Garner Ted Armstrong and his group, Including Mr. Leslie McCullough, director of the International Division, are headed home after their tour of New Zealand, Australia and the Philippines. In addition to visiting the Work's principal offices in that area of the world, Mr. GTA and Mr. McCullough addressed the church in Hawaii and more than 90 percent of the members in Australia and New Zealand. Although his trip to the Philippines was short, a total of 1,051 brethren and co-workers filled to overflowing the Meraloo Auditorium to hear Mr. Armstrong speak. The Philippine office staff, ministers, elders and deacons joined the special guests in the home of Colin Adair for dinner and entertainment. The outpouring of warmth and enthusiasm was evident everywhere and moved Mr. Armstrong visibly.
In his sermons to the various congregations, Mr. Armstrong brought news of the Work from headquarters in Pasadena and spoke on world conditions and prophecy, especially in connection with Egyptian President Sadats visit to Israel and the future of the Middle Eastern situation. Many of the brethren had to travel great distances in order to be at some of the combined meetings but, in addition to stimulating sermons, they participated in question-and-answer sessions during which many fine questions were asked concerning aspects of the Work, doctrine, and prophecy.
