majority of transfer decisions were made when the area coordinators
were here in March. The few remaining decisions are the last-minute,
unforseen needs that arise in any planning program. Also, some
changes may be occasioned by th� College relocation.
O
The way transfers are w9rked out for outgoing sabbatical men is fairly
simple but may be of interest to you, especially to.those incoming men
who will be going out next year. The sabbatical men supply us with
six choices: the three most desired places and the three least desired
places. A matrix is built from these lists which places each man as
near the top of his preferred list as possible. It's not the perfect
approach, but it seems to be sufficient until something better is
thought of.
In-field transfers are developed in a less scientific manner but are
sometimes more fun, especially when two area coordinators want the
same man. Even though some moves may not seem to be perfect gems of
wisdom to a man being transferred, we want to assure you that no
transfer is recommended. lightly. The final criteria is always, "What
will be best for the Church?"

CHURCH GROWTH SERMON SUGGESTIONS A very sincere "hello" to all you
fellow ministers and your wives. It's exciting to be working again
with you in our mutual service to the people of God in His Church,
and our fellowman in reaching out with the beautiful message Christ
brought -- the "pearl of great price"
the hope of eternal life --
the Kingdom of God!
Mr. Ted Armstrong's transcript of the Area Coordinators Meeting of
March 20th explaining the role of the local pastor, urging him to be
deeply involved in fulfilling the GREAT COM.�ISSION in both the feeding
of the flock as well as "planting the seed" which builds the flock,
presents a_very exciting challenge.
We have had meetings with Ted to discuss details following his mail
ing of the transcript to all Pastors of Churches. It is fully
realized that you need to have specifics in order to fulfill this
objective. Believe me, such instruction, devotion, and assistance
will� given. With our combined efforts, prayers and devltion to God
and His Work, we are confident we can do a powerful job even more
effectively.
What better time could there be than now during this Passover season
to preach some moving sermons about Jesus Christ, His Church, His
message, our destiny, our hope -- messages about the need to "reap the
harvest in human life" that may be awaiting our care in reaching out
to them in our respective communities.
