Appreciation for the Second Ministerial Refreshing Program
Dear Mr. Tkach:
My wife and I want to thank Mr. Herbert Armstrong, yourself and
all the other men who taught us during the Refreshing Program of
the first part of May. We found it very inspiring and very help
ful. It was an atmosphere similar to the Feast of Tabernacles.
We felt cut off from this evil world and we enjoyed the peace, the
loving and caring atmosphere which exists at Ambassador College.
For both my wife and me, it was our first time ever to visit God's
College. It was a great education in itself just to be on campus
with all those friendly students and staff. We were very im
pressed with the orderliness of everything, truly reflecting
God's character. We were also very much awed by the magnitude of
God's Work and by the way God is using all of you men to accom
plish it. We had not really grasped the magnitude of this great
Workl
Being at the Refreshing Program certainly helped us to
understand it better.
We were very appreciative and very inspired by the manner in
which people at Headquarters support Mr. Herbert Armstrong and
the office of God's apostle. This program gave us much that we
can share with the brethren. We are thankful to our Great God who
has made all of this possible because our being there was made
possible by miraculous events where we could very definitely see
God's hand. Everything just fell into place!
Again thank you very much!
We pray daily for Mr. Herbert
Armstrong and the Work as we know that this is the most important
activity going on on earth at this time.

Dear Mr. Tkach:
We would like to let you know how valuable we found the seven
teenth session of the Refreshing Program. It is hard to describe
how exciting it is for those of us from faraway places to come
into Pasadena and "experience

Headquarters. Being at Ambassador
College during graduation week was a special privilege this time
which we thoroughly enjoyed.
The classes were absorbing with a wealth of material to be used
personally and to be passed on to the brethren. We appreciated
the opportunity of hearing from Mr. Armstrong and we would like
to convey our thanks to the many people involved in making the
program so worthwhile. It is clear to see the immense value of
the Refreshing Program to God's Work at this end time.
