UPDATE: THE GOSPEL TO THE WORLD, Whirlwind Activity Winds up the Year - Brian Knowles - April 1975

Brian Knowles

For Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong the closing months of 1974 were quite busy - and profitable. Old friends were revisited and new friends and contacts were established in a series of meetings in the Middle East and the Far East. After observing the Feast of Tabernacles with the Church membership in the United States and Canada at their local festival sites, Mr. Armstrong returned to Pasadena for a few days of work and rest. Then he departed for Japan where he hosted a dinner for their Imperial Highnesses, Prince and Princesses Mikasa. Prince Mikasa personally thanked Mr. Armstrong for his efforts on behalf of the Prince's forthcoming visit to Egypt (which took place at the end of January). He also plans to visit Ambassador College later this year. From Japan, Mr. Armstrong flew to Egypt after stops in Manila, the Philippines, and Bangkok, Thailand. In Cairo, Mr. Armstrong spoke to a distinguished group of government officials and educators (on October 30). Over 100 people attended, including four ministers of the government. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
