From a Ministerial Trainee
Dear Mr. Tkach:
I am one of the guys working on the trainee program in Canada. I
work under Mr. Roy Page in Winnipeg.
I am writing you to express my appreciation for this tremendous
opportunity. I have learned so much this summer and the minis­
ters I have worked with have been most helpful. I even had the
opportunity to spend some time with Mr. Waterhouse. He is doing
a terrific job of inspiring the brethren and I had the pleasure
of hearing him speak three times.
Mr. Tkach, if you can, please pass my thanks on to Mr. Armstrong
and let him know the benefit of this program.

Another Spectacular Miracle
Heather Mccaulley was born on September 9, 1981 with her left leg
apparently out of joint. After many attempts to put it back and
after a thorough examination, the doctors realized that there was
!!£
socket for the thigh bone to fit into! Her parents were told
that she needed to be put into a cast right away in the hope that
the dynamic growth of early infancy would help a socket to form
around the leg held in proper position. Otherwise surgery would
be needed to try and cut out a socket in her hip. Unless such
measures were successful, Heather would have to wear braces and
walk with a severe limp for the rest of her life.
Her parents knew there was another alternative and had Heather
anointed. She was put into a cast and the brethren locally were
asked to pray for her. The original estimate by the doctors was
that it would take six to nine months of treatment before anyone
could know anything for sure. Within six weeks and while at the
Feast of Tabernacles, a pediatrician examined Heather and
pronounced her perfectly normal.
Later, after the Feast, the
orthopedic surgeon who had put the cast on her said he couldn't
be sure she was well because he had never seen such a serious
problem of that nature in an infant before. He kept observing
her for the next few months just to be sure. Four months later he
concurred that Heather was indeed completely well.
Her parents
knew at the Feast that God had performed a great miracle.
