dedicated men to call on, and such good examples to learn from.
When I looked at this group, called out of all races and coun
tries, I wept with joy at having the privilege of being a part of
the firstfruits and having true shepherds to guide us. Thank you
for your generosity and thinking of sending such a gift so that
we can pray better and feel unified more strongly than ever.

The brochure with the ministers has been such a help to me. When
ever I see a minister
I
s name which I don
I
t recognize or don
I
t
know where the minister serves, I look the individual up. Where
I used to pray daily only for the Advisory Council of Elders, I
now pray for all the ministers by name and responsibility.
Please update the pictorial when necessary. Thanks so much for
providing it!

How wonderful to have the pictorial showing the Pastor General
and all the ordained ministers. Thank you, thank you. I never
tire of going over it each day and memorizing names and places.
Mrs. E.M. (Pullman, WA)
Just want to thank you for the pictorial of the ministers! It's
just wonderful to see the faces of those we've been praying for
in such places as Burma, Singapore, Guyana, etc.!
This really
helps in our prayer life.

Thank you for publishing the pictorial of the ordained ministers
in the Worldwide Church of God. I have looked forward to receiv
ing it ever since the announcement that it would become avail
able. It will be used frequently for years to come and will help
me in accomplishing my goal of being a vital, concerned link in
the Work God is doing today.

AFTERMATH OF FALKLANDS VICTORY--PROUD BRITAIN RIDING HIGH; MRS. THATCHER'S
FIRMNESS PAYS OFF BUT AMERICA WAVERS In 74 days the conflict in the South
Atlantic was all over and Britain's Union Jack was flying once again over
Government House in Port Stanley, diminutive capital of the wild and wind
swept Falkland Islands.
Britain's swift triumph--to be sure not without
cost, with 250 dead, seven ships and 15 aircraft lost and a long-term cost
of over two and one-half billion dollars--was made all the more remarkable
because of the sheer logistics problem of fighting a war 8,000 miles from
home base.
In the end, most observers credited Britain's victory to superior weapons
in the hands of outnumbered but professional and highly motivated fighting
forces. But the element of "luck"--was it really that?--played a big role
as well, especially in the most critical phase of the entire operation, the
