PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, FEBRUARY 10, 1984
Finally, it is interesting to note that 88% of French-speaking members live
in areas where they can attend services led by an ordained minister. Also,
81% of La PURE VERITE subscribers, 90% of French IGN subscribers and 91% of
CC students live in areas in which we have stationed an ordained minister
and a Church which meets regularly for Sabbath services.
TRANSPORTATION TO SEP CAMP AT ORR
Probably the greatest concern parents have in sending their
children off to S.E.P. is the trip to and from camp. If enough
individuals show an interest there will be a local church-owned
bus providing transportation from the Seattle-Tacoma, Washington
area to and from Orr. It will make planned stops along the route
to pick up the various campers. This trip will be made available
for the third session only. For further details please contact
Mr. Paul Shumway at (206)922-2068 before April 1, 1984.
Comments From Monthly Church Reports
From the United States
RIVERSIDE, CA--TERRY MATTSON:
Many have felt a concentrated
attempt by Satan to try to break them with increased pressures
from their employers and unconverted family members. Many have
expressed how much more they realize they need the Church and to
further come out of the world.
FORT WORTH, TX--BOB SMITH: Mr. Armstrong's letter and Dr. Hoeh's
visit have prompted a renewed awareness of the precarious times
in which we live, and the need to avoid becoming "choked...and
unfruitful" by the cares of the world.
TOLEDO, OH--GEORGE KACKOS:
It is encouraging to see members
growing closer to God, the ministry and each other through their
trials. They are seeing where changes need to be made, especial
ly the need to draw closer to God. As one man said, "I know I
need to get back to prayer, Bible study and meditation." How
true!
JOHNSTOWN, PA--ART DYER:
Members are very concerned with the
state of the world and are following current events. They seem
to feel more pressure to shape up. They are looking to Head
quarters and Mr. Armstrong for leadership.
FORT SMITH, AR--JOHN ELLIOTT: Responsiveness to authority at all
levels within the Church has increased dramatically over the past
two years here. No longer are people as hard to motivate, nor do
they hold back with reservations as they once did.
SAN BERNARDINO, CA--JAMES PEOPLES:
The influence of Mr. Arm
strong . and his effectiveness in helping mold and shape the
