Members Grateful for January Fast
Many members wrote to Mr. Armstrong to thank him for proclaiming the
Churchwide fast on January 1. They universally agreed that it was needed
and that it helped them to draw closer to God and one another. A number
commented that they experienced a greater unity and sense of purpose in the
Church. Several were inspired to send special offerings. Some of their
comments follow.
I am thankful that you called this special fast day for the Work
of the living God. Every time this has happened in the past it
seems the brethren became more united in spirit and truth. I
hope for the same to happen this time and for many miracles to
take place in our lives so we can serve God more.

Thank you for starting out the calendar year by proclaiming the
Church fast on January 1. It was very, very helpful in rededi­
cating ourselves to this great Work.
T.W. & family (Aurora, CO)
I am so thankful you proclaimed January 1, 1983 as a day of fast­
ing for the entire Church, worldwide. How fitting that we who
are in the world, but not of the world, should be fasting before
our great God while the rest of the world was feasting and making
merry.
