when you asked for 20 volunteers and got 40. This is making all
of our jobs easier."
GAINESVILLE, GA--MARC S. MASTERSON:
The overall attitude and
spirit in the Churches here are fantastic.
The brethren are
really fellowshipping. They are behind Mr. Armstrong and God's
Work as never before.
SPRINGFIELD, MS--LYLE WELTY: Have received a large increase in
the number of PM's. In one month we've received more than half of
what we received for the whole of last year. Mr. Armstrong's
telecasts are having quite an impact on this area.
YOUNGSTOWN, OH--EUGENE NOEL:
The Church is very encouraged by
the fact The WORLD TOMORROW is now on a local television station.
The PM's have more than tripled. Most of them are individuals
who are very interested.
FORT WORTH, TX--BOB SMITH: We have been quite impressed by the
quality of some new families moving into the area.
With the
addition of local PM's--most of whom are friends or family mem
bers of current members of the Church--we crescendoed dramati
cally to an average attendance, for eight services, of 550!
OMAHA, NE--ARTHUR W. DOCKEN:
Several young people who were
turned down for Ambassador College and a couple of other teen
agers are asking for baptism. Also, there has been a significant
upturn in PM's contacting us. In spite of some unemployment and
reduced working hours, the offering on the last holy day was a
record.
LIBERAL/SCOTT CITY, KS--KELLY BARFIELD:
In Scott City the
brethren have their hearts in the Work--total offering first holy
day was $30.00 per person. Went to Hays last holy day to hear Mr.
Dean Blackwell--they really appreciated hearing from someone from
HQ. Liberal brethren had an offering of $47.14 per person on the
last holy day!
LONG BEACH, CA--AL DENNIS: We have had a very fine spring holy
day season. The Church is alive and looking forward to the end of
this age. Everybody, it seems, has a problem of some kind that is
causing him to grow. Several people have volunteered to work on
the WATS line on Sunday.
BOISE, ID; BAKER/ONTARIO, OR--JEFF McGOWAN: Most people in Boise
are doing well spiritually and they seem to be making it finan
cially in a depressed economy. The people in Baker, overall, are
stable and with the Work. The brethren of Ontario are doing
well. They seem to be really seeking their God and Father in
heaven to help them with their problems. People with serious
afflictions have shown remarkable courage to face their problems
and not lose hope. Truly all of these people have been a real
inspiration to me because of the severity of the problems. They
not only endure them, but they have not lost their senses of
humor and their capaciey to cheer those who visit them.
