Dear Mr. Tkach:
Just a sincere note of thanks to you for allowing the LCEs to
attend the Refreshing Program. Rita and I were privileged to be
able to attend two years ago and again this past July and it was
truly refreshing. When that last question was answered on that
last day of the course, and we got up to leave, we realized that
it was over and we were going back out into the world--and we
didn't want to gol
But we are back now and trying to let the
local brethren know some of what we have learned and experienced
at God's Headquarters here on earth. We are most appreciative of
these courses and we feel more a part of God's ministry now than
ever before.
William and Rita Pearson
Dear Mr. Tkach:
The opportunity to attend the Refreshing Program recently is very
much appreciated by my wife and me. This was our first visit to
Ambassador College and the Headquarters of God's Work. It was an
experience we will not forget--seeing many old friends, making
new friends, and being instructed by God's chosen servants.
Everyone in every department went out of his way to make our
visit enjoyable. We appreciate Mr. Armstrong establishing this
program and allowing the local church elders to participate.
Please extend our thanks to everyone involved and we hope to re
turn for Refresher #3.
Harvey and Judy Bauman
