PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, December 12, 1980
Page 8
Dear Mr. Armstrong:
Thank you very much for allowing my wife Paulette and me to be a part
of the fifth Ministerial Refreshing Program. We also had the privi
lege of taking part in the last Sabbatical Program which was termi-·
nated at the half-way mark. I was somewhat disappointed in not being
able to complete the Sabbatical but now clearly see your wisdom and
foresight in creating the three-week Ministerial Refreshing Program
to replace it.
This new program will bring all of the ministry much more rapidly to
the place where we are all speaking the same thing. The faithful
team you have chosen to support you in Pasadena are very obviously
dedicated and loyal to Jesus Christ and to you, Mr. Armstrong. We
were served both physically and spiritually in a way we will not soon
forget. Thank you for your love and loyalty to us expressed through
this program. Our prayers and thoughts are with you daily as you
lead us in fulfilling the Great Commission.
Ron and Paulette Jameson
Dear Mr. Armstrong:
My wife and I just returned from attending the Ministerial Refreshing
Program. We wanted to relay to you our deep gratitude for the oppor
tunity to attend and participate. We found the topics covered and
the material presented to be extremely relevant and helpful. The 140
pages of notes I took will serve as a reference notebook for years to
come. We found it very helpful to learn what your understanding and
the official Church teaching was on the larqe array of topics covered.
We had heard only positive comments from those who previously
attended.
But the material was even better than we had expected.
Mr. Armstrong, we are inspired by the ways God is using you to reach
the world's leaders with His message, as well as the way God is using
you to direct His Work. Our family prays for you daily.

Mr. Armstrong:
Greetings from Akron, Ohio. My wife and I just returned from the
three-week Refreshing Program at Pasadena.
We certainly want to join
many other ministers in saying a special ''thank you" for the fact
that you have made this program available to us.
I know one of the things that has been sadly lacking over the past
few years in the ministry has been unity. But I certainly know from
the three-week program what Christ has led you to understand in all
the major doctrinal areas. You can count on us to "teach as we have
been taught" these basic spiritual truths.
You are in our prayers daily, and we certainly wish you and your
family the best in every way. Thanks for your many years of hard
work and dedication to the Work of God. Your example has been an
inspiration to all of us in the ministry and church.
Mike and Sandy Swagerty
