Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
I hoped I'd never again have to do this. But this letter
HAS to be an S.O.S.!
This letter has to be SHORT. It has to be right to the
POINT!! We are threatened with having to GO OFF THE AIR ON AT
LEAST THREE of our most powerful radio stations, at least for the
summer!
TWO major radio stations--the giant super-power 150,000-
watt XEG, and the west-coast 50,000-watt XERB have seriously asked
us to GO OFF THE AIR for the summer, because we have had to lag
behind in paying for the broadcasting!
This will deprive many hundreds of thousands of regular
listeners of hearing the program. We have more listeners on XEG
than any other station on earth! Other hundreds of thousands who
hear us on WLAC will be unable to hear the program until fall
because of the early time--7:00 P.M. (Central Standard Time), which
is still daylight from now until fall. Many of these could hear us
on XEG (8:30 P.M. Central Standard Time). But if we have to go off
of XEG, then MOST of our listeners from Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas,
Nebraska, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi will be
unable to hear the program at all, until next fall!
EVEN MORE IMPORTANT, if possible, many hundreds who have
been brought to repentance, and to salvation thru CHRIST, and now
await baptism, may have to be passed up!
THINK OF IT! This is by far the biggest spiritual harvest
year in the history of this work! More than TWO THOUSAND have
requested baptism! In order to visit and baptize this great
number, we have made plans to send out FIVE BAPTIZING TEAMS this
summer, covering the entire United States, coast to coast, and
Canada to the Gulf!
Now, even these tours are threatened! We may have to
curtail some of them. We may have to deprive HUNDREDS of precious
lives from being baptized and receiving God's Holy Spirit! These
baptizing teams have planned tours averaging 12,000 miles by
automobile for each team. These ministers and advanced students
actually risk their lives in this gruelling summer work of
baptizing. My own son, Richard David, did sacrifice his on one of
