Brethren & Co-Workers Letter - January 01, 1970 - Herbert W Armstrong - January 01, 1970

Herbert W Armstrong

I have been delayed, by the pressure of responsibilities, some two or three weeks in sending you the joyous and happy announcement that we had set — officially — the date for ground- breaking and start of actual CONSTRUCTION of the long-hoped-for HOUSE FOR GOD at Pasadena headquarters. I had already announced it to the brethren here — and it brought the biggest and most thunderous applause I had ever heard from our brethren here! But I have just received a very sobering statement from Mr. Albert Portune, Vice President in charge of Financial Affairs and Planning. Last year — a depression year — the first three months' income for God's Work was 13.6% over the first quarter of the preceding year. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
