goes on the air New Year's Day.
Over here things are moving at a fast clip. But over here I
see Christmas shopping crowds jamming the London streets and
stores, just as in America! Here we have been in the MIDST of the
season when most people forget all about a gift for CHRIST, or the
need of support for HIS WORK--and spend all they have or can borrow
on presents to exchange back and forth with relatives, friends, and
business customers!
We are getting into the LAST PART of the month when our
Co-Workers slow down and WHEN CHRIST'S GREAT WORK SUFFERS MOST FROM
LACK OF FUNDS!
Co-Workers, PRAY for this work. PRAY, more earnestly than
ever before, that God will lay it on the hearts of Co-Workers to
THINK OF CHRIST--and the NEED OF HIS WORK in this difficult time.
I NEED YOUR HELP!!
JESUS CHRIST, THE HEAD OF THIS POWERFUL WORLD-WIDE WORK, NEEDS
YOUR HELP. This is the time when we need to ask our Co-Workers to
sacrifice still more to put CHRIST, His righteousness, and HIS WORK
absolutely FIRST in your prayers, and your finances! We need all
of the LARGER sums, of hundreds, and thousands of dollars, that are
available--because so many can send only the widows' mites--but we
also need a deluge--yes, a cloud-burst of them! They do count!
Just do your utmost according as God has made possible, and then by
your urgent and persistent PRAYERS you can PRAY other larger sums
from those of more means, into the work!
THANK YOU, dear Co-Workers for your loyalty, your prayers,
your sacrifice! Two of our top evangelists in Christ's service
are now in Central and South AFRICA, where several dozen people are
awaiting baptism. We are broadcasting SIX NIGHTS A WEEK over the
powerful radio station at Elizabethville, right in the very thick
of all this trouble in Central Africa. Scores there are coming
into God's TRUTH, their lives being converted! PRAY for the safety
of these men--Mr. Roderick C. Meredith and Mr. Raymond F. McNair.
They are risking their lives in Christ's service! Let's all stand
loyally by!!
With love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
