PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, February 15, 1980
Page 4
Marge and I are having three or more families for dinner at our home every
weekend that we are able. Hopefully we will be able to invite everyone in
the Church.
Church attendance continues to increase and everyone is very enthusiastic
about the Work of God. They really enjoy listening to and have made many
favorable comments about the tapes from China by Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong
and Mr. Stanley Rader, and the Bible Study tapes Mr. Armstrong is giving ·
on Romans. They are looking forward with anticipation to Mr. Armstrong's
planned trips to other nations.

teams expressed Mr. Armstrong's deep concern and love for God's people
and his desire to inform and update, and especially encourage and inspire
them t�rough these visits.

State of California's attack upon God's Church was shown to each of the
