A Bridge Around the World - John A Halford & Rod Matthews - August 1980

John A Halford & Rod Matthews

The island nation of Tonga sits astride the International Date Line in the South Pacific Ocean. When the sun sets Wednesday, September 24, the 25 Tongan members of the Worldwide Church of God will be the first people in the world to begin observing the 1980 Feast of Tabernacles. But only the first! A few minutes later, the sun will set over Fiji, New Zealand and the Solomon Islands, and God's people will be gathering for the first evening services in those countries. Next, members will begin meeting in Australia, where there are nine different Feast sites this year. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
