We have a great burden, too, for the tremendous reaping program that should be done in North America. We have been sending this message out over the air waves for 40 years, and millions are now waiting to be gathered in to our fellowship. Requests are coming from conference administrations and from laymen for public evangelistic crusades to harvest the interests created by the broadcast; this is particularly urgent where the Daily Broadcast has been running for two or three years. We need your help to pay the sal- aries of several evangelists who are waiting to come, if we can extend the calls and be assured of financial support for them. To expand the number of radio stations and launch forth into a wider evangelistic outreach, we really will need a large offering on Sabbath, October 11, and then regular monthly support thereafter. If everyone would just send in something, it would be so very reassuring and helpful. There is a third major project, that of developing a Youth Broadcast with a strong follow-up program. We need to do more for the young people of North America. Elder Douglas Pond has been asked to coordinate this work with all haste. Perhaps you are not aware that the Spanish broadcast in the United States is today experiencing its most rapid growth. Large numbers are accepting the message through the Spanish-language broadcast and its Bible School. But much is yet to be done. Now we need the assurance of support from our members to encompass these projects. Do you know that it requires about $10,000 per working day, or $50,000 per week, to carry on the present program? We must increase this substantially to encompass all that needs to be done. May the Lord bless all of you as you earnestly pray about this and respond gener- ously and sacrificially. Would you please write to us about it? We shall look forward to hearing from you. Thank you so much, and may God bless you richly. On behalf of the 160 Voice of Prophecy staff members: ek-f-diA H.
