Malachi 3:10 Being Fulfilled!
My husband and I have observed our first third tithe year. We've paid
off a truck loan, received a huge tax return to buy another truck, and
we' re in the process of buying a house. Our food closet is over
flowing. Our family differences have been overcome. My husband has
gotten a job after not working since last Feast of Tabernacles. We
have a beautiful new daughter and on and on it goes. God has truly
rewarded us for obeying His tithing laws.
Mrs. J.E. (Dover, OH)
My wife and I are in our first third tithe year. God is not only
providing all our physical needs, but He has also blessed us with many
answers to prayer. He has healed us and our son. My wife has just
been healed of appendicitis without doctors, drugs or surgery. God
has opened our minds to more spiritual knowledge. He has provided
opportunities for us to learn to serve others. Also, He has blessed us
with some trials (growth opportunities) and has brought a long
standing situation to a head where it will be solved. God is indeed
bringing Malachi 3:10 to pass in our lives.
R. & C.S. (Joplin, MO)
Mr. Armstrong, as I send in God's tithes this morning, I cannot help
think how God has blessed me in this third tithe year.
As I started this year, it sure looked bad financially. I had lost a
house rental, and picked up an extra house payment.
However, I
trusted God and knew that if we seek first His Kingdom, the physical
things would be given to us. Today I have more money in the bank than I
have ever had, and I have been able to help other people around me more
with physical things than ever before.
I can only thank God, you (Mr. Armstrong) and God's ministry for the
help in teaching us and making God's truth plain in our so often deaf
ears.

ENCOURAGING RESPONSE TO GOD'S WORK IN THE U.S. CONTINUES
Dramatic Increase in Number of Telephone Calls
There has been a dramatic increase in the number of telephone calls coming
over our WATS lines during the last several months. We have seen a 46%
year-to-date increase as of the end of June.
Calls come in our WATS lines for a variety of reasons, but this increase can
be attributed mainly to literature requests as a result of Mr. Armstrong's
telecast·. When looking at the call volume for the telecast alone, we see a
243% increase year-to-date! As a result of this growth, we have added six
�phone lines in order to increase our capacity for handling the addi
tional calls.
The volume of calls is not the only growth that is encouraging.
calling seem more excited about the telecast than several years ago.
