FROM MINISTERIAL SERVICES
Accounting Department to Close for Feast Break
The Accounting Department will be closed October 6-23. Please prepare now any hall rental vouchers, etc. that need to be paid before the Feast, as Accounting must have your vouchers by Friday, September 28th. This means that these requests must be received by Ministerial Services no later than Wednesday, September 26th, the day before the Feast of Trumpets. Following the Feast break, Accounting will need about a week to return to its normal schedule, so please take this into consideration as well.

Comments From Monthly Church Reports
From Australia
PERTH, WA — BOB REGAZZOLI: The number of new contacts increased this month, and PM activity is building up. It was good to hear another message from Mr. Armstrong about world conditions and prophecy. Most of the members are watching world conditions well. We received a call from a major Perth hospital saying how much they appreciated the 30 copies of The PLAIN TRUTH per month being received, and would be happy to double the number and receive 60 copies of YOUTH 84 as well.
SYDNEY (NORTH), NSW — TERRY VILLIERS: Both taped sermons have evoked positive comments from the brethren, with some immediately starting a review of THE INCREDIBLE HUMAN POTENTIAL. Members are continuing to seek counseling on sorting out the priorities in their lives and solving their problems.
TEMORA-WAGGA, NSW — BRUCE DEAN: We had two Ambassador College students in this church area for about seven weeks. They certainly set a good example of what AC is trying to achieve. They joined in local activities and got on well with the whole Church. Also, I think they were good for the young people.
MACKAY, QLD — OREST SOLYMA: Good enthusiasm and results have come due to the waiting room programme. Overall, there are good signs in the Church — extra efforts in the newsstand programme; positive results from Bible study attendance and application.
BUNDABERG, QLD — MARK GULLY: Over the past several months, we have seen a number of people request a visit for the first time. For the most part, they have been genuinely interested in seeking God's way. The Church has been most encouraged to see some new faces appear at services.
BENDIGO, VIC — KARL KARLOV: Two recently added prospective member families are continuing a very high level of involvement and are intending to attend the Feast of Tabernacles. Meanwhile, several very promising new people — not yet PMs — are being visited and are likely to be invited to services soon. This influx of new people is reflected in steadily increasing attendance figures throughout the year so far, and in the attitude of the Church as a whole.
WOLLONGONG, NSW — ROD KING: I spent six days visiting in the Wollongong area after the NSW Ministerial Conference. After the sermon I had given on overcoming (based on notes from the conference), many expressed a readiness to overcome. I have had the closest rapport with the Church since I have been pastoring there.
BALLARAT, VIC — KARL KARLOV: Quality new visits are continuing, with one new person having been invited to Church, and another probably soon. The brethren found Mr. Morton's presentation in Melbourne very encouraging.
CANBERRA, ACT — ROD KING: Everyone was inspired by Mr. Morton's presentation on the newsstand programme. We have had many wanting to help. A meeting held to discuss our goals was very profitable. We plan to have five new sites in Canberra to add to our existing outlets, which distribute 5,500 per month. Feast excitement is beginning, with many people making plans to make this the best Feast ever, both spiritually and physically. There has been a good response to the sermon on conversion I gave using conference notes.
From Asia
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA — YONG CHIN GEE: The Spokesman Club is proving to be a valuable tool for leadership training. The spokesmen are setting better examples and exerting positive influences in the Church.
— Joe Tkach, Ministerial Services
