PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, DECEMBER 30, 1983
RICHMOND, VA--KENNETH GIESE: Our PT stand in the Richmond Air
port is doing very well. It seems almost impossible to keep it
stocked!
From Canada
VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA--BILL RABEY:
Brethren were very
excited about the PLAIN TRUTH lecture held at the University of
Victoria. It was the talk of the Church for many days. Indeed it
was the highlight of the month and one of the highlights of the
year for them.
We are all very happy with the results of the
lecture.
LONDON, ONTARIO--RICHARD WILDING: We have had seven to eight new
people attend services as a result of the PLAIN TRUTH lectures.
The Church continues to be stable with no general widespread
problems.
The two tapes on marriage were much appreciated,
especially since, as elsewhere, they dealt with the number one
personal problem of brethren.
ST. JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND--DAVID L. SHERIDAN: The two taped ser
mons on family relations were very well received.
New visit
requests continue at a high rate. Even though Christmas draws
nearer, most seem willing to reject it totally.
The superb
Ambassador College ENVOY had members looking over the copies long
after services.
WESTLOCK, ALBERTA--ROBERT J. MILLMAN: The economy continues to
cycle downward in this area causing members to scramble for what
ever odd jobs might come available. Hardships do test faith and
endurance, and members are bearing up well. Everyone continues
to remember Mr. Herbert
w.
Armstrong. His example of endurance
and faithfulness becomes more important as the years go by and
the times become more trying.
We are experiencing slow but
stable growth.
From the Caribbean
NASSAU, BAHAMAS--KINGSLEY
o.
MATHER: God is blessing His Church
in the Bahamas. PM activity is on the increase.
We have re
ceived a number of requests for visits since the Feast. Sunday,
November 27 was a special day for our brethren in Abaco:
the
first regular Bible study was held with seven adults and nine
children present.
PORT OF SPAIN, TRINIDAD--VICTOR SIMPSON: Requests for visits are
still running high. It is actually very challenging now to keep
up with the first-time requests and visits as well as the follow
up visiting. There seem to be many people who have been exposed
to the truth for a long time who are now beginning to respond.
GEORGETOWN, GUYANA--PAUL KRAUTMANN: Despite the worsening eco
nomic situation, members are still cheerful and trusting in God
to provide their needs.
