P.T. AND BOOK PROMOTIONALS GENERATING CONSIDERABLE ENTHUSIASM
Interest and excitement have been running high since new Plain Truth
promotional program materials were distributed to and implemented by a
number of U.S. Pastors in April and May. We have received many calls
and memos from pastors explaining how thrilled the local members are about
supporting God's Work via the bulletin board cardholder program, or by
contacting waiting rooms and libraries offering a free subscription to
the PT, as well as offering Mr. Armstrong's books to public and university
libraries.
Below are a few of the comments we received here in Pasadena which we
thought you would enjoy reading:
The idea of giving the brethren an opportunity of sharing in God's
Work from the standpoint of doing something active--rolling up one's
sleeves (figuratively) and pitching in--has proven to be a tremendous
spiritual lift to the brethren here in Philadelphia. The initial
response has been tremendously gratifying. There has been a "surging
forth" of God's people to help out in the distribution of the PT and
Mr. Armstrong's books. It shows a great desire on the part of the
members to help fulfill the prophecy of Matt. 24:14.
Carlos E. Perkins, Pastor
Philadelphia, PA
After meetings this week with our brethren, we will be expanding the
waiting room program extensively to Redding, Corning, Chico, Oroville
and other smaller towns. Will be sending in new subscriptions after
these other areas complete their calling. We are very pleased with
these new concepts and programs to allow the members to help promote
the Gospel. Incidentally, the library book program is going very
well in the Chico church area."
