PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, OCTOBER 18, 198!>
For some time now, we had been wondering whether Mr. Paul Brown would
get an extension of his H-3 Work Permit. We are happy to report that
he has been given an eight-month extension. This means that he can
stay until April, 1986.
On the first Sunday in September the world Tomorrow began to be seen
on both channels of the Trinidad and Tobago Television System. When
Channel 2/13 broadcast the World Tomorrow, we received 56 responses,
more. than twice the number received on the other channel 9/14. On the
second Sunday, there were 114 responses from the new channel!
We were recently notified by WSJU, which is the television station in
San Juan over which we air the program, that we would have to accept a
change of time for the· broadcast. We went from 8:00 a.m. Sunday to
7:00 a.m. the same morning. This earlier time seems to be far less
popular. Instead of the 70 calls or so which we usually receive each
month, this month we received only 31. We are hoping to improve our
time when we can. One benefit, which is perhaps somewhat hidden, is
that we may now be reaching a completely different audience.
Overall, television in the Caribbean has been successful. There are
several small markets which are not responding as we would hope, but
we have had very good responses considering the minuscule size of the
markets.
So far we have recei ved 5,833 responses from our nine
television stations.

ever." Our staff is working feverishly to process the stacks of copy
and thousands of photographs sent to us from around the world.
Festi val reports and photographs will be featured in the Nov. 4 issue.
February PT Copy is also coming in for the February "Plain Truth."

new book "Mystery of the Ages."
We will also run part 2 of Mr.
Armstrong's booklet "The Bible--Superstition or Authority?•••and Can
You Prove It?" That will conclude that booklet, which is good because
Mr. Armstrong's new booklet "Are We in the Last Days?" is scheduled
for March.

automatically to Church members.

brethren to read this new material. Even though the title may be the
