PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, August 29, 1980
Page 12
As a result of God's working through you and with much fervent
prayer, effort and love on your part, we're once again seeing
fruits produced whereby there is unity and true knowledge that is
continuing to set God's Church back on the track.
The Ministerial Refreshing Program is greatly instrumental in
bringing about that oneness of mind needed in teaching God's truth
to His people. Being taught by the staff who reflects one mind
in teaching these basic truths of God in these beautiful facilities
and surroundings is indeed a blessing.
In addition to the Refreshing Program, we have enjoyed and
appreciated the activities, programs and tours provided us. To
mention one, the tour of the Auditorium, behind the scenes. The
dedication and loyalty of all those we met was always evident.
Thank you, Mr. Armstrong, and all those involved for this privilege.

Dear Mr. Tkach:
I want to sincerely thank you for the privilege of being here in
Pasadena the past three weeks. Frankly, the thought of leaving
my children and my church area for three weeks of living in smoggy
Pasadena did not overly excite me.
I have heard too many "superiors" over the years speak their own
"smooth words of wisdom." Your approach is truly refreshing. It
is obvious you are in dead earnest to speak God's Apostle's mind
and carry out his directions. This means so much after what we
have all been through.
Another point I'd like to mention deals with the social aspects
while we were here. You (as well as the entire Ministerial Services
team) made yourselves available constantly to us all. I now have
seen with my own eyes the loving concerned leadership (not authori­
tarian) that I, as a local church pastor, am accountable to. These
three weeks have helped my attitude immensely. I should be able to
go back and serve the brethren with renewed enthusiasm. I hope
and pray that I will remain humble and loyal, backing up your
excellent example of total invariable support to Gud through His
chosen Apostle.
