payments will pay IN FULL everything built so far--but then the
Behlen Manufacturing Co. must once more send their big crews down
there to finish the present Tabernacle. Additional conference and
ministers' rooms must yet be completed, and the very large Mothers'
room, children's play-room, and infants' crib room. Also we now
have to build a smaller adjoining building for additional school
rooms, and ministers' conference rooms. So the $18,000 per month
payments will have to continue right on all this year, and into
next year.
WE CAN NEVER LET UP, OR LET DOWN, IN OUR ZEAL AND EFFORTS AND
SACRIFICE FOR GOD'S WORK! God is blessing this work beyond our
fondest hopes. This Church and it's work--which is GOD'S WORK--is
growing faster than any activity or organization I know of on
earth.
Are you still DILIGENTLY seeking God every day? Do you go to
a private place and PRAY EARNESTLY at least three times a day? Do
you devote at least an hour a day to BIBLE STUDY, seeking to learn
GOD'S WILL, and to LIVE IT? That is what we must all do! Is your
heart and your life simply FILLED with JOY? Do you simply radiate
smiles and JOY to others all day long? YOU WILL--if you seek God
more earnestly--seek FIRST the Kingdom of God, and HIS
RIGHTEOUSNESS--forsaking your own thoughts and ways. Your personal
blessings will multiply. I know by experience!!
We must be a BELIEVING, and a PRAYING Church! Shall I now
say, "God bless you"? He IS blessing you! I pray for you--and I
NEED you to pray for me, personally--every day. Will you?
With deep love and gratitude, in Jesus' name,
