Also, you ar� going to be receiving a survey to elicit your sug
gestions on successful programs you may have had in your areas to
stimulate Church growth. Since member drain obviously blunts growth,
this survey will also seek information to help us understand who is
O
leaving the Church and why.
Many exciting things are happening here at HQ, which we will be
reporting to you week by week. We want to keep you as fully informed
as possible, and we will do our utmost to help �ou understand the
steps we are taking, and the full reasons behind them.

WAYNE COLE TO ASSIST BOTH ARMSTRONGS Mr. C. Wayne Cole, who has
served in numerous key positions since his graduation from AC in 1954
(most recently as director of the Canadian work), has been asked by
Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong to serve him as his personal assistant in
Pasadena. "I'll be acting as a liaison for Mr. Armstrong in co
ordinating and helping carry through with things Mr. Armstrong wants
done," Mr. Cole said. Mr. Ted Armstrong subsequently asked Mr. Cole
to also serve on the newly created ministerial management team
established to assist GTA in his direction of the ministry.

acquaintances and meet new radio program managers. Hopefully, this
will lead to more favorable times and stations for the World Tomorrow

higher class outlets. However, we would like to caution our areas
of distribution against making any conunitments which would require
substantial increases in shipment of magazines and or display racks
without first making sure that we can supply the necessary materials.

As I have mentioned in recent issues of Pastor's Report, we are in
the process of expanding into new airports on a regular basis (four
,aore are scheduled to open in the immediate future) . This, coupled
with the intense enthusiasm of those helping with the Plain Truth
distribution, has caused us to use up our supply of display equipment
much faster than we had anticipated. We now have a backlog of orders
for almost every type of display rack. This means that delivery of
C;
racks will be delayed approximately 3 to 4 weeks. We would like
any areas that have racks or magazines that they are not presently
using to get in contact with us inunediately. Hopefully we will be
