PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, January 23, 1981
Page 13
ways have peace of mind. Even though sometimes we have trials, I
know that with God's Holy Spirit and keeping His corrunandments, we can
overcome.
Thank you, Mr. Armstrong, for your prayers--you don't know me person
ally, but I know you have a place in your heart for each one of the
brethren.
Mr. & Mrs. Isaiah Keitt (Columbia, SC)
What a miraculous privilege it is to be a member of God's Church!
It is more than I can express in words, but I do thank God the Father
each day for His goodness in calling me to repentance. The way He
answers my prayers would be incredible if I did not know of His
promises and the fact that He will not lie. If you read between
these lines, I hope you will see gratitude, and also love. I am so
grateful for you, Mr. Armstrong, and Mr. Rader as well as the whole
ministry.
Mrs. Marris Owings Jr. (Childersburg, AL)
Being on my own now as a student at a local university, I have found
that I need God more than ever before. I find myself praying more
each day and thinking about how this society is so wrapped up in
"dcing their own thing." Each week I look forward to going to church
services because it is a great escape from the foul language and foul
minds on campus.
I believe with all my heart that you, Mr. Armstrong, are God's chosen
apostle. No other man has done as much as you have in preparing
God's Church and getting it ready for its big wedding day. I thank
God for allowing me to be in His Church, and enabling me to know
about the future. I understand that everyone is not being judged
now and that their time will come. If only the people in the false
churches knew this.
God's work is moving full speed ahead and nothing on this planet can
or will get in its way!

ON THE WORLD SCENE
"SQUALID" DEAL SETS FREE AMERICA'S PRISONERS "It's over: the great
Satan bows to all our conditions." So trumpeted Tehran's Kayhan news
paper following the announcement of a U.S.-Iranian agreement to end the
14-month-old hostage crisis.
"Down With America, Down With Reagan," shouted Iran's revolutionary
guards--in English--as the two Algerian jets carrying the 52 American
hostages prepared to depart Tehran airport for freedom.
Thus, Iranian authorities kept up the vitriol to the very end. But
with January 20 looming, they felt they had to get whatever they could
out of the Carter administration. They had no desire to deal with a
man who bluntly called them what they really are--barbarians--and who
publicly called the 52 unfortunate Americans what they really were-
"prisoners of war."
