Members Appreciate Efforts of God's Apostle
I am a member of the Worldwide Church of God in Vancouver, B.C. I
must thank you for all your writing--every new article is stimulat
ing and valuable. I hope that your book, A VOICE CRIES OUT, will
reach many people who have not yet heard of God's truth. So many
people don't know that God is real and that He cares for mankind.
I hope many people will be awakened to see how great and mighty
are God the Father and Jesus Christ.
I do pray often for your health and strength to finish the job
that God has given to you. I must pray more fervently and more
often for God's guidance in your daily decisions. I believe that
the Work will be completed, with you as human head, through God's
Spirit. I read recently in the Bible that Christ doesn't take
pleasure in human strength, but He has pleasure in those that
trust Him!
(Psalms 147:10-11.) He must have great pleasure in
your efforts, because you have helped thousands of people to trust
in God the Father and Jesus Christ. You gave up your whole life
--yet as a result you are able to gain eternal life, when Christ
returns with the tremendous office He has for y�
You bring to this world a message of the "give" way, and of the
results of the wrong "get" way--a message so desperately needed
today. I hope and pray that God's message which you deliver will
be thundered forth with greater power in these last days. May God
speed you in fulfilling His Great Commission! Through the incred
ible and awesome power of Jesus Christ, the Work will be completed!
With thanks to you.

And we love you for it!
I have just finished reading your article on "Am I In It For The
Money?" in the WORLDWIDE NEWS (July 14). It pains me to see you
explaining yourself. I realize some (a few) people may want to
know of your personal possessions, but I for one don't.
God raised you up to be His Apostle and I have known this for more
than six years....
