PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, JULY 3, 1981
PAGE 4
We will strive to be a better team in service to the local flock here
in Tampa, Florida. This teaching will enable us to assist Mr. Lohr
more competently as he pastors our local church. Thank you again for
allowing us to have this specialized training. Only God and Christ
know the real value to His Work of bringing in not only the full-time
ministry, but we local church elders and our wives as well!

Dear Mr. Tkach:
Thank you for allowing us to participate in the eleventh refresher
program. Maybe those of us who are not Ambassador graduates couldn't
be "refreshed"--but we could be "infused!" Words cannot tell you what
it was like to see the campus for the first time or to partake of a
three-week feast of learning. Our prayers are that we use it with
wisdom.
Everyone was so considerate and competent--from the staff who kept the
apartment to those who aided Mr. Green in overfeeding us.
Please
convey our thanks to every department.

Dear Mr. Tkach:
Thank you very much for the privilege Barbara and I experienced in
being able to attend the tenth session of the Ministerial Refresher
Program.
Once again it is a thrill to be on the Pasadena campus,
especially now that Mr. Armstrong is there and it once again is
"headquarters." It was inspiring to hear from the men whose loyalty
to God and His Apostle has stood the test of time and whose approach is
simply to support and back Mr. Armstrong in the Great Commission.
It was encouraging to meet and talk with many of the students and
imbibe of the "Ambassador atmosphere" we knew from our own college
days in Bricket Wood. It was great to reminisce with old friends and
fellow labourers in the Work, and equally valuable to get to know
those who had previously just been names to us and find the same
Spirit.
Barbara and I wish to express our deep gratitude to Mr. Armstrong,
yourself and your staff for the whole experience.
Bill and Barbara Hutchison

MACON, GA--F. OTTO LOCHNER:
We are being deluged with requests to
attend God's Church. Old time PM's and new ones are calling and asking
to be counselled. Not able to catch up, especially when one visits and
discusses baptism in detail. Three baptisms last week: seven total
for the month.
CHILLICOTHE, OH--DAVE TREYBIG: Have had a number of new people come
as a result of knowing others who took The PLAIN TRUTH magazine. When
one of the group finally wrote in for a visit, he found out there was
