PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, November 14, 1980
Page 11
You have NO IDEA how tirelessly Mr. Rader worked to SAVE THE CHURCH-­
to preserve God's Government in the Church and on earth--as a limited
government over His Church ONLY until Christ comes to RESTORE GOD'S
GOVERNMENT over the whole earth!
THIS WAS OF SUPREME IMPORTANCE TO
GOD!
Mr. Rader, whom they maligned and persecuted, was used by GOD to
preserve His CHURCH, and to DELIVER His Church from the clutches of Satan.
He is not the only one in God's Work doing MORE than required--but
NO ONE in the Work goes farther, in striving to go ALL OUT completely
beyond normal required performance to GET THE JOB DONE!
I know many of our field ministers are by Jesus' same definition good
and "profitable servants." God will bless and reward all of you. But I
think none has had to suffer such vilification from within the Church--
by men in high position--even if those men are no longer even themselves
IN the Church. And none can have gone farther to do far BEYOND what is
normally required.
This tribute is long overdue. Yet I write it not so much as a tri­
bute as to SET MATTERS STRAIGHT FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL YOU WHO HAVE BEEN
MISLED BY SUCH UNFOUNDED AND SATANIC PERSECUTION. I know all such in­
justice and persecution actually is aroused by Satan, but men ought to
have known better than to have been misled into such an evil thing. I
want to set the record straight! I love Stanley Rader very deeply, and
I want you all to lo�P and respect him, for he has deserved it!
