PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, MAY 8, 1981

The Tacoma Church is showing a warmer, friendlier spirit and a posi­
tive attitude as a group.
Mr. Armstrong's visit really helped the
brethren put past problems and criticism behind them and look forward
to doing the Work.
KANSAS CITY, KS--BRUCE GORE: People seem to be really getting turned
on as a result of a combination of things--fulfilled prophecy, film
and telecasts of Mr. Armstrong, and Mr. Gerald Waterhouse's visit.
Sure appreciate having the telecast in our area.
LIBERAL, KS--KELLY BARFIELD: Everyone enjoyed seeing Mr. Herbert W.
Armstrong in Denver and were inspired by his strength and delivery of
the sermon.
New York Brethren Inspired by Mr. Armstrong's Visit
Dear Mr. Armstrong:
Thank you for coming to New York City for the last day of Unleavened
Bread. Your sermon and very presence were extremely inspiring.
We
would never have known that you were suffering from the flu: you were
as clear and moving as ever. What a delight it was to see you again.
Virtually every member of both the Albany, NY and Springfield, MA
churches were present to see and hear you. Some of them drove as much
as five hours to be there. The brethren were all very inspired by your
message. I know the trips are time-consuming and physically demand­
ing, but they are so helpful to us. Thank you for coming to speak to
us.
We wanted to thank you also for the very enjoyable and inspiring
meeting you had with the ministers and their wives. You must have been
exhausted but your concern for us was very obvious. Thanks for your
time and thoughtfulness. My wife and I are still very inspired by your
being there.
Our children pray for you each day and they found the
opportunity to see you in person very moving.
We wanted to thank Mr. Fahey for his sermon also. We found it very
helpful and inspiring. We ministers certainly need to be preached to
regularly also. We pray for you daily and will continue to do so.

Mr. Armstrong's March 7th Sermon Film
Mr. Tkach:
Brethren in the Tupelo and Columbus, MS churches appreciated greatly
the sermon film from Mr. Armstrong. Many commented about how strong
he looked and spoke. Some said they thought this was the best sermon
they ever heard Mr. Armstrong give.

Member Appreciates Sincere Efforts of His Minister
Dear Mr. Tkach:
I would like to tell you, as the head of Ministerial Services in the
Church, how fulfilling it is to hear God's ministers speaking with one
