PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, DECEMBER 30, 1983
TO BE READ IN U.S. AND CANADIAN CHURCHES
1984 Feast of Tabernacles in China
We have received hundreds of applications for the 1984
Feast of Tabernacles in China. It is exciting to see
everyone's enthusiasm. In fact, the applications have
exceeded our housing capacity.
In the next few weeks we will finalize the itineraries
for each tour, and work out the number of members we
can accept. We plan to notify everyone of his or her
status within three or four weeks.

NASHVILLE, TN--JAMES FRIDDLE:
The Y.O.U. Bible studies and
Y.E.S. lessons are a vital part of teaching the youth and parents
of the Church. One can certainly see the parents and children
being drawn together through these studies. Our thanks go to Mr.
Herbert W. Armstrong and all those involved in the Y.E.S. lessons
and Y.o.u. functions.
CHICO-EUREKA, CA--MARC SEGALL:
A number of the brethren are
still unemployed. I decided to call the personnel director for
this county to get more information about the Job Partnership
Training Act (the new program which replaced C.E.T.A.).
The
director was very impressed that a church pastor would be so
willing to help his unemployed members. He went above and beyond
to give me helpful information and to open doors for these
brethren to receive jobs and/or training.
KANSAS CITY (SOUTH), KS--BRUCE GORE: There seems to be a lot of
enthusiasm for God's Church among the brethren. Mr. Armstrong's
leadership and world events are keeping people on the alert!
BINGHAMTON, NY--BRITTON TAYLOR: PM activity remains very strong.
I received more visit requests from Pasadena for one month than
at any other time. PMs constantly remark how impressed they are
with the content of the telecast and Mr. Armstrong's delivery.
TACOMA, WA--MEL DAHLGREN: God is blessing us with an outstanding
number of new PMs who are coming right along toward baptism.
Frankly, it is quite exciting to see the new ones, only half a
year old, making "unheard of" spiritual progress, headway and
giant strides in the right direction!
