is deductible on your income tax return. This work is incorporated
under the name "Radio Church of God," and is officially recognized
by the Internal Revenue Bureau as a non-profit corporation.
Ambassador College is likewise incorporated, and officially
recognized. If you give more than 20% of your net taxable income
to this work, I would suggest having all over that amount receipted
by the college. You are entitled to take a deduction up to 30% of
your net taxable income each year. We do maintain a careful and
accurate record, so that on request we will send you a receipt for
the exact amount after the end of each year.
Co-Workers, we can't stop the Work of God from GROWING. I
know it is going to take the rest of this year to work out of our
present financial bind. IT IS MOST SERIOUS!
I have to ask each of you to PUT GOD AND HIS WORK FIRST, even
at sacrifice of other things. I am personally sacrificing the
remodelling and enlargement of my office. I need it very seriously
--but I am postponing it until after this year at least. I have
managed to make other major reductions in expenses up to about 12%
of the entire operating expenses. But it still does not balance
our budget. We MUST sacrifice to INCREASE THE INCOME beside.
That is YOUR PART in this great work of God.
THANK YOU! and God bless you richly for what you have done,
and what I know you will do! The need is especially serious in
this month of June. Make it the MOST you are able--whether that is
only an extra dollar (the widows' mites are very necessary, too) or
fifty thousand dollars or more--let each of us be generous
according to ability.
It is SO URGENT, I hope you can send it AIR MAIL!
With love, and in faith, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
