FUNERALS: ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO BE A LIGHT Since mentioning in church
that I would be glad to help out at funerals of relatives or friends
of members and prospective members, I have preached at three funerals.
Last week a friend of a PM died and the family had no one to turn to,
so Gary Mayer told them "My minister would be glad to help." The
family was so appreciative of the hope and encouragement contained
in the sermon that after the funeral they mentioned that if they were
ever in need of counseling they would contact us.

I asked Gary to offer the family (they are very poor) the $35.00 the
funeral director handed me. Instead, they insisted it go to the church.
As a suggestion, perhaps many of us can help fill an important need in
the lives of non-member families and friends when the death of a loved
one occurs. The truth we can present at such an event can offer much
comfort and hope and harmonizes magnificently with our new thrust!

AICF/CHURCH EXPOSURE THROUGH QUEST/78 A series of QUEST/78 presen- .
tations were made this week in the Los Angeles area to top corporate
----"-
"::heads and other potential advertisers in --e-ues-t-ma-qa.z:-..ine. The presenta
tion consisted of a luncheon, a talk, and sound synchronized slide show
about the Ambassador Foundation, the Church's good works and Quest's
upbeat approach to life's potentials. Those present showed they were
surprised by the Foundation's activities and,of course, the Church
was given more prominence in their eyes through this luncheon. It's
interesting to note that by these Quest presentations we are able to
attract top businessmen to hear our. story who would not attend if the
presentation was put on by the Church, but the Church still gets
positive exposure which is giving us increasing credibility in their
eyes.
