these tours last summer. These men sacrifice sleep, and work from
early morning to late night on these tours.
CAN'T WE WHOM GOD HAS CALLED AND CHOSEN AS HIS CO-WORKERS
SACRIFICE A FEW THINGS we planned to spend money for, in order that
those tours may go out? Mrs. Armstrong and I have put in all we
had. Must precious lives be lost for eternity because we become
lax and careless and fail to put God's work FIRST?
I've written you of how world conditions are stepping up at
ALARMING accelerated pace toward world destruction! I've told you
how God has kept pace, in this HIS work, by opening NEW DOORS for
proclaiming HIS GOSPEL before the END of this world!
And NOW comes a long-distance overseas telephone call from
our overseas advertising agent in London, followed by letters and
telegrams, telling of a television network DOOR opening in London
for us to go on British television nationally! This would even be
FREE TIME! We are shipping by air express immediately several of
our television programs on film for their consideration. They want
to put me and my son Garner Ted Armstrong on TV in London live on
a series of Sunday night programs. It is a young people's program.
Our agent tells me it is a very lively, snappy program. The young
people pepper the minister with questions. Ted and I have
reservations for a flight overseas on June 10th. But shall we have
to pass up this tentative great opportunity because of lack of
funds?
LISTEN, dear Co-Workers! Jesus Christ, the living HEAD of
His Church--His Body by which He carries on His work, restores His
TRUTH, preaches His GOSPEL, warns this world, before the END of the
world and Christ's Second Coming--this same LIVING Christ has
chosen YOU as a co-worker in the finishing of HIS WORK! The
responsibility is on YOU as well as me.
We simply HAVE to have, now, a substantial increase in
tithes and generous offerings for God's work. IT MUST KEEP COMING
WEEK BY WEEK, MONTH BY MONTH. We must dig down a little deeper!
We must sacrifice a little more!
First of all, we must have AN UNPRECEDENTED BIG RESPONSE
IMMEDIATELY BY RETURN MAIL! The situation in our business office
is just that desperate! We not only need whatever is the largest
amount every one of you can send, whether two dollars or two
thousand--we now need, desperately, LARGE THOUSAND DOLLAR OR
MULTIPLE THOUSAND DOLLAR AMOUNTS--and if the few of you who
possibly can send in such large amounts feel you cannot GIVE it
freely at this time, then I must ask you to LOAN it to the work of
God, on whatever terms and for whatever time you can.
But just this imperative immediate return-mail burst of
money alone is not enough. We must all try to send a little more
every week or every month--and, if possible, to send it a little
oftener.
REMEMBER--God has made tithing a definite LAW. If our
baptizing teams are enabled to make these tours, and are able to
