growing over the last several months as God's Apostle becomes
more powerful and effective.
SANTA BARBARA, CA--LES McCOLM:
Attendance is up considerably.
Attitudes are excellent.
Mr. Armstrong's latest member letter
has really stirred into action many of those who were not as
zealous as they could be.
Everyone really was inspired by Mr.
Waterhouse's sermon.
MINNEAPOLIS (SOUTH) /LAKE CRYSTAL, MN--VICTOR KUBIK:
Very en
couraged about several very promising new PM's.
Had a signif
icant increase in Bible study attendance.
There are continual
comments from brethren and PM's about how excellent Mr. Armstrong
speaks and appears in his latest TV broadcasts.
The WORLD
TOMORROW program can be viewed on three cable channels in most
areas. The newsstand program, along with the excellent TV cover
age, are adding new PT subscribers at a very good rate.
CINCINNATI (NORTH) , OH--JACK PAKOZDI:
There has been consid
erable activity with PM's wanting to be baptized. I am currently
counseling about 10 people for baptism, which is the most at any
one time in several years.
CHICO/EUREKA, CA--MARC SEGALL: Significant increase in PM's who
are
serious and conscientious about conversion and Church
involvement.
Mr. Armstrong's telecasts, broadcasts and the
contents of the PT and GN are leading those God is calling to a
more thorough understanding of the truth.
New people are
especially interested in understanding prophecy, God's laws and
the holy days. Much appreciation for the photo directory of the
ministry and for the Youth Bible Lessons.
FAYETTEVILLE, AR--JOHN R. ELLIOTT: Confidence in the leadership
in Pasadena is becoming bedrock solid. Pessimism has vanished.
The first refreshing program was aimed at unifying the ministry
worldwide in doctrine and teaching. This second session, aimed
more at administration and effectiveness of the person, was
tremendous also. I learned so much the first three days I wanted
to return home immediately and implement the many ideas and
principles. During the next week and a half the problem was only
compounded. I sure came away brimful.
PIKEVILLE, KY--WARREN J. HEATON III:
We appreciate the Youth
Bible Lessons for the youngsters.
Parents are pleased that
another lesson came out and are looking forward to more.
My
nine-year-old really gets excited when he sees his.
--Joe Tkach, Ministerial Services
