Herbert W. Armstrong founded the Worldwide Church of God in the late 1930s, as well as Ambassador College in 1946, and was an early pioneer of radio and tele-evangelism, originally taking to the airwaves in the 1930s from Eugene, Oregon.
On Tuesday, May 18, more than 430 ministers of the Worldwide Church of God from around the globe convened for a major three-day ministerial conference in Ambassador Auditorium, Pasadena, California. The more than 18 hours in meetings were characterized by Garner Ted Armstrong as signaling "new beginnings" for the Church. The meetings began with a surprise announcement: the ordination of two evangelists.

The rest of the morning session was then taken up with addresses by the Armstrongs.
