Some church areas will be asked to cut the number of magazines they
receive each month. You will all receive a letter detailing the new
program which we feel will increase our response. That's what the
main purpose of the program is after all--to get a response.

GOOD NEWS/WORLDWIDE NEWS
Now that the receivership has been lifted and the turmoil created by
it has died down somewhat, we will try to get The Worldwide News back
on our regular schedule and re-establish second class mailing. We
have sent all issues since the beginning of this crisis to co-workers
in addition to members and hope that this has helped them understand
the.events of the past eight weeks.
Our next issue is scheduled for printing on March 12, with members
receiving that issue during the following two weeks by second class
mailing. Ho�efully we will be able to maintain a regular biweekly
printing schedule after that.
If any of you have material you would like to submit to The Worldwide
News, please send it as soon as possible after the event or well
before our next printing date so we can plan space for it.
The Good News magazine will also continue to. be printed on schedule
with no foreseeable changes. We welcome your input on both publica­
tions.
The Worldwide News wishes to thank all Pastors who have responded to
our pen-pal, prayer request questionnaire. We are hoping for more
responses before we begin tabulating the results, so there is still
time for you to return your questionnaire if you haven't already done
so.
We should point out that two questions on the questionnaire have
answers that don't make any sense...but you know that already.
Instead of "yes
, No
, Not sure
, " to the question
"WOULD YOU PREFER THAT PRAYER REQUESTS BE HANDLED IN THE LOCAL
CHURCH OR IN THE PAGES OF THE WN?" the answers were meant to be
"Locally
,
vm
,
Both- " And to our question "HOW
SPECIFIC SHOULD A PRAYER REQUEST BE IN THE PAPER?" the answers were
originally intended to be "General
, More descriptive
Name only
"
----
We are embarrassed to no end and hope you will overlook this over­
sight on our part. Perhaps you would like to answer a question we
are asking ourselves just now: "WHAT HAPPENED?" You blew it
,
Cheer up, everybody makes mistakes
, Don't let it happen again
What questionnaire?

Y.o.u. UPDATE
S.E.P. Camp this year is still on. By cutting the staff by 30% and
raising the tuition to $300 per session we can still operate much as
usual.
