Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
I have to sit down and tell you seriously that we have
reached an alarming EMERGENCY, an overwhelming CRISIS, and I have
to ask your earnest, heart-rending, prevailing PRAYERS--and your
sacrifice and immediate response as never before.
Christ has called us to a WORK of self-sacrifice. He has
called us as HIS INSTRUMENTS--using us to PREPARE THE WAY for His
glorious and all-powerful RETURN to earth as KING of kings--using
us to RESTORE the truth of HIS VERY GOSPEL which the world has
hidden for 18« centuries!
Jesus did not say it would be an EASY way. We have met
crisis after crisis--but never has such an overwhelming crisis
confronted us before. I am going to have to ask you to come to our
aid quickly.
Faster, faster, FASTER, world events keep speeding up.
And our Eternal God is speeding up HIS WORK at the same accelerated
pace! It takes my breath! IT IS LATER THAN WE REALIZE! Last time
I wrote you I was on a train with Mrs. Armstrong enroute to Texas.
While there I received a telephone call from our New York overseas
advertising agency which caused me to fly two days later by jet
plane on an emergency trip to London, England--my second visit to
London this summer.

stations on earth--had just thrown off the air all the religious
programs during the half-hour 11:00 to 11:30 P.M. The WORLD
TOMORROW was not affected, as we have TWO half-hours every week,
Monday and Tuesday nights, 11:30 to 12:00. But our agency was
alarmed. We might be thrown off the air next. In London I went
directly to a top director of the station, and to the manager of
the London office. God gave us favor in their eyes, and caused
them to offer us the unprecedented wonderful time of 8:00 to 8:30
every Saturday night, with the promise of an early prime time EVERY
NIGHT, seven nights a week, as soon as they can clear time--AND WE
DO NOT HAVE TO GO OFF OUR LATE TIME UNTIL WE GET AN EARLIER TIME!
Never before has any religious program been on Radio Luxembourg
earlier than 11:00 P.M.--after most people have gone to bed. This
is a WONDERFUL VICTORY!
Last week I gave our New York agency authority to put the
