Dear Faithful Co-Workers for Christ:
Thank God!--we're still on the air--world-wide! Yes, in
this tight squeeze getting the broadcast established on a major
network, we have been making it--so far!
But now we approach the very crisis bottle-neck of this
tight squeeze. Now comes the SUPREME TEST!
Your earnest prayers the past three weeks have been heard.
Your willingness to sacrifice your own wants or needs, and to put
God's work first, has tided this great work over another three
weeks. THANK YOU! and God bless you!
But now this last half of the month is the big test.
Already the receipt of money for the most important work on earth
is again falling off alarmingly. The past four days less than half
our daily expense-quota has come in. We must KEEP PRAYING!
I want you to know what mighty power this work is wielding
upon MILLIONS of precious lives all over America, Canada, Britain,
all Europe, the middle-east, India, southeast Asia and China. I
want to let you look over my shoulder, once again, and read with me
some of the thousands of letters pouring in from this world-wide
Gospel crusade. But first let me explain in few words the exact
situation as of this moment:
Before we went on the ABC radio network last October, we
had almost no radio coverage at all in that great area east of
Indiana and Michigan, and north of North Carolina. More than half
of all the people in the United States live in this area! We were
not reaching them--more than half of the United States population!
Furthermore, we had weak coverage all along the Atlantic Coast, and
across all the northern states in the middle-west and north-west.
The network gives us extensive coverage in all these areas. We use
NONE of the network stations in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi,
where our coverage is strongest on XEG, XELO, AND XERF. We use
only one network station in each of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Alabama,
Georgia, Tennessee, and Kentucky, where we have fairly good
coverage from the super-power Mexican stations.
Now we have good radio coverage over the entire United
States. It will more than DOUBLE the vast American listening
audience--TWICE as many hearing God's truth as before. Already
