to create facilities for answering letters. Around 1,500 letters
come addressed to me every day--seven days a week--often 40,000 to
50,000 letters a month!!!--many of them asking personal or Bible
questions. You can see that it was IMPOSSIBLE for me to answer so
many letters, prepare and broadcast full half-hour programs seven
days a week, teach college classes, write articles, negotiate all
the top business transactions, act as executive president of both
the World Tomorrow broadcast and a Liberal Arts College, beside all
the other responsibilities God has laid on my shoulders. We are
now solving this problem. Today upward of a thousand letters a
month are personally and separately and individually answered.
Then also on this second floor is our "Co-Worker
Department," where a highly confidential card-index file record is
kept of every amount of tithe or offering you send in for God's
work. Thus we can give you, at the end of the year for your
income-tax report as a deduction, a record and receipt for all you
have given to God's work thru the year. Then also the mail-
receiving department is housed on this floor, where the 1,000 to
1,500 letters received DAILY are opened, and channeled to the
proper department for reply. The executive and administrative
offices still remain in the former two-story administration
building. Thus we have TWO 2-story office buildings to carry on
the BUSINESS end of GOD'S GREAT WORK! Truly, this work is growing
by leaps and bounds.
But still--the QUESTION is--ARE WE GROWING FAST ENOUGH to
finish the tremendous WORLD-WIDE work which Jesus Christ, our
Leader and our LIVING Directive Head, has commissioned us to
accomplish, before the soon-coming END OF THIS WORLD?
Are YOU, as one of our Co-Workers with me, and with CHRIST,
doing ALL that you can for YOUR part in this work? Are you SURE?
How many hours a week do you spend on Your knees in PRAYER--and I
mean EARNEST, INTENSIVE, HEART-RENDING, PREVAILING, AND BELIEVING
PRAYER, for this work?
Just while I was writing, a telegram was handed me from
Texas--from a wife whose husband has just had a heart attack,
pleading "PLEASE PRAY." Such telegrams come all the time. Are YOU
praying for the healing and the protection and guidance of all
these who constantly and daily write or telegraph or telephone
long-distance for HELP--for PRAYER? I need you to JOIN me in
fervent prayer for these many people crying out in need. I need
you to constantly PRAY FOR ME!
And are YOU doing ALL that you can--yes, A L L that you can
in the way of additional OFFERINGS beside your honest TITHE of your
income for the great WORK OF GOD? THIS WORK MUST HAVE A BIG
INCREASE IN FUNDS for the financing of God's work this year.
The receipt of tithes and offerings has been FALLING OFF
AGAIN, this last half of the month. CO-WORKERS--go to your knees
and PRAY--and send in the LARGEST amount you can arrange to send--
BY RETURN AIR-MAIL! This work can go NO FASTER than you Co-Workers
make possible by tithes and offerings! We have to constantly
SACRIFICE our own pleasures and desires for GOD'S PRECIOUS WORK!
