WORLD TOMORROW on BOTH Australian and national networks SIX NIGHTS
A WEEK. Never before have they accepted religious programming
except on Sundays. This means we must open a branch office in
Sydney within about 60 days! A cablegram today O.K.s our order.
While in London, I found our deal for the purchase of the
college campus on the London outskirts was about to fall through.
The owner had gone back on his word, even though we had it in
writing. But God caused this to work for our good. Before I left
England, we had signed up a new deal with money changing hands
making it legally BINDING, giving us a THIRTY-ACRE campus instead
of the original ten. It now includes additional housing buildings,
cottages, and grounds for new buildings, athletic field--everything
we can need.
At the same time God sent to Ambassador College this fall
a man who graduated from Oxford last spring, and one who just
received a Master's degree from Harvard. Another Oxford senior is
coming to Ambassador next fall after he graduates at Oxford.
Another man--a top ranking professor at one of England's best known
universities--with a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the
University of Cambridge and another Ph.D. from the University of
London--is here on our campus now, visiting us for 2« weeks,
helping us prepare the catalog for the college in London, and we
hope he will be the Dean of Instruction in our new college. Thus
God is sending us men who will give the college there prestige and
standing on the faculty.
It literally takes my breath, the speed at which God is
now moving things in His Work. Our baptizing teams have finished
their summer tours--seven of them--after baptizing by far the
largest harvest of lives for God's Kingdom of any year so far. We
have one other team of graduates out now. Hundreds are being
converted. Our two ministers in England have baptized a goodly
number this year, and the harvest continues to grow.
BUT--this rapid growth and expansion of God's great work
demands constantly increasing tithes and offerings to pay the
bills!
RIGHT NOW GOD'S WORK IS IN A TERRIBLE FINANCIAL BIND! It
is proving a very tight squeeze. I have today received from our
London advertising agency the finished draft of the 2-page
advertisement for READER'S DIGEST, British edition. The Reader's
Digest has ACCEPTED IT for publication! It will start in the
November issue, instead of October as first planned, because of the
printers' strike in London. They had to have an immediate O.K.,
and I have just hung up the telephone from a long-distance call to
London giving my O.K. Some 6 to 7 million people in England will
read this powerful message in these two pages! This will mean a
terrific boost to the work!
All these things do mean INCREASED EXPENDITURES! I am
going right ahead BY FAITH, as Christ, the Head of this work, opens
doors. We have extra heavy obligations to meet during the next
three months which will slacken off after January 1st.
The need for additional sums is IMPERATIVE--and
