Before other Co-Workers joined me, even as Christ's
instrument and with His help, I was able to preach to only about 36
people per night on an average. But as the living Christ added a
few Co-Workers to help with their tithes and generous offerings,
even at personal sacrifice often, I was able to begin using the
powerful facilities of radio as Christ opened the radio doors. At
first, just one little station of 100 watts of power. But after a
while another station was added. Then another--then more powerful
stations--and so, for 26« years this work has grown until today it
thunders Christ's Message of salvation and His coming Kingdom to
many MILLIONS of people on all six continents every week--more than
TEN MILLION WATTS of radio power per week! That is what has been
added by Christ's adding of more and more of you Co-Workers
continually.
Yet I have to tell you that NEVER has the pressure of
financial need been heavier! It has taken considerable sums of
money, most of which has had to come from the United States, to
prepare this splendid new college for opening in England.
Additional radio stations cost more money. Additional thousands of
copies of The PLAIN TRUTH and other booklets cost more money. As
a result our business offices in Pasadena, California, at the
college in Britain, and in Sydney, Australia, are all in a very
tight bind at the moment.
It is part of my duty as Christ's called and chosen Minister
to inform you Co-Workers of this URGENT NEED. You are laying up
treasure in God's Kingdom when you make personal sacrifices that
this need may be met. But God DOES pour you out a great blessing
for it! Over 26« years I have noticed that those whose hearts are
zealously in this work--who sacrifice for it and support it--make
the most spiritual progress! Won't you hurry along the largest
amount God has made possible--even air-mail gets it to us quicker.
From the bottom of my heart, I THANK YOU! It is a very blessed
PRIVILEGE to be a Co-Worker WITH CHRIST!
With sincere love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
