Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
Here I am, in the hurry and high tension of last-minute
preparations for another Television shooting tomorrow---but I have
to drop everything right here, in the midst of all this rush, to
send you another letter.
As much as I dread it, I have to tell you the receipt of
money for God's work has started dropping off again yesterday and
today.
This will have to be very brief, or the TV programs won't
be filmed tomorrow. I WANT to write to you another longer letter
as soon as I can, and let you read several of the WONDERFUL and
encouraging letters from all over the world. Christ's MESSAGE,
going around the world now, on God's own WORLD TOMORROW program, is
really beginning to take hold bigger than ever. It's reaching the
hearts of people---turning them to Christ---changing their lives.
We are THRILLED over the response!
But quickly, here's the situation of the work at the
minute: We're in the very midst of the difficult month of December
---when nearly everyone seems to FORGET ALL ABOUT CHRIST, or any
gift for HIM or HIS work, and embark on a mad, frenzied shopping
spree buying Christmas presents, giving gifts to friends and
relatives, but neglecting any gift for the CHRIST, whose birthday
they suppose they are celebrating!!
Well, dear Co-Workers, I'm happy to report that we got
along very well the first 11 days of this month. A good many
responded to my last letter about exchanging gifts with friends and
relatives, and forgetting any gift for Christ. Almost no real
large offerings came in, but enough of the smaller and normally
generous sums were received to keep the work going. One listener
in Alaska sent in a check for $385, which warmed our hearts, and
one local Co-Worker told me he could loan to the work one thousand
dollars, which he is not at this time free to give, but might be
able to make part or all of it a gift later. At this time we have
really NEEDED a number of one, two, or five thousand dollar
amounts.
Of course, if only we could receive enough of the smaller
normal and regular tithing amounts, the need would be supplied.
