PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, AUGUST 31, 1984
PAGE 5
QUEENS, NY--EARL WILLIAMS:
The brethren were stirred and in
spired by Mr. Armstrong's powerful message on prophecy.
Many
were moved to pray more earnestly for Mr. Armstrong's eyesight.
All of us are thankful that God's inspiration upon him is getting
stronger and stronger as he begins his 93rd year.
TACOMA, WA--MEL DAHLGREN: God's hand was clearly visible at Camp
Tanglewood this year--from diverting storms to His general pro
tection. One highlight was the Bible Bowl. The campers' general
knowledge of the Bible this year far overshadowed that of only a
couple of years ago. The fruits of family Bible study, as well as
the YES and YOU programs, are truly visible.
DULUTH, MN--BILL GORDON:
In conjunction with Mr. Armstrong's
proclaiming world peace in the World Tomorrow, it was interesting
to notice at our recent Church campout how the children were
building bridges, roads, tunnels, etc. in the sandbox, displaying
peace and cooperation, as opposed to playing with tanks, sol
diers, and guns, as is so commonly seen in the world.
JON�SBORO, AR--CLYDE KILOUGH: We had seven teens go to the first
session of the SEP, which represented over one-third of our total
youth group. It is amazing what three weeks there can do for a
youngster--they are so impressionable at that age and the overall
effect of camp is very positive.
All parents noted positive
changes in their children.
ROANOKE, VA--ROBERT PERSKY:
I am having good results with the
YOU this summer.
Almost all the teens are involved in the
scheduled activities. Enthusiasm is high. As participation and
involvement increases, the influence of the Church upon the lives
of the teens becomes greater and greater.
CONCORD, NH--KEN WILLIAMS:
Our children have an uphill battle
all the way to qualify as leaders in the World Tomorrow. It's ev
ident that we need to give more of ourselves to them. I'm encour
aging the brethren to pray that God will help us turn our hearts
more fully to our children.
From the Caribbean
HAMILTON, BERMUDA--CECIL PULLEY: The local TV stations are still
not broadcasting the program regularly, so there is still a fam
ine of the word here in Bermuda.
Newsstand distribution is
picking up, but it still has not translated into many new sub
scriptions. Bermudians seem content to just pick up a copy each
month from the stand. PM activity is increasing with a few good
prospects.
