PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, September 5, 1979
Page 10
Thank you so very much for letting God use you to set the Church and
College back on the right track. Every article you write is like a
breath of fresh air; like wine poured on an infected wound, stinging,
yet cleaning and healing at the same time.
We've been in the Church 19 years and just floated along with the times,
becoming more and more confused the past 10 years as everything we
thought we knew and understood was shot through with holes. Now the
basic truths are renewed and the truth is simple and beautiful as it
was in the beginning. Thank you again and again.
--Mr. & Mrs. Larry Shallenbeyer (Mishawaka, IN)
We are behind you and the Work 100%! So are all of the brethren whom
we know. We have been excited about how strong your sermons have come
out for our need to prepare oursleves as the bride of Christ for His
return. Keep up the good work!
--Michael Osborne (Brandon, MS)
I believe this is the end time and that we all need more time on our
knees before God. Thank God for the correction He gives through you.
God's will is to make His Church ready for Christ's return. God help
us to see that and be fervent and diligent in trying to draw closer
to His power.
--Hasadore Hall, Jr. (Lexington, KY)
Your article in the recent GOOD NEWS carried a tremendously powerful
impact to me personally ("Now Christ Moves Swiftly to Make Church
Ready"). Somehow God, through that article, made me feel my own re
sponsibility to get the spots and wrinkles and blemishes out of me, in
a way I had never understood before."
Thank you very much for more blessings than I can count--but especially
for that article and your letters."
--Mrs. NettieHerzig (Pasadena, CA)
INTERNATIONAL NEWS
The Caribbean--Hurricane Update
Last week Hurricane "David," considered by weathermen the most severe
hurricane of the century in that area, swirled in from the Atlantic and cut
a swath of damage the length of the Caribbean.
Many of our members undoubtedly have faced one of the grimest weeks of
their lives, but on the other hand, God's hand has so evidently been seen
in the protection afforded them during the danger.
In Barbados the hurricane headed directly at the island where Mr. Bass had
assembled the Caribbean ministers for a mini-conference. John Halford was
attending en route from a series of church leadership and service seminars
in Trinadad. At the last moment, hurricane "David" veered away and just
battered the islands with strong winds. However, it then passed over
northern Martinique and southern Dominica.
