ELKHART-MICHIGAN CITY, IN--RAND MILLICH: Unemployment and illness
seem to be the concerns in the Elkhart area. Members have been
supportive of each other in these trials. This support has been
encouraging to those facing these problems. There has been a
positive and enthusiastic response concerning Mr. Armstrong re

now considering going to Ambassador College who would not have in
the big city environment of Pasadena.
More members in Michigan City have been commenting on the TV and
radio programs by Mr. Armstrong than before. They are encouraged
by the work that he is doing in reaching the public. They are
praying that God gives him the strength to continue the demanding
pace.
YOUNGSTOWN, OH--EUGENE NOEL: Mr. Armstrong's tapes are drawing
large numbers for our Bible studies. About 60% new PM's continuing
to pick up with several progressing toward baptism.
FT. WAYNE, IN--STEPHEN SMITH: We have had a large number of people

Church is definitely making progress, but much remains to be done.

surely a strong example for all of us to follow.
CINCINNATI, OH(SOUTH)--JIM LICHTENSTEIN: The Church is stable and
a warm group to work with. I especially enjoy the Sabbath fellow

LOUISVILLE, KY--RAY A. MEYER: People have been responding well to
the sermons I have given recently, especially those on prayer,
fasting, and Bible study. I believe many have neglected these
