loaning us the money for the construction of the new one-room metal
booth-houses for our housing district at the Tabernacle grounds.
As a result of our conversation, the loan was approved. This makes
it possible to construct this new housing district on our grounds--
300 of these booth-houses to start--this very summer, ready for
this next Festival, and WITHOUT COSTING THE CHURCH A CENT! By
charging each family a rental charge equal to one-tenth of the
purchase-price--less than motel rent--probably as low as renting a
tent or trailer-house--on a ten-year loan, we have the houses
without taking any money from Church funds. YOU pay the rent out
of your SECOND tithe, which God COMMANDS you to save and spend on
your expenses of coming to the Feast. It is money you would spend
anyway. So it doesn't cost YOU anything. We do not have to
mortgage the ground, either--only the booth houses!
We can only build 300 of these booths this year. Already
about 400 have reserved booth-houses. Several have sent in the
advance rent money for this fall. FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED! So
HURRY!
HERE'S GOOD NEWS! If you attend Passover and Feast of
Unleavened Bread at Gladewater this spring, lasting eight days, YOU
WILL NOT BE CHARGED ANY EXTRA RENT, IF YOU RENT A BOOTH-HOUSE FOR
THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES. Also this applies to the three-day
Pentecost Festival. If you rent a booth BEFORE Passover, for the
fall festival, you get rent-FREE for Passover and for Pentecost--
and if you want to arrive a day or two early, and leave a day or
two after it is over, that is O.K. --no additional rent! IS THAT
FAIR? (THAT IS PROVIDED THE COMPANY GETS THEM INSTALLED BEFORE
PASSOVER. IF NOT, THEN THIS SAME WILL PROBABLY APPLY NEXT YEAR.)
More news next letter about these 1-room steel houses.
MEANWHILE, LET'S BOOST MARCH BUILDING FUND TO $18,000! God is
blessing you.
With deep love, in Jesus' name,
