PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, MARCH 23, 1984
LAFAYETTE, IN--DAN FRICKE:
Mr. Armstrong's sermon on unity was
much appreciated.
The local Church congregation here is
solidified behind Mr. Armstrong in doing God's work. The Church
is more cohesive and unified now than ever before. On another
subject--the magazines are more impressive and helpful than ever.
The efforts of all of you at Headquarters is really appreciated.
ROSEBURG, OR--LEONARD SCHREIBER: In the past, members have often
voiced how the holy days just crept up on them.
Thanks to the
good articles that come out long before the holy day they
address, many have commented that they are preparing now for
Passover and the Days of Unleavened Bread.
ROANOKE, VA--ROBERT PERSKY:
Brethren are still experiencing
numerous trials. The trials are of the type to "wear you down,"
but the brethren are turning to God and growing in faith, loyalty
and character. As a result of Mr. Armstrong's tapes, telecasts
and broadcasts, brethren are growing in strength and excitement
as they see and hear Mr. Armstrong proclaim the truth to the
world.
AKRON, OH--BILL JAHNS:
The public Bible lecture has shown me
that there are many more listeners than we realize now getting
the witness from the telecast and PT distribution program. This
was the largest number of PMs I had ever seen at a lecture. The
new PT distribution programs and Mr. Armstrong's strong telecasts
are getting the message across.
OLYMPIA, WA--MEL DAHLGREN:
A number of members became dis
couraged after losing several of our better PT newsstand outlets
all at once.
This was especially hard felt because the "Good
Neighbor Board" has not opened up in this area yet.
After
praying and fasting, the members went out and established 36 new
outlets in one day! This is an increase of over 50% in newsstand
locations!
All involved have no doubt whatsoever that God does
hear our earnest prayers.
Needless to say, this turnabout has
greatly encouraged the Church area.
HOUSTON (EAST), TX--DAVID JOHNSON: Several good quality PMs have
recently contacted us. Most have been listening to Mr. Armstrong
and reading the literature long enough to be fairly well
grounded. It's encouraging to see such strong growth potential.
We should be baptizing between eight and ten people before Pass
over.
GRAND RAPIDS, MI--BILL MILLER: We experienced a week of persecu
tion and interesting comments on a radio talk show recently. A
number in Holland, Michigan don't like Mr. Armstrong being on
radio and TV and made their hostility known. We appreciated the
free publicity!
FT. LAUDERDALE, FL--RANDALL KOBERNAT:
We had quite a miracle
here. On our Y.O.U. campout we were on a hayride when an 11� year
old boy fell off the trailer with 28 people aboard, and it ran
over him. He was left in the middle of the road bleeding from his
