Greetings Mr. Tkach!
Cindy and I would like to thank the staff and you for a very fine
Refreshing Program. The fellowship, the spiritual feasting and

on campus wanted to help and to serve. It is easy to see that
more of God's Spirit is working and is prevailing at the center

invaluable Refreshing Program and for his leadership under
Christ.

United States or travel here to work or study. Invariably, some come in
contact with the Work, usually through the telecast or the pages of The
PLAIN TRUTH.
Some are already familiar with us through experiences in
their home countries.
These immigrants and visitors, for some reason, seem to possess a special
child-like appreciation and enthusiasm for the Work's programs. A few, in-
