Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
This is Thursday night. I have just finished the second
of three strenuous days on the TV set, "shooting" the films for the
next nine television programs.
It's late---I'm very tired and need every minute of sleep
and rest, for strength tomorrow---but I'm having to take the time
out of my sleep to write this letter, for it's desperately URGENT!
Up until the 20th of June our Co-Workers responded
loyally. Actually the money being received at the office was
constantly less than our enlarged need, now that we are having to
add DOUBLE expense until we go off the ABC Radio Network July 17,
and start on TV July 24th. Nevertheless, we were able to continue
laying aside the daily requirement for TV production, so we could
be ready to film these 9 programs this week, and to stay on radio.
But now, for two and a half weeks, it seems a large
portion of our Co-Workers have forgotten the vital all-important
WORK OF GOD. Five days straight last week we were unable to pay
but part of radio expenses, and were unable to set aside a cent of
the daily quota toward this week's TV shooting.
The filming is being done Wednesday, Thursday (today) and
Friday of this week. Last Tuesday the producers called for the
money. We were short about one fourth of the amount. We paid them
that, and I decided to go ahead, feeling sure the money would come
in during this week. You see, ordinarily tithes and offerings
received for the work begin coming in a lot better about the 4th of
the month. Normally this holds up fairly well until the 15th or
20th, with the last half of the month dropping much lower. There-
fore we expected an upsurge in money received beginning last
Tuesday or Wednesday, the 5th or 6th.
But here it is, the night of the 7th, and still receipts
for God's work are WAY below normal quota, even without this added
TV expense. Hundreds of you wrote me such encouraging letters
after my very trying and disappointing first experience before the
TV lights and cameras. You have written that your hearts and
prayers would certainly be with me, this time! I know SOME of you
have, as you wrote you would, been really PRAYING for me on the TV
set these past two days---for I have managed to keep almost on
