result. The PCD mail flow has also been higher than usual, probably re
flecting in part the last Newsletter. We believe that one of the reasons
for the success of this experiment was the low-key way in which it was
handled, leaving the onus on the individual to respond.

HISTORIC OUTPOURING OF SUPPORT!
Although the bad publicity, negative comments, and the receivership
crisis have had an impact on our members and co-workers, MOST are still
standing behind Mr. Armstrong, helping "hold up his hands." We wanted to
share this positive side of the coin with you, as it is reflected in our
mail.
The Mail Analysis section of MPC reports that in all its years of reading
and gathering comments from the mail, it has never seen such a tremendous
outpouring of support as has come in since January 1979! Thousands and
thousands of letters have been received from members, co-workers, and
donors in support of Mr. Herbert Armstrong and the Work of God.
Below ar8 just a few representative examples of the kinds of letters we
are receiving:
Mr. Armstrong, we are 100% behind you. We know that this is God's
true Church. We are praying for you and the Work. Even our five
year-old daughter prays for you and the Work. Thank you for opening
our eyes.

So happy to hear Mr. Armstrong again on the radio on half-hour pro�rams.
I always missed those so much during the time of the five minute /broad-�
casts. Happy, Mr. Armstrong, to hear that you are able to travel
abroad again, and that it will soon be possible for you to go to China.
The doors are surely being opened now. I pray for you and Mr. Rader
and all the faithful workers. I am sure, without doubts, that you are
doing the Work of God. May God grant you strength to go on.
--C.T., Elkville, IL
I cannot put into mere words how I feel listening to you each Sunday
morning at 11:30 a.m. on Channel 12 in our area. It is so good to
hear the true Word of God being preached again.

I usually don't include a letter when mailing my tithe. I don't think
I fully realize the importance of mailing you a letter of support
along with my tithe. I often just send a check, thinking that that
shows you that I am backing you and supporting God's Work. But that
doesn't tell you that I am continually praying for you, your health,
for the ministry, for the Church, for the effectiveness of the means
by which the Church spreads the gospel, and for the corning Kingdom of
God...I strongly believe that you are God's ONLY apostle here on
earth and that the Worldwide Church of God (and no other churches)
is the true Church of God....

Overall, the mail comments present an attitude of RENEWED ENTHUSIASM in
the Church (and among the co-workers) over the new direction the Work is
