PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, MARCH 21, 1986'
effort on the part of the Festival Coordinators and other housing
personnel. Please remind the members of God's Church that they, too, have
a part in making the Feast housing program a success. Their part is to
reserve their housing only from the approved list printed in the "Festival
Planner," and to follow the other instructions which are printed in that
publication.
The cooperation we receive from the individual members is a hallmark of
God's Feast, and a great light to all of the communities in which the
Feast is held.
It is also the only way we can continue to successfully
organize the Feast in its present configuration. Please thank the brethÂ
ren for their personal cooperation in the past as you elicit their cooper-
ation for the coming year.
Further developments regarding the Feast will be forthcoming in future
issues of the "Pastor General's Report" and other publications.
We have finalized the cost and itinerary for the Feast of Tabernacles in
China this week, and have mailed an application
to
all who had expressed
interest. Enclosed with this week's "Pastor General's Report" is a spare
copy of the application and cover letter for anyone in your area who may
not have received one and would still like
to
apply.
As we announced
previously, the Festival tour is available to members from the U.S.,
Canada, Australia, New Zealand and English-speaking Europeans.

We were informed this week that Chrysler can not accept any more orders
for the 1986 Dodge Caravans and Plymouth Voyagers. The effective date was
March 11, 1986. If you are ordering a 1986 vehicle, and you desire a
mini-van, please order a GMC, Chevrolet or Ford mini-van as soon as
possible.
