especially aware of the friendly and warm atmosphere which cur

to pull together as a team. Thanks again for your hospitality.

Dear Mr. Armstrong:
Kathy and I have just completed the seventh session of the Re
freshing Program II and we wish to thank you for this wonderful
opportunity. We are excited about the new emphasis on our train
ing the members to be teachers in the Kingdom. That understand
ing added even greater significance to what we received in all of
the classes.
They all seemed to tie into that theme.
I am
anxious to carry that theme into my future sermons here in Beth
lehem, Pennsylvania.

Dear Mr. Armstrong:
My wife and I want to thank you for making it possible for us,
along with the other ministers and elders, to attend the fourth
session of the Ministerial Refreshing Program.
It is such a
worthwhile and productive program, giving unity and direction to
the Church as a whole.
As always, the highlight of the Refreshing Program was your pre
sentation on the first Tuesday showing the high calling God has
given His Church. We have heard you broadcast God's wonderful
truth for over 35 years.

Dear Mr. Armstrong and Supporting Team:
I didn't know so much could be packed into five weeks (Programs I
and II). With all the material given along with all the ideas and
material generated by such, Christ will have to wait at least
three and one-half years to come back so I'll have time to get
through it all. I've not yet exhausted all of the material and
•spinoff• from the first program!
Before coaing out to Pasadena I asked everyone in the local area
to pray that I'd be one giant "sponge" so I could soak it all up
and then return and •squeeze" it out. They must have been pray
ing!
I know that the MRP is the single best thing that has ever been
done for the ministry and Church as a whole, especially in terms
of unity and growth. I was in on the fifth session this time, and
once again all I can say after experiencing the unity, teamwork
and camaraderie so evident is thanks for such a tremendous and
beneficial program.
I' 11 be eagerly anticipating the third
program. In·the meantime I will give to the congregations here
as fully and thoroughly as I can, with God's help, what has been
given to me.
