PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, MAY 15, 1981
Page 11
I have been listening to your show here in Ottawa for the last few
nights and am interested in learning more about the things you have
been talking about.
I have heard you offer free literature on your
program and would be very interested in receiving anything you could
send me, especially your booklets THE UNITED STATES AND BRITAIN IN
PROPHECY, WHAT IS FAITH? and ALL ABOUT WATER BAPTISM.

INCREASES IN MAIL AND TELEVISION RESFONSE CONTINUE
Again this week we are pleased to report continued increases in response to
God's Work in the United States:
Daily Mail Up 24% Over Last Year
At the end of April, the average daily mail count in Mail Receiving was just
over 7,000 letters per day.
This was 24% higher than last year's daily
average of 5,700 letters for the same period. The two main reasons for this
increase were PT renewals and PT cards.
Excellent Television Response
Response to The WORLD TOMORROW telecast has been rapidly increasing since
February 1981.
April was a record-setting month for the telecast since
1978. The following breakdown illustrates a most encouraging trend for the
first four months of this year:
January response•.......... 2,160 calls
February response•..•••.•.. 4,227 calls
(up 96% over January)
March response..........•• 10,883 calls (up 157% over February)
April response••••.•...... 13,572 calls
(up 25% over March)
Important reasons for these sudden increases include:
1. The new telecasts are tailored for T.V. audiences and are therefore
attention grabbing.
2. Mr. Armstrong's personal endorsement of literature and his giving
both the toll-free and California phone numbers.
3. The addition of several new powerful T.V. stations including
Chicago's WGN, Kansas City's KCMO and Denver's KOA.
