and give Christmas gifts, THAT AT LEAST THE ONE BIGGEST GIFT, if
not ALL the money for gifts, OUGHT TO BE GIVEN TO CHRIST FOR
CARRYING ON HIS WORK?
Very soon now the light of Christ's Gospel will grow DARK.
The night will have come when NO man can work in God's Work. There
will be a FAMINE of hearing the precious WORD OF GOD! Two months
ago, I told you it looked like the Chinese Reds would invade
Formosa and drive out Chiang Kai-SheK. I told you GOD would decide
whether to allow them to invade it NOW. I told you that WE ARE
BROADCASTING TWICE A WEEK--at the very BEST time, 7:00 PM, every
Wednesday and every Friday, over Chiang Kai-Shek's super-power
RADIO TAIWAN. It is beamed across the Bamboo Curtain, and is
listened to by hundreds of thousands of Chinese Reds, beside most
of the free Chinese in Formosa. I told you that if GOD decided
that HIS WORK there has already been accomplished, the Reds would
invade--OUR VOICE WOULD BE STILLED THERE FOREVER. But if GOD'S
WORK there is NOT yet done, GOD WOULD HOLD BACK THE REDS! Well,
two months have gone by. God HAS held back the Reds while 16 more
half-hour Messages from GOD have been thundered across into Red
China! That is what the money you send is accomplishing! GOD IS
USING IT! This year THOUSANDS have been brought to repentance,
acceptance of CHRIST and conversion by this work in all parts of
the world. Next month I want to tell you exactly WHAT has been
accomplished this year--the year of the BIGGEST harvest yet!
But I must stop right here and RUSH this emergency S.O.S.
to you! God's Work needs your WIDOWS' MITES--it needs the generous
offerings of one or several thousand dollars from the VERY FEW of
you who are able to give so much for CHRIST and His work. It needs
whatever amount is GENEROUS giving, according to YOUR circumstances
and ability, whether as much as $50,000 or only one or two dollars.
THIS YEAR BE SURE YOU PUT CHRIST FIRST!! His Work is in
a serious CRISIS! The need is immediate and URGENT! Mails are
clogged with Christmas presents--so WHY NOT SEND IT AIR-MAIL? And
remember God's Work is in CONTINUOUS need--next month, and all
through next year, week by week, month by month. PLEASE PRAY
EARNESTLY WITH ME OVER THIS, THAT GOD WILL MOVE ON ALL HEARTS TO
RESPOND QUICKLY, LIBERALLY, AND CONTINUALLY! And GOD BLESS YOU--as
I know He will!
With deep love, in Jesus' name,
