Ambassador College, and are rapidly being printed in that language.
My son Garner Ted, who speaks Spanish fluently, and Benjamin Rea,
professor of Spanish at Ambassador College, have scheduled a tour
thru South America this summer to complete arrangements for this
great addition of stations. The ONLY continent we have not yet
reached with this last Message is South America---and now we are
planning to go down there, and GOD HAS ALREADY OPENED THE DOORS!
Co-Workers, this is the most important work on earth! We
are now preparing to broadcast in the German and French languages
---later in others. The booklets are being translated and printed
in French and German now.
GOD'S WORK MUST KEEP PACE WITH FAST-MOVING WORLD EVENTS!
Time is growing shorter and shorter! There is still enough time
---but we must press forward HARDER THAN ever---sacrifice MORE THAN
EVER BEFORE---that there may be financial means to keep this mighty
work going!
We need more ministers---DESPERATELY!---and MORE DOLLARS!
As I've written you before, Ambassador College will soon be turning
out more and more called, consecrated fully-trained ministers. We
ordained one more here in our big Tabernacle at this festival only
last Thursday. The college has been outgrowing its facilities.
New properties have been coming to us to meet this expansion. And
NOW, we must make necessary alterations in the recently acquired
Hulett C Merritt mansion, now named Ambassador Hall, so it may be
occupied as our main class-room building by next September. Local
building codes must be met, and this will cost us several thousand
dollars---but it is way and by far the lowest-cost facilities we
could possibly obtain.
We have completely outgrown the Tabernacle here at
Gladewater, Texas, and I have had to sign a contract for the
erection of another much larger one to be erected before fall. We
have found a new-type low-cost building material---a corrugated
aluminized heavy steel---by which we can erect new buildings at
between half and two-thirds ordinary building costs---and it is a
MORE desirable type of construction! Co-Workers, WE NEED, AND MUST
HAVE, a SPECIAL BUILDING FUND OF AT LEAST $20,000 per month THRU
THE REMAINDER OF THIS PRESENT YEAR!
Your regular tithes and offerings must go for the work of
delivering the true GOSPEL to all the world as a witness. So I
have to ask you Co-Workers now once again to make EXTRA SPECIAL
OFFERINGS for the BUILDING FUND, regularly, every month---and even
every week if possible!
Now this is going to be a real arduous task. A new two-
story building adjacent to our campus has come to us recently, to
be converted into an office building. WE HAVE COMPLETELY OUTGROWN
our present office building. We were going to have to build a
whole new large building which probably would have cost more than
$100,000, but God has spared us that expense. Our Las Vegas agents
purchased this large building to be donated to the college---
already built. We are moving our printing department, which now
must be much enlarged, into it. Also our big mailing room, where
