Dear Mr. Armstrong:
My wife and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts
for giving us the opportunity to attend the Refreshing P.�gram.
These past three weeks have been the highlight of our ministry.
We no longer have to wonder what we should teach the brethren.
We have been truly refreshed with the true doctrines and policies
Christ has put in the Church through you.
We are also thankful for the dedication and loving concern of men
like Mr. Stanley Rader, Mr. Joe Tkach, Dr. Herman Hoeh, Mr. Dean
Blackwell, Mr. Leroy Neff and a host of others that support you and
serve us from Pasadena.
They have made our stay here very enjoy­
able and most profitable. We thank God for putting us in the
ministry and giving us a part in supporting you in this great Work!

Dear Mr. Armstrong:
I too would like to greatly thank you for the Ministerial Refreshing
Program! My wife and I benefited much, had a lot of fun and went
home with much to share with the brethren.
What struck me so deeply was the tremendous example of GIVE being
shown forth by all involved with the running of the program. They
are working very hard to back you up faithfully and to serve us in
the ministry.
. '
One specific area of note is how personable and "given to hospitality"
all these have been. In three weeks time I received more opportu­
nities to meet, be in the homes of and begin building friendships
and working relationships with more evangelists, employees, faculty,
wives and students, etc., than ever before. So thank you again for
this terrific program.

Dear Mr. Armstrong:
Thank you very much, Mr. Armstrong, for allowing and encouraging the
ministers' wives to attend the Refreshing Program. I truly am
refreshed both mentally and spiritually.
The sessions were outstanding, the food delicious (my husband gained
11 pounds), the fellowship with the ministers' wives was most enjoy­
able and the opportunity to meet some of the instructors I did not
know was appreciated.
I am grateful that you feel as though we are your sons and daughters;
you are very special to us. Thank you once again for the Refreshing
Program.
Joy Howe
P.S. My husband needed that extra 11 pounds!
