Dear Co-Workers:
Here is a letter I am sending to some 75,000 people who
receive The PLAIN TRUTH and our other literature, but are not Co-
Workers. I just thought that YOU, TOO, might like to read this
letter---so here it is:
I may have never written you before, but you have written to
me, and now I just want to sit down and tell you how much I do
appreciate your interest.
Perhaps I can answer some questions you may have had in mind.
Hundreds of our friends who see me on Television, or listen to the
broadcast, keep asking such questions as "What denomination do you
represent?" Or, "Who sponsors and pays for your telecasts, broad-
casts, magazines and booklets?" Or, "How can you publish a world-
circulated magazine without subscription price, and give attractive
pamphlets without charge?" Or, "For what reason do you offer these
FREE?" Or, "WHY don't you ask for money over the air?"
You have a right to know these answers and all about me and
this work. So, as briefly as I can, here is the frank and
straightforward answer. And if you have any other questions,
please feel free to write me. For a year I have been intending to
give you, thru the pages of The Plain Truth, a more detailed
account of how God called me to His work, of its start and growth
to its present world-wide scope and power. I hope this may appear
in the January or February number.
I'm usually pretty skeptical about God speaking to anyone
today in visions or dreams. God speaks to us thru His Son, Jesus
Christ--the WORD of God---and the Bible is the written Word. I
didn't really believe it then, 38 years ago, but subsequent events
have verified that God did speak to my wife at that time, shortly
after we were married, revealing thru an angel that He was calling
us to the mission of WARNING the world of the fast-approaching END
OF THIS WORLD, the Coming of Jesus Christ, and the world-ruling
Kingdom of God. At the time I was unconverted, not bothering to
attend church, interested only in business and making money. I was
embarrassed---a little awed---but immediately tried to put it out
of my mind. But at age 30 God took away my business, struck me
down, took away my idol of money-making and business prestige.
