Dear Co-Workers for Christ:
This must be short and brief. It's an S.O.S. A drowning
person does not take time for many words and long explanations---he
just shouts "HELP!"
I had wanted to send you a long letter with more letters
quoted from new listeners in the United States, and from all over
the world, and also a questionnaire I want to send you about
television. But in the rush of things at the end of the school
year here at Ambassador College, and the heavy pressure of duties,
it had to be repeatedly sidetracked until an entire month went by
without any co-worker letter.
The result is very discouraging. It has shown that many of
our Co-Workers forget or neglect to keep up THEIR part in God's
all-important great work, unless I keep reminding them by these
letters. The receipt of money has fallen off alarmingly. Now
again the most important work on earth is in a DESPERATE plight.
All I can do is stop everything else and send you this quick,
brief letter. The longer letter will have to come later. God's
work can't stop! It can't slow down. It can't go on vacation for
the summer. YOUR part is just as important as mine. This great
work can't operate without YOUR help.
Two baptizing teams are out again this summer. The largest
harvest so far is being reaped--more than 400 awaiting baptism. In
addition, my son Dick just baptized eight over the week-end at our
tabernacle in Texas, enroute to London, England, along with Rod
Meredith, and quite a number in England have been converted through
the broadcast and are now awaiting the arrival of these two young
ministers to baptize them. That ought to make your hearts LEAP
with JOY! The angels of heaven shout for joy over one sinner that
repents. THINK OF IT! We are now reaping our first harvest of
precious souls for the Kingdom of God in England! And more than
400 here in the United States, beside the several that have been
baptized already since the beginning of the year.
Do you realize what this means? Every single broadcast we
send out from here results in another human life being converted---
begotten as a SON OF GOD---to be changed into a DIVINE BEING, even
as Jesus Christ Himself is Divine! I know that's completely beyond
your comprehension! It's too wonderful for the human mind to
