PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, January 23, 1981
It was good to experience the refreshing atmosphere of friendliness
amongst fellow ministers and wives, the College students, and mem
bers of the Pasadena congregation. It is evident that God is re
storing His blessings upon His Church as we seek to please Him and
back up His chosen Apostle in fulfilling the greatest Work on earth.
We count ourselves very privileged to be called to feed the flock
and complete the Work God has entrusted us to do.
Finally, we wish you good health and greater success in all your
dedicated services to God, Mr. Armstrong and the Church.

Mr. Tkach:
I feel like a Blatz Beer commercial!
I didn't believe it! The Refreshing Program could not be that
inspiring and helpful as the Pastor General's Report comments
suggested. Could it be that unifying?
Well, I'm a believer now! We have gleaned more in the first three
days than all other conferences combined! The best part of the
1978 conference was going out to dinner.
The best part of the Refreshing Program has been the spiritual
food. The spiritual diet has been helpful, inspiring, motivating,
encouraging, balanced, wise and unifying.
Please thank all those involved for helping us to grow and to
better serve the people of God.
