PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, JULY 8, 1986
language course here at the office for the students before they leave on
an Ambassador College sponsored European tour. After the tour they will
spend five more weeks in the German-speaking area. Some will be at the
homes of members and others will be helping in the office. I feel that it
is very important to have Ambassador College trained personnel. There are
14 students participating in the program.

FROM THE TREASURER'S OFFICE
June 1986
The first half of 1986 is now over, and the financial picture is good, but
not as good as we had hoped. Our budget, as you may remember, was set at
7 percent this year. We are now right on budget for income at a 7 percent
increase, and the expenses are just barely under that figure. We have had
our ups and downs during the first half of the year, and for a time it did
not appear that we would meet budget; but thankfully we have.
The month of June had an increase of 12.2 percent over last June, and the
Pentecost offering, with an attendance of 4.5 percent more people, was 7.6
percent above last year. These good percentages helped to get us back to
the budget figure.
The tithe of the Festival tithe is lower than expected this year. This is
hard to understand, since other tithes and offerings are near budget.
The last half of the year is now receiving our attention. In looking at
last year for comparison, we had a high month of July with 17.1 percent
increase. Also, December last year was an unusually high month of 41.8
percent increase. This was primarily the result of the two urgent letters
Mr. Armstrong sent to the members and co-workers that month. In order to
"make budget" during the last half of this year, we will have to top these
figures and the others of last year by an average of 7 percent!
