PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, MAY 28, 1982
PAGE 5
We appreciated the accommodations, the free phone calls, excel­
lent food (I brought back one and one-half extra pounds with me),
the banquets and use of the athletic faci1ities.
We certainly
feel we were treated royally!
Both Marian and
I
feel energized to certainly hold up Mr.
Armstrong's hands all the more in order to complete this end-time
Work!

Mr. Joseph Tkach:
Jannice and I wish to express our sincere thanks to the capable
staff members who teach at the Refreshing Program. We especially
thank Mr. Herbert Armstrong for guiding them.
The program is
such a marvelous blessing and opportunity for all of us in the
ministry.
God has certainly given us meat in due season, and
through it the entire Church is being nourished.
Some have commented on the unity they see when they come to head­
quarters, as compared to the disunity of a few years ago. After
being here for three years,
I
have seen a major transition take
place. Mr. Armstrong moved back and is firmly in the driver's
seat. And oh, how God has been blessing His entire Work! Every
aspect of the Work is unified and growing by leaps and bounds.
Thanks again, staff.

Mr. Joe Tkach:
My wife and
I
wish to express our grateful thanks for a truly
inspiring Refreshing Programme. What a blessing to spend time on
God's beautiful headquarters campus in an atmosphere of loyalty,
harmony and cooperation, and to receive the guidance of those who
are helping, at close quarters, to hold up the arms of the
Apostle.
God bless you all in your efforts to share the weight of respon­
sibility placed on Mr. Armstrong's shoulders.
I'm sure Mr.
Armstrong is deeply moved by your loyalty and diligence as indeed
were we.
Please pass on our gratitude to all those who helped to make the
programme such a resounding success.
And please let Mr.
Armstrong know that we and our churches are praying for him
daily.

Mr. Tkach:
Just wanted to say thank you for the opportunity to visit the
college. This was my first trip to California and it meant a lot·
to me.
Being able to be a part of the lectures each day and to walk the
campus grounds was a dream come true!
