PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, JUNE 10, 1983
PAGE 6
Mr. Armstrong's telecast--which started in mid-April--has en
thused the people. They have also responded well to the PT news
stand programme in Corrimal.
BRISBANE (SOUTH), QLD--JOHN McLEAN:
New families have assimi
lated well into the congregation. Already they have established
a reputation for involvement and friendliness, and have expressed
the opinion that this is one of the friendliest churches they
have been in.
From South Africa
JOHANNESBURG--ANDRE VAN BELKUM: I feel happier about the general
state of the Church. There is no doubt that a sorting-out pro
cess is taking place. The result is that the Church is healthier
and more solid than ever.
SOWETO--PETROS MANZINGANA: A number of members have had problems
with employment. Salaries have been reduced for several members.
Some coming out of high school have problems getting jobs. In
most cases situations and circumstances improve for the better
after taking proper counsel.
From the United States
GRAND ISLAND, NE--DON HOOSER:
Members have been very pleased
with the accomplishments of Mr. Armstrong's trips. Many have ex
pressed deep, compassionate concern over the trials Mr. Armstrong
is having. I have heard of several voluntarily fasting and pray
ing about them.
SANTA ROSA, CA--A. W. DOCKEN:
The brethren are showing very
positive attitudes. God has provided several with excellent jobs
after being laid off for a variety of reasons. Members appreci
ate strong telecasts and Mr. Armstrong's latest letter.
DES MOINES, IA--ROBERT CLONINGER: New visit requests this month
were the highest I can recall in years--most PMs are well
grounded in the truth and definitely interested in attending ser
vices and being baptized.
Also, we have had six people come
back, some having quit up to nine years ago.
Three started
attending again this month. It is evident God doesn't give up on
us.
CINCINNATI (NORTH), OH--ROBERT LEAGUE: PM activity is increas
ing.
The brethren really appreciated Mr. Waterhouse's sermon.
It was very powerful and supportive of Mr. Armstrong and Head
quarters.
--Joe Tkach, Ministerial Services
FROM MAIL PROCESSING
Subscribers Drawn to God's Truth After Many Years
It is encouraging to see the excitement and thankfulness of those to whom
God is beginning to reveal His truths. In some cases they feel they have
reached the end of a long search now that they have come in contact with
