PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, JUNE 10, 1986
In order to accomplish this mammoth task,
we hired additional on-call
personnel and kept the machines running 12 hours a day for three weeks
straight.
By mailing the semiannual letter in-house instead of using an
outside vendor we were able to realize a number of advantages:
1) Over
$20,000 was saved; 2) A higher quality of work was maintained than would have
been done on the outside; and 3) The confidentiality of our subscription list
was insured.
You may want to remind members to continue praying for the success of the
semiannual letter in bringing in more co-workers to aid in God's Work.
Top Ten Telecasts The ten telecasts which have pulled the highest responses
in the Work's history have been aired since January of this year. (This does
not, of course, take into account programs that would have had a higher
response if there had not been major preemptions.) They are listed below:
