Mr. Garland Snuffer and the Radio Production staff have recently mailed out a set of four 60-minute audio cassette tapes to all English-speaking churches worldwide. These tapes contain eight of Mr. Armstrong's 30-minute radio programs (two programs per tape) on the subject of "The True Church." These are actual radio programs aired in times past. We have sent you one set for each 50 heads of household. (For example: If there are approximately 350 heads of household in your church area, you would have received seven sets.)
These cassettes are to be put in your church library so the brethren can have an opportunity to listen to them. Hopefully this will be a viable replacement for the radio program in the United States and a special plus for the English-speaking brethren in Europe, South Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific. We are planning to send out three or four more sets of additional radio programs during 1985.
Video Tape of Mr. Armstrong's Bible Study
Mr. Armstrong has also instructed the Television Department to send out a video cassette presentation of his Bible study given in Pasadena in early December. This was the first Bible study Mr. Armstrong gave upon returning from his November Far East trip. Mr. Armstrong showed the Ambassador Television production he presented to King Bhumibol of Thailand, entitled "More Than a Monarch."
The videotape consists of three parts: 1) Mr. Armstrong's introductory comments; 2) the production "More Than a Monarch"; and 3) Mr. Armstrong's concluding remarks (total length: one hour and 20 minutes). Mr. Armstrong has instructed that this should be presented to the local congregation only as a Bible study. Rather than rent expensive video projection equipment, please utilize a VCR tape player and monitors. Pastors of larger church areas may want to hold several smaller Bible studies in order to keep costs down. Technical instructions for VCR tape player and monitor setup will be included with the video cassette.
In the United States, we will be sending all pastors a VHS videotape. If you need a format other than VHS, i.e. BETA or 3/4", please contact Linda Scobee at Television as soon as possible. We are planning to distribute the tapes the week of January 21st. We will be contacting all Regional Directors for setting up video tape distribution in their areas.
