Dear Mr. Armstrong:
My wife and I would like to express our heartfelt thanks to you and
the entire Refreshing Program staff for an invaluable experience.
Every facet of the program beautifully exemplified the way of GIVE.
The entire three weeks was a sumptuous spiritual banquet,brimful and
running over. We are already looking forward to round two.
You referred to 1981 as a "new beginning" for the Work of God. The
Refreshing Program is certainly playing a major role in this
renaissance. Thanks again for such an inspiring and profitable
program.

Dear Mr. Armstrong:
Thank you very much for the Refreshing Program, and for opening it
up to elders not employed by the Work. I was able to use a week's
vacation to participate in the first week of the sixth session.
The course was very encouraging and uplifting with everyone speaking
the same thing and in a positive attitude reflecting real teamwork.
The course was corrective as well, but not by anyone pointing a finger
saying "you haven't been doing your job." The correction came from
the high standards that have been set for all of us.
Thank you again Mr. Armstrong for giving us the guidance we all so
very much need, and for doing it in such a positive and exciting
manner. Good fruit will be produced from this for all of God's
people.

Dear Mr. Tkach and "The Team":
Just a few words of appreciation for the Refreshing Program. Since
we were on sabbatical four years ago we can make some very personal
comparisons. The most outstanding one is the basic attitude of the
instructors: there is no question where everybody is coming from and
where their loyalties are, and that is very refreshing and comforting
for those of us in the field. We have left Pasadena this time totally
positive and without any misgivings at how everything is being con
ducted, and without questions about the purpose and motives of those
responsible for administering God's Work under Mr. Armstrong.
BelievE
you me, that is beautiful!
