PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, JULY 24, 1981
PAGE 9
Also, I might add that Mr. Albrecht spoke to Bart shortly before the
accident to encourage him and offer him a job promotion--because of his
diligence, dependability, etc. I had spoken to several within the past few
weeks about this very matter, hoping we could reward Bart.
Please ask the people in God's Church in your areas to remember Bart Boyer
in their prayers •. His mother, whom we just talked to on the phone, said she
would appreciate our putting this announcement in the Pastor General's
Report.
Mr. Albrecht and Mr. Faulkner are immediately leaving again for the hos
pital to see how Bart is doing. The other minister is still there with him.
We will give you a report on Bart's progress in the near future.
On a brighter note, the Japanese students arrived this week. They are
excited about being here on this, the world's most beautiful campus. One of
their chaperons told me just yesterday that a number of the Japanese
students have said they wanted to stay here and not return to Japan! Can
you imagine why?
All is coming along very well with the College during the present summer
session of classes. Also, we are offering a number of Continuing Education
Classes (I am teaching one on Marriage and the Family) during the summer
break.
We again thank all of you ministers for your steadfast support of Ambas
sador and ask your continued prayers that the College will be run the way
God wants it run--as communicated through the instructions which God's
Apostle gives to those of us in College Administration.
--Raymond F. McNair, Deputy Chancellor
FROM THE MAIL PROCESSING CENTER
From January through June of this year, we added 462,000 new people to our
computer files. This is a new all-time record for the first six months in
any year since we've been keeping records! Also, it is a 1001 increase over
the same period last year.
Of all the identifiable media sources used by the Work, PLAIN TRUTH pro
grams produced 78% of the new additions. PLAIN TRUTH subscription issues,
which are mailed to people's homes, brought in 113,000 new subscriptions.
The main reason for this exceptional response was due to a new response card
that is inserted in PLAIN TRUTH copies. The card seems to pull well because
it is easy to remove from the magazine, is simple to fill out and postage is
prepaid.
The following five media sources were mostly responsible for the new
additions.
