and the dining hall. All these ADDITIONAL expenses we must meet as
we go along, during the next two months, IN ADDITION to these heavy
Behlen payments.
BY GOD'S GRACE and help--with willing sacrifice on our part--
WE CAN, AND MUST meet this heavy obligation. IT'S NOW ONLY ABOUT
THREE MONTHS UNTIL FEAST OF TABERNACLES TIME! Keep your largest
possible special offerings coming--as often as possible--BESIDE
regular offerings and tithes. We are surely looking forward to
this Festival as the GREATEST since the days of the Apostles! KEEP
PRAYING! And PRAY for Garner Ted Armstrong's major-scale
EVANGELISTIC CAMPAIGN starting July 13th in SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI!
Because we were unable to obtain a hall large enough in Pittsburgh,
the campaign there has had to be postponed until NEXT summer.
Instead. my son and co-pastor on The WORLD TOMORROW, Garner
Ted Armstrong, is going to Springfield, Missouri. There he has
obtained the best auditorium in Springfield, the JEWELL THEATRE, in
downtown Springfield, seating over 1,000. An ABC Network
television and radio show originates in this theatre, coast to
coast, every Saturday night. Ted and his evangelistic team will
have it every other night, for a six weeks big-scale campaign. We
are now on Springfield's 5,000-watt NBC station, KGBX, every week-
day morning at 6:15, and a later, better time on Sundays (to be
announced). Also TWICE a week on TELEVISION, over KYTV, the NBC
Network TV station there, TWICE a week, Saturday night at 10:30 and
Sunday afternoon at 2:30, up until the campaign. We are using big
third-of-a-full-page newspaper ads, and twenty billboards on all
major highways into Springfield are going up.
People in Springfield are going to KNOW about this big
campaign! NEVER has the true CHURCH OF GOD attempted an
evangelistic campaign on this scale in the last hundred years! A
full evangelistic team is accompanying Ted to Springfield. Mr. Al
Portune is going along as song leader and soloist. Tony Hammer and
Ronald Kelly as ushers and deacons. Mrs. Lucy Martin, head of the
Ambassador College Music department, is going as pianist, assisted
on a second piano by Mrs. Garner Ted Armstrong. Before the
campaign is over, evangelist Raymond C. Cole will join the team and
establish our new local church there.
But with all this big-scale preparation, the entire success of
the campaign depends on YOUR PRAYERS! I ask every one of you to
GET ON YOUR KNEES, and PRAY YOUR HEART OUT in earnest intercession
to God for a BIG HARVEST OF PRECIOUS LIVES FOR HIS KINGDOM. Ted is
now encamped by a lake in Arkansas where he is FASTING and praying
for God's intervention and POWER and blessing in this campaign. I
ask you to JOIN HIM in this earnest and believing intercession.
And REMEMBER! --keep your biggest possible special offerings
coming in for the new TABERNACLE! God bless you! And THANK YOU!
With much love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
