PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, MAY 21, 1982
PAGE 4
BANGOR, ME--LEONARD HOLLADAY: I want to thank all the various
departments that work together with Ministerial Services to make
my service locally a much easier and smoother operation--from
Ambassador College to Publishing, Media (all facets), Y.O.U.,
Festival, Transportation, etc. (even the WATS lines!). It is
indeed a real comfort to know what a fine team God has called and
placed here to help Mr. Armstrong accomplish the greatest Work
man has ever known!
Keep up the vigil. Our people here are
totally supportive of God's great Work.
JOPLIN, MO--VINCE SZYMKOWIAK:
Please convey my deep thanks to
Mr. Armstrong for the small black handbook in which he gives
instructions on how to conduct funerals and the Passover. His
wisdom and guidance to us in invaluable. I often refer to his
instructions in the handbook and really appreciate the knowledge
contained in it. His teaching on how to pastor churches gives us
all great confidence.
--Joe Tkach, Ministerial Services

PT/YOUTH 82 Circulation Continues to Soar
A few weeks ago we reported that in March we added the highest number of new
subscribers ever. Well, the April figures have just come in and once more a
new record has been set--138,034 new people were added to The PLAIN TRUTH
mailing list last month! Thirty percent came from newsstands, 25% from
radio and TV, 18% from blow-in cards and the rest from other circulation
promotion programs. The total United States circulation is now over 3.2
million and the worldwide figure is approaching 4.8 million.
Recently, Mr. Armstrong has been advertising YOUTH 82 magazine on his TV
program and already more than 5,000 people have called in for a subscripÂ
tion.
This, combined with the response from the YOUTH 82 subscription
offer in the semiannual, has increased the May circulation by 170% over
April.
Newsstand PT Comments
Steve Nutzman of Terre Haute, Indiana sent us a copy of the "We
1
re Moving"
card on which the restaurant owner wrote, "Don't move! We need you, PLAIN
TRUTH. Come back, please!"
We are also including the following excerpts from newsstand subscribers for
your interest.
I have been a subscriber to The PLAIN TRUTH for a few months now,
having been introduced to your magazine at the airport where I am
taking flying lessons. Your work is much needed in our world. I
would like to contribute the enclosed to the further progress of
your many good projects.
