Percent Increase in New Co-workers
We're happy to report that new co-worker growth is on a steady increase.
Through the first five months of 1985, 10,788 people have become co
workers. This is 21% higher than last year's figure for the same period.
A person becomes a co-worker by making two donations within a six-month
period.
These people voluntarily decide to support the work of God's
Church as a result of their exposure to Mr. Armstrong's inspiring
semiannual letters, as well as the other publications and programs of God's
Church. The following pie chart indicates the leading sources of new co
worker contributions:

you have written is in the hands of the printers is tremendously
exciting. My wife and I can hardly wait! The response to your TV
broadcasts is also exciting. We are enclosing an offering in re
