He will continue to p.c:each at headquarters and in Southern
California churches or outlying churches as he can; and I have asked
that as an adjunct to his ongoing studies, he not only continue to
teach a very important course to the sabbatical ministers at the
graduate level in speech, but as he can conduct seminars in connec
tion with outlying . church visits on that same subject so as to
effectively work with many of you men in the field in improving your
own speech techniques.
This will become extremely important,
especially in the light of the new program for church growth and
development I will present to the area coordinators in the next few
daysl
In view of the tremendous new strides I hope to see us taking in
the months and the years ahead (revolutionary changes in media, as
well as a change in approach toward church growth), I feel the time
has come for me to face the fact that I do not any further require
the offices of a top evangelist in a box underneath me to function as
an intermediary between myself and the ministry at large.
I have committed myself to at least one church visit per month,
for example -- and this allows me to get together with somewhere
between 10 or 20 ministers at each function.

in the sense of seeing and being seen briefly)- at the Feast of
Tabernacles.

size to never fail to have one annual conference of some aggregate or
another.
For the next year, we will have a conference for area
coordinators and senior pastors only, and the following year a wider
conference including all pastors of churches and/or others.
Wives
will be invited as well.
I have much more to say that I will say verbally and you can all
hear on tape --be looking for it.

GTA TO ATTEND N.A.B. CONVENTION
Preparations are now underway
for the National Association of Broadcasters convention, to be

and the National Association of Television Program Executives
involves mostly television programming.
