Other articles are by staff writers trained in Ambassador College as were
all ministers. The Bible Correspondence Course, with thousands studying
it, is all the teaching of the apostle. In this Gospel-proclaiming area
is the Mail Processing Center, where hundreds of thousands--even millions
--of letters are received from listeners, viewers and readers. This
center includes ordained ministers trained by the apostle, who answer
letters asking Biblical questions, and seeking spiritual counsel.
In the area of "Feeding the Flock," first is Ambassador College,
educating and training men for the ministry, and others for various

Keeping Track of Automobile Expenses
It has come to our attention that several of the ministers with monthly
expense allotments are, on a regular basis, using part of their allotments
for automobile expenses. Because we need to keep specific track of fleet
expenses, we need you to let us know if this is happening to you so we can
allocate the various expenses to the proper budget. If you fall into this

on 9utomobile expenses and how much is spent on general expenses. It
would be helpful if you can include a short explanation as to the type
auto expense (gas and oil, repairs, etc.).
