PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, NOVEMBER 18, 1986
PAGE 3
Thanks for your prayers.
Remember each other and all at
Headquarters. Remind the brethren to remember their brothers and sisters
in other parts of the world.
The new column in "The Worldwide News,"
"From Our Scattered Brethren," can be of help in that regard.
With love, in Jesus' name,
P.S.
It is now Tuesday evening after the service in Guadalajara.
I
wanted to add that I felt tonight's sermon was the � inspired I have
ever given! And it seemed the devil didn't like that, because the power
went out in the meeting room during the sermon for about 10 minutes. The
hotel management could not explain the power failure. It affected only
our room and none of their control panels indicated any problem. But we
carried on in near total darkness without the P.A. system, Mr. Pablo
Dimakis, pastor of the Guadalajara and Tepic churches, translating for me.
After about 10 minutes, the power returned, just as unexplained as it had
left. It certainly had the reverse effect from what the devil would have
wanted, though. There was an overwhelming spirit of unity among all the
brethren present and, as I said, I felt the sermon was the most inspired I
have ever given. But please don't forget to pray for these church visits!
I'll tell you about the rest of the trip next issue.

As I write, the Church Administration staff is busily preparing for the
Regional Directors' Conference which convenes in Pasadena on November 21.
We are all very much looking forward to having the regional directors and
various of their staff members with us at Headquarters for a few days.
The schedule is packed with meetings and discussions and we expect it to
be very profitable.
By the way, we r�ceived notice during the Feast of Tabernacles that both
Mr. McCullough and Mr. Fahey received their visas. They will be taking up
their respective assignments before the end of the year. This approval
came very shortly after we requested your prayers. Thanks again.
It is also budget preparation time again and Mr. Neff and his team will
have the opportunity to discuss regional budgets for 1987 with the
directors and their business managers.
Mr. Tkach will kick off the
conference and also host the regional directors and their wives at
luncheons in the Herbert
w.
Armstrong Memorial Ball.
Speaking of the budget, the Work has several major needs on the horizon
and I'm sure Mr. Tkach would appreciate your prayers that Christ will
