. Could that include YOU?
Now the situation is desperate! It's like God's precious
work were a giant airplane nose-diving for a crash! Unless there
is an immediate upturn in less than another week, I'll have to drop
this great major net-work, which is carrying the Message to 56% of
the nation's population which we were not reaching before. It's
just that important!
Until this net-work opened to us, we were on stations
