PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, NOVEMBER 20, 1981
PAGE 9
PORTLAND (EAST), OR--JIM HAEFFELE: we really appreciated Bob Fahey's
reports from the Pastor General's Office. It adds so much to the PGR
and keeps us up on the "latest" news in the Work. It's a very wonder
ful addition.
TUPELO, MS--ROGER W. WEST:
New people are adding new life to the
Church.
All the new people being added to the Church in the past
couple of months are families, both the husband and wife being bap
tized.
CHICO/EUREKA, CA--MARC SEGALL: Have received recent inquiries from
new people--it looks as if we will have a good harvest of new PM's and
members. Mr. and Mrs. Blackwell's visit was so helpful. We enjoyed
their company and their willingness to stay in our home. The brethren
were impressed by their "down to earth" concern and warmth.
Our
thanks to Mr. Tkach for encouraging the evangelists to come and visit
the outlying Churches.
Some brethren traveled five hours, one way,
because it was so encouraging to be able to hear a representative of HQ
and Mr. Armstrong.
KALA."1AZ00, MI--KEN WILLIAMS: Thank you for sending Mr. Meredith here
for the Feast of Trumpets. The brethren were surprised and delighted
when they first heard he was coming. His sermons (sermon plus offer
ing message) were inspiring and encouraging. Since some of the older
ministers have gone astray, Mr.·Meredith's loyalty to God and His Work
is particularly encouraging to the older members. We all benefited by
his visit.
GRAND ISLAND, NE--DON HOOSER: We greatly appreciated Mr. Waterhouse
being here again in Grand Island and North Platte for his mind-expand
ing Bible Studies! He was very inspired and dynamic in spite of having
a bad case of the flu! It gave us all a spiritual high and made us
feel like we had started the Feast days already. I know that the Feast
of Tabernacles will be even more meaningful because of the foundation
of understanding that Mr. Waterhouse gave us.
I think everyone is extremely pleased with the opening of the Big
Sandy campus again and its fine start this fall. Also with the fine
growth and example of Ambassador College in general. I appreciated
hearing about the results of the survey of the AC alumni and how well
they are doing financially and otherwise. This will help dispel some
misconceptions about the value of an AC education.
DENVER, CO--JAMES E. REYER: Very happy to have Mr. Waterhouse here
for Trumpets. Many commented on how they enjoyed his message. I am
glad to see someone so dedicated as he to God's Work and Mr. Armstrong
come through this area. It is an inspiration. I have not thanked Mr.
Armstrong yet for the RAISE in salary I received. Thank you all on
behalf of my wife and myself. We are privileged to be a part of this
Work. We pray for all of you on the team at HQ.
