PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, JANUARY 24, 1986
The Church's farming program in Ghana, started at a time of drought and
famine, is doing extremely well. The land is very workable and produc­
tive.
The farm produces pineapples, paw paw, peanuts, beans, sweet
potatoes, cassava, tomatoes, corn, avocados, plantain Ca type of green
banana), yams and palm nuts. Chickens and goats are raised. The pro­
ject is a tremendous blessing to our members, enabling them to supple­
ment their meager incomes with food and revenue from their efforts on
the land.
--Joseph w. Tkach, Director of Church Administration

With the death of Mr. Herbert w. Armstrong, Pastor
General Joseph w. Tkach has approved the following staff box changes in
the publications: Mr. Armstrong's name will continue to appear at the
top of the staff boxes as Founder of the publications. Mr. Tkach is now
Publisher of all the publications of God's Church. His name will appear
directly under Mr. Armstrong's.

has designated me as editor of "The Good News," "Youth 86" and "The
worldwide News." Those men who are now assistant managing editors will
become the managing editors of those three publications.

Mr. Armstrong's funeral will be covered in the
January 27 edition of "The worldwide News." We will also run a feature
about Mr. Tkach as Mr. Armstrong's chosen successor. In that issue will
also be the year-end regional reports from the Church's regional offices
and some Pasadena departments. A 12-page tribute to Mr. Armstrong is
being prepared by the "Worldwide News" staff. This special full-color
issue, featuring articles written by Mr. Tkach and evangelists and long­
time associates of Mr. Armstrong, will be published February 10.
•p1ain Truth• Update
Because we are so far along in production, staff
box changes will first appear in the April edition of "The Plain Truth."
A brief announcement of the death of Mr. Armstrong will also preface his
"Personal." Mr. Tkach's first "Personal" will appear in the May "Plain
Truth."
A special article by Mr. Dibar Apartian about Mr. Armstrong
will appear in that issue as well.
•Good News• Tribute
In "The Good News" for May we plan a tribute
edition to Mr. Armstrong. A photograph of Mr. Armstrong will appear on
the cover. Mr. Tkach's first "Personal" will appear as well. Photos of
Mr. Armstrong's visits with world leaders, along with tributes from them
at his death, will be included.
We also plan to run one of Mr.
Armstrong's most inspiring articles, "This Is the Life! Real Abundant
Living."
Many other photographs showing Mr. Armstrong bringing the
