not forgetting the catering and custodial staffs without whose
help of course it would have been a lot harder on our wives. We
definitely feel the second refresher is an improvement over the
first and naturally we are looking forward to number three.

Mr. Joseph Tkach:
Thank you for another fine and very helpful Ministerial Refresh­
ing Program! It was a special privilege to be on campus for the
College's year-end activities and to be present for the Young
Ambassadors Feast show taping. The brethren here were eager to
hear about the program and to be updated on the latest news of the
Work, which I gave in an overview sermon last Sabbath. They were
also deeply moved by the powerful witness Mr. Armstrong gave to
the Manila Rotary Club.
We showed the video tape after the
sermon.

Dear Mr. Tkach:
I wanted to write and thank you for a couple of things.
First of all, my wife and I want to express our appreciation for
the refreshing program. We thoroughly enjoyed being on God's
campus again and fellowshipping with the other ministers and
their wives. It was inspiring that the unity, harmony and serv­
ing attitude still prevailed--even more so than a year and a half
ago when we were on the first program.
The classes were encouraging, uplifting and will help tremendous­
ly in fulfilling the responsibilities we have been given. Thanks
again.
Also, I wanted to thank you on behalf of the Casper, Sheridan and
Billings Churches for sending Mr. and Mrs. Rod Matthews out over
the Pentecost weekend. The brethren were very inspired by the
slide presentation, "A Worldwide Work." Their understanding of
the worldwide scope of God's Church was greatly enhanced. I'm
sure their prayers for God's Work will be much more specific and
fervent as a result of Rod's visit. After his presentation on
the Sabbath, and then combining the three churches on Pentecost,
I had several people comment that this was the most inspiring and
profitable Pentecost they had ever enjoyed.

Comments From Monthly Church Reports
MIAMI, FL--AL KERSHA: One of the most noticeable trends in our
area is the increase in PM activity. During the last couple of
months the number of visit request slips has picked up
considerably. I believe this is in part due to our improved
media coverage in the area and certainly because of the inspired,
timely and dynamic messages of God's apostle.
