PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, APRIL 11, 1985
the end of the session he was so impressed with the music and con
duct of our people that he ordered a set of tapes for himself! He
felt our music was better to skate to than "gospel rock" and
would be a welcome addition to his collection.
FLORENCE, AL--LAWSON J. TUCK: One of our members recently met
with the manager of a Quick Mart store in the Tennessee area af
ter trying to do so four other times.
To his amazement, he
discovered that he and the manager had been childhood neighbors.
After looking at the PT, the manager was surprised it was free of
charge. He recommended we use the three-pouch racks. Another
interesting fact came to light. He manages not just one Quick
Mart, but nineteen in the surrounding area! He asked his secre
tary to type a letter of authorization to put the PT in all the
stores under his management.
This member related he learned
through experience the value of persistence, prayer and relying
on God to open the doors for The PLAIN TRUTH.
RAPID CITY, SD--STEVE BUCHANAN: Nearly 100% of motel owners con
tacted in housing negotiations mentioned how much they like our
members. The members should be made aware of how important their
example is during the Feast. Their conduct is perhaps the big
gest single reason the Church is able to negotiate for low rates.
In this way everyone in the Church is a part of the "festival
team."
AMBASSADOR COLLEGE UPDATE
(Pasadena Campus)
--Joseph Tkach, Ministerial Services
Both Ambassador College campuses are now in the midst of the spring break.
The usual beehive of activity on the Pasadena campus is scheduled to resume
next Wednesday, April 17th--when the College will again be back in session.
We have now completed the process of reviewing the applications of the up
coming two-year (A.A. and A.S.) graduates of Big Sandy and Pasadena who
wish to continue in the four-year Bachelor of Arts program. Before making
the final selections, college officials of the two campuses got together in
order to make certain that we were making selections based on the same
standards. We finally accepted a total of 166 students from both campuses
into the Bachelor of Arts program at Pasadena.
Those AC students who have been chosen to go on into _the four-year program
were informed just before the spring break. We let it be known, however,
that we hope to be able to accept others from among the two-year graduates,
perhaps a year or two later.
I hope all of you ministers and your families had a blessed and happy Feast
of Unleavened Bread. My wife and I were privileged to spend the Passover
and the first day of Unleavened Bread with God's people in the Shreveport,
Louisiana area. We very much enjoyed the fellowship with the ministers and
brethren there. As usual, it was good to see God's people looking toward
Headquarters, and it is always good to see those who lead in prayer include
Mr. Armstrong in their prayers--that God will continue to guide, strength
en, protect and bless him as he faithfully leads God's Church forward to
ward the Kingdom of God.
