PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, AUGUST 10, 1984
in God's Church. Response to all Church activities--Bible stud
ies, Spokesman and Graduate Clubs, Y.O.U. programmes, fund
raisers--is excellent.
MELBOURNE (NORTH), VIC--GAVIN CULLEN:
There has been a sudden
jump in the numbers and the quality of PMs. Last month we visited
ten new people--from the North (3), West (3) and Geelong (4)-
more than I visited in the North for the whole of last year. A
number have already contacted me back for another visit within a
week or two. There doesn't seem to be a set pattern as to the
type of people--a general cross-section of society--except they
all show a great desire to obey God and come to services.
BALLARAT, VIC--KARL KARLOV: Newsstand distribution has more than
tripled over the past 12 months--to the current level of 4,300
per month. Members' attitude and involvement in this are very
pleasing to see. In just the first days I've been back from the
Refreshing Program, three definite new visit requests came in,
and two more possibilities. Our existing PMs are asking about
baptism. Going on their fruits, several are likely to be bap
tised soon.
PERTH, WA--BOB REGAZZOLI: We finally had a breakthrough in Ger
aldton with four newsstands opening up within a month of the
telecast starting in the area. The PT waiting room programme has
been highly successful with 1,070 new waiting rooms added in
Perth. A very dedicated group of members did an excellent job.
Plans are now underway to expand the programme to the country
areas.
SYDNEY (NORTH), NSW--TERRY VILLIERS: Enthusiasm is running high
for the growth of the work of God's Church after Mr. Morton's
presentation. Currently we are forging ahead with the waiting
room programme pending openings for newsstands. We have more
than enough volunteers on the list to service stands throughout
Sydney North.
Several ex-members contacted this month wanted to come back to
church. We have also had very positive feedback from both par
ents and teens with regard to W.E.P. (Winter Educational Pro
gramme). All were very thrilled with the experience.
LAKE MOOGERAH, QLD--DAVID NOLLER: The-members are enjoying meet
ing at the W.E.P. camp for services and Bible studies. Those who
live in Ipswich particularly enjoy leaving the city and coming
out into the beautiful country environment. Also, I met a man
who signed out Mr. Armstrong's book THE INCREDIBLE HUMAN POTEN
TIAL from a local library. After reading it he asked for a visit.
From Asia
JOHORE BAHRU, MALAYSIA--YONG CHIN GEE: More requests for visits
are coming from PT readers in Singapore. Among those contacted,
many faced the test regarding the Sabbath. They all expressed
interest in attending Church services. A few PMs are counseling
for baptism and hopefully will be baptised before long.
