PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, April 3, 1981
Thank you, Mr. Armstrong, for inviting the ministry and my wife and
me to the Refresher Program! The teachers you are using are truly
filled with God's Holy Spirit, true dedication, loyalty, unity, and
a
love
for God's people.
All the students, workers and ministers reflect a good example and
show that God's College, Work and Church are back on the track!!
Mr. Armstrong, what an honor it was for me to sit among the Congress
of leading ministers God has called at this time in history. When
all of the top ministers from around the world came into the room,
a chill ran up my spine just to be sitting in the same room. And
when you came into the room it was an automatic standing ovation, as
tears of joy came to our eyes. It is exciting to see you in good
health and able to accomplish all the work you are doing. It is
clear that when God called you He did not call a weakling. Thank
you sincerely Mr. Armstrong for allowing my wife and me to be a part
of this great Work. It's a pleasure to be behind you to get this
Work done!!

Dear Mr. Tkach:
Greetings again from Australia. We arrived back from the Refresher
Program to face a mountain of mail which we've only just cleared
away.
Now that we're on top of things again, we'd like to take this
opportunity to thank you and your staff for a most profitable
program. In addition to the excellent courses each day, we were
really encouraged by the degree of cooperation and harmony among
the various department heads in Pasadena, and also by the interest
and friendliness of the students. The fruit of God's Spirit has
again made Pasadena the unique place it once was a number of years
ago.

Dear Mr. Tkach:
Just a note to say thank you for all the work that went into
making the eighth Refresher Program such a success! We must
admit that the first couple of days were a bit sobering for
Marsi and me as we were focusing on the challenge of measuring
up to the calling of the ministry. But each session served to
fill our need to learn more about how to serve effectively in the
ministry.
The program was tremendously inspiring and helpful!--like a super
concentrated and well balanced slice of the Ambassador College way
of life. The campus looked great, and we can personally attest to
the spirit of peace that prevailed in contrast to the time we were
working in Pasadena.
The Wednesday night dinners, the opportunity to attend the speech
banquet and to attend one of the Women's Clubs, the concert oppor
tunities in the Auditorium and the great food all worked together
