CHICAGO, February 23, 1959
Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
Here is the BIGGEST NEWS I have ever had for you!!!
It is a WORLD FIRST!! It is a WORLD NEWS SCOOP!
I am in Chicago, returning from New York, on our annual
tour visiting the major radio stations which broadcast The WORLD
TOMORROW. For two reasons this BIG NEWS cannot wait until I return
to Pasadena a week from now. First, it is TOO IMPORTANT to delay
another week; and second, I have received a long distance call from
Pasadena informing me that income or money to carry on God's great
work has dropped off so alarmingly this past week that everyone at
headquarters in Pasadena is fasting and praying that God will move
on the hearts of Co-Workers to come to the rescue immediately.
This is not just one single bit of news, but actually
several. So let me lead up to it in order. I want you to realize
the full IMPORTANCE of it. I think it is the BIGGEST thing that
God has ever caused to happen for HIS WORK in these last days!
Jesus Christ has called YOU, as an individual, and ME,
and each of the others in our family of Co-Workers, and
commissioned YOU, with us and WITH CHRIST, to preach and publish
HIS Gospel of the Kingdom of God in ALL THE WORLD for a witness
unto ALL NATIONS! (Matt. 24:14 and Mark 13:10.)
For years I want to tell you that I have looked at those
three words "UNTO ALL NATIONS," and realized it means EVERY nation.
Now, for example, that means RUSSIA, and Communist Red CHINA, and
SPAIN. And yet every door for getting Christ's own Gospel into
these three nations was CLOSED TIGHT!
Do you know, dear Co-Workers, that every possible avenue
for getting past that Iron Curtain into RUSSIA had been closed and
blockaded so totally that at times I was tempted to wonder if maybe
God wouldn't overlook it if we failed to find a way to get His
Message to the Russian people! Surely God could not expect the
impossible! But we must remember that our God is the ALL-Mighty
God--the miracle-working God--and He has said (Rev. 3:7-8), that He
will OPEN DOORS for us! Yet no door was open.
In February, 1947, Mrs. Armstrong and I went to Europe to
search out ways of getting the Message into Britain and Europe.
