Also, Mr. Gerald Waterhouse is back on the speaking circuit and we've got the mail to prove it. Only one problem though, we can't keep track of him. Dozens of letters come in every month from all over the country telling us he "just passed through." We know he can't be everywhere at once, but from looking at the letters he just might be. His visits are very much appreciated as these letters show.

Healings

Just came home yesterday after a massive heart attack. I keep asking my wife, Joan, "Why is God so good to me?" And I can't find the answer.

In the past 18 months, diabetes was healed, and now a very bad heart attack. God's goodness is beyond understanding.

William E. Westcott (Pelsor, AR)

For the past two years, I was very sick with cancer and unable to work. In September 1978 I was given three months to live.

The tumor in my stomach was 11 inches in diameter and my right kidney was crushed. I had lost 45 pounds. But with a change of diet and God's help I have survived.

In the beginning of January 1977, when this cancer was first diagnosed, I refused to go into the hospital for treatment. I changed my diet. I was doing fine and I held my own until September 1978. When I could no longer stand the pain, with coaxing from my family, I was admitted to the hospital.

Because of the tumor's huge size, the only thing the doctors could do was treat it with radiation and chemotherapy. They could not operate. I was anointed by a minister in the Springfield, Massachusetts church. The radiation treatments began. The doctors could not tell me how many treatments I would have to endure. One night before the 19th treatment and during the 19th treatment, I prayed to God. "Father, you know more about radiation than any doctor could ever know. If it be your will, please help me to get well for I have not learned enough about your ways. I have only been in your Church a very short time. I would like some time to learn more."

When the day came for the 20th treatment, the doctors found, after checking me, that the tumor had disappeared. After 3 x-rays and 4 ultrasound tests, they found no tumors, and my right kidney was back to normal as if nothing ever happened. To date, July 3, 1979, I have gained back 40 pounds and no longer am I under a doctor's care. The cancer is gone. The blood count is O.K.

I received the anointed cloth and used it on a Thursday. On the Saturday of the same week, I could find no lumps in my breast. I am going to see the doctor this Wednesday to make sure as I had been scheduled for surgery. The lumps were most uncomfortable. I feel better now than I have for some time. Thank you for your prayers on my behalf. I continue to pray for you and the Work, and the soon coming of Christ!

Comments About Mr. Waterhouse

My wife and I went to hear Mr. Gerald Waterhouse in Baltimore and Wilmington, Delaware. We really enjoyed him! He backs you up 100% and makes no bones about it.

Mr. & Mrs. Ralph D. Hall (Port Deposit, MD)

It was Tuesday evening when we heard Mr. Waterhouse speak to us about the soon-coming Kingdom of God and the preparation for it that the Church of God is doing. It is rather beautiful and interesting the way God works toward His people. At last we will have a place of safety and a nucleus of very well-trained people to spread the government of God at Jesus Christ's second coming. Glory be to God for the accomplishment we as a whole have done in recapturing the true values of life and putting them into practice. Mr. Waterhouse held us in thrilling attention for two and a half hours, and I tell you, he gave the message out!

Mr. & Mrs. Nilo Azeredo (Elizabeth, NJ)

Mr. Waterhouse spoke to the Long Island Church at Bible study this past Wednesday. It is so good to be reviewed once again on the near future and God's soon-coming Kingdom. He will speak again this Sabbath and we are very anxious to hear more.

Mrs. Edwin B. Schipf (Copiague, NY)

We are very thankful that Mr. Gerald Waterhouse came to our area to help our understanding. Mr. Waterhouse is loyal to God's Work and His apostle, Mr. H. W. Armstrong.

Mr. & Mrs. Dennis Dean (Cleveland, OH)

We here in the Augusta Church heard Mr. Gerald Waterhouse and he gave us the news of the very time we are living in, and what happened in the state of California. God is fulfilling His great plan here on earth for, the coming of God's Kingdom on earth.

Amusing Anecdote

I saw this in the National Inquirer titled, "In The Beginning," and I hope you get as a great a kick out of it as I did.

"To find out what really happened when the earth was created engineers spent weeks gathering information, checking and rechecking it, and feeding it into the computer. The great moment came: all was complete, everybody gathered around, a button was pressed, the great computer spun into action. Relays opened and closed, lights flashed and bells rang, and finally a typed message emerged: See Genesis 1:1."
