Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
The terrific pressure of this ever-growing work of God
prevented me from sending the usual Co-Worker letter last month.
AND THAT HAS GOTTEN THE WORK INTO A DESPERATE CONDITION!
I felt that surely our Co-Workers would know that I was
simply over my head with work and responsibilities, and keep up
their part. Many of you did! GOD BLESS YOU for your loyalty and
sacrifices! But I have learned a sad and stern lesson.
I've learned that unless I keep you informed of the
progress, AND THE NEED of the work, that about a third of our
Co-Workers either forget all about GOD'S work, or else they assume
that when I don't send a desperate, urgent appeal for money we have
no need, and so they neglect sending any.
Right now I have only five minutes to tell you the perilous
situation this has brought us into. I'm going to tell it to you
FAST! Here it is!
The work is now growing faster than ever before---by leaps
and bounds! But the Co-Workers---about a third of you---are
letting down, and the money to carry it on is dropping off until
the continuance of the work is threatened!
The way has just opened up for us to go on a whole national
NET-WORK of stations in AUSTRALIA! It's the first time in more
than a year that any religious broadcasting has been accepted in
Australia. They turn down more than four out of every five
Churches or broadcasters that apply for time on their stations. We
have sent sample programs to Australia. They have listened to
them---and ACCEPTED THEM. We now go on the air over Australia
immediately;---if you Co-Workers respond quickly and generously
enough to make it possible. Mail has been increasing from
listeners in Britain, Europe, South Africa. Also we are now on the
air all over CHINA! Something went wrong with our plans to go on
Chiang Kai-Shek's "VOICE OF FREE CHINA" super-power radio station
on Formosa a year or two ago. But now, at last, WE ARE ACTUALLY ON
THE AIR, the program being beamed right thru the Bamboo Curtain,
and over Red China, as well as Formosa. My son, Dick, with another
ordained minister, George Meeker, are now holding weekly services
in London.
