Surprising OVERSEAS REPORT - Albert J Portune - July 1960

Albert J Portune

The same Gospel that Jesus Christ preached is now reaching deep into Africa, the Philippines and around the world. Here is a surprising report from Mr. Garner Ted Armstrong's office - nerve center of the English-language foreign work - on recent developments overseas. SEVERAL months ago a surprising report reached headquarters in Pasadena from a minister on the Island of Mindanao in the Philippines. This energetic man had been listening to The World Tomorrow Program and was asking to receive The Plain Truth and some booklets. His mind was opened to see that Christ's Church must be a LIVING CHURCH - full of drive and zeal - and a Church that is carrying out the commission of preaching the Gospel to the whole world as a witness (Matt. 24:14). He felt something was missing and vitally wrong with the Church he was serving. He felt there was lethargy and lack of real purpose. He saw in the dynamic, pulsating articles in The Plain Truth and in the moving, action-provoking programs of The World Tomorrow, that here was the fire, the purpose, the truth, and the Spirit of the true Church of God. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
