PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, NOVEMBER 21, 1984
PAGE 5
general feeling is that time is short and we need to make posi­
tive personal changes to get ready for what is ahead.
SPRINGFIELD, MA--LYLE WELTY: People were really excited to go to
the Feast and even more excited upon returning. Seeing Mr. Arm­
strong's live address the first day of the Feast and seeing him
in the films were highlights of the Feast.
MANSFIELD, OH--JIM HAEFFELE: We had brethren attending the Feast
in Britain, Italy, Israel, China, Jamaica, Canada and almost
every U.S. site. It is great to see the worldwide unity in God's
Church as these people return home and have nothing but positive
feedback about the sermons and sermonettes they heard around.the
world.
MERIDIAN, MS--PAUL KURTS:
People continue to grow closer to­
gether as a family unit in the Church. This is a wonderful group
to work with. More are becoming involved with all aspects of
local Church activities. More are participating in The PLAIN
TRUTH Newsstand Program and the Waiting Room Program.
NORTON, VA/KINGSPORT, TN--GEORGE ELKINS: Mr. and Mrs. Harold
Jackson's visit to these Churches was without a doubt a highlight
of the year! I certainly appreciate Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Tkach
sending senior men in the Church to make these visits with the
local pastors and their congregations. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson cer­
tainly do hold up the hands of God's Apostle!
Their example
should motivate all of us here to strive to do a better job of
that in the coming months and years. Their visits to these two
churches truly inspired us all. Thank you again for sending them
to visit us!
IOWA CITY, IA--STEVE NUTZMAN: God healed a 12-year-old boy who
cut two fingers while playing.
After anointing, one finger's
broken bone was healed and the bone chips disappeared!
The
doctors who had X-rayed the finger couldn't understand what had
happened. They said they had never seen fingers damaged that
badly heal so quickly.
--Joe Tkach, Ministerial Services
UPDATE FROM MAIL PROCESSING
A Big "Thank You" to Members
Many sincere thanks once again to the members for their conscientious ef­
forts in preparing their Holy Day offerings. The attention given to prop­
erly filling out checks and envelopes helped us immensely to process the
offerings. Since this is the busiest time of the year at MPC, it also aids
us greatly when discrepancies and other processing problems are kept to a
minimum. In past years, many valuable man-hours have been spent solving
such difficulties, which are usually the result of inattention.
We would also like to express our thanks to the more than 900 members who
volunteered to help with offerings at the U.S. Feast sites.
