Comments From Monthly Church Reports
From Australia
EMERALD/CLERMONT, QLD--BRIAN ORCHARD:
Everything is
smoothly in the area. The much needed rain turned out to
inches and has caused much damage, but it appears at this
that it has not adversely affected the members.

QLD--BRIAN ORCHARD:
It has been a very busy month
following the days of Unleavened Bread. It seems that Christ is
working strongly with His people here. There is a growing re
sponsiveness amongst the members and also more fellowshipping.
TEMORA, NSW--BRUCE DEAN: Members are always commenting on "The
World Tomorrow" television programme by Mr. Armstrong. They all
appreciate the good time for the programme and are excited at the
power and inspiration of Mr. Armstrong's message. They seem to
schedule Sundays around the programme.
IPSWICH, QLD--DAVID NOLLER: Attendance is at an all-time high.
Spokesmen's Club is progressing well with members enthusiastic.
Spokesmen's Club, Y.O.U., Y.E.S.--all seem to be bearing fruit as
the Church seems to be becoming more friendly and turned on.
WODONGA, VIC--BRUCE DEAN: In both Wodonga and Temora the members
appreciated Mr. Morton's visit. People in country areas really
appreciate hearing from the Regional Director and the news of the
Work. I have heard many positive comments on the sermon by Mr.
Morton.
PERTH, WA--ROBERT REGAZZOLI: This was a very active and inspir
ing month for the Church. Highlights included the Holy Days, a
visit by Regional Director, Mr. Robert Morton, and the first of
the PLAIN TRUTH Bible Lectures. Many positive comments were made
concerning the messages brought by Mr. Morton. There have been
several follow-up visits as a result of the Lectures. Members'
attitudes are good: the problems have been more with personal
weaknesses.
GEELONG, VIC--RODNEY DEAN: Quite a few members--men mainly--are
going through quite a bit of soul-searching with regard to Chris
tian growth. It is good to see newsstands opening up--this has
been a tough town to get into.
WOLLONGONG, ACT--RODNEY KING: Y.O.u. is becoming more unified.
Several activities have helped to encourage the teens. We have
conducted several profitable PM visits and "get-to-know-you"
member visits. Wollongong Church is a fine Church but with a
great deal of unemployment. The people are genuine and generous.
