PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, JANUARY 31, 1986
PAGE 3
Mr. Michael Feazell will continue serving as personal assistant to me in
the Pastor General's Office.
Seat Belts Having just read Dean May's statements about seat belts that
appear later in this issue, I want to add some comments. From this day
forward, I _g requiring all of God's minister� to .B.il. seat belts
a n yt i m e
.ib.e:£
..ll.! driving � riding in automobiles.
Further, I am
requiring all ministers and wives to see that their children are belted
in when riding, and that approved restraint systems are used for their
children under 5 years. This is for your own safety, and further, for
the purpose of setting the .x.i.9h.t. example for God's people and for the
community. In many states ttTs" the law, and God commands us to �
� law when it does not interfere with Bis law.
God tells us not to tempt Him. To be negligent about seat belts is doing
just that--tempting God. Let's be wise in taking the proper precautions
for the safety of ourselves, our wives and our children.
** TOBE READ IN ALL U.S. AND CANADIAN CHURCHES **
I am pleased to announce that we will be conducting United
States summer camps in both Big Sandy, Texas, and Orr,
Minnesota, again this year.
Plans are to include more
youngsters than in previous years by running two full th"ree=
week sessions at both locations.
These camps will be staffed by Ambassador College faculty
members and students, as well as Imperial School faculty
members, under the camp directorship of Dr. Kermit Nelson. A
limited number of field ministers will provide additional
leadership and example to the program. Campers will have the
opportunity to learn true values of God's way of life through
a wide range of activities designed to build their skills,
experience and confidence.
Letters will be mailed to all members in the near future
describing the programs in more detail and giving information
on dates, tuition fees (which will remain unchanged from last
year>, transportation and on how to sponsor a camper. Camper
appl!cations will be mailed to all u.s. and Canadian Church
Pastors in early March.
