TWI Treasurer Explains Where They Are Spending Some Of Their Money
On official TWI letter-head:
March/April 1995
Dear Way Believers:
God bless you in Christ's powerful name.
The year for our theme of God's Call to Abundance is almost over. Our
believing for you is that when the theme is over, you will continue to
live in God's abundance.
When God gave His only begotten Son, He gave us His abundance. It's
everlasting if we choose to enjoy it, and it doesn't cost us near what
it cost God; so live it each day and share it with others.
In the March/April 1994 issue of The Way Magazine, there was an article
about the 67 acres we purchased (with your abundance) north of the
Outreach Services Center and Founders Hall. We wrote about a pond
project to protect the Founders Hall garden level being flooded. It
will, however, be more than just a pond. We have also put in a gravel
parking area north of Founders Hall, the same size as the parking lot
west of Founders Hall. Then west of the gravel lot we will plant grass
all the way to Shelby Road with a nice gravel road off Shelby. This
will give us a commuter parking area for the Rock of Ages, the same size
as the RV parking lot north of the OSC. The remaining land is being
leveled and will be grassed in for future expansion.
These improvements will reduce the vehicle and foot traffic on Wierwille
Road during the Rock of Ages, because the commuters can walk to The Way
Big Top without having to ride shuttles from the Ambassador Farm. The
best part of the project is that Founders Hall will be dry, and there
will be no more ruined belongings and carpet. Praise God.
The new video cameras are installed in the Victor Paul Wierwille Word
Over The World Auditorium, and they are working very well. Great
picture! They are the best available, and why not? God's Word should
have the best. You will be very proud and blessed when you see the new
classes Rev. Martindale is producing. January 1 was the first Sunday
Night Service the new equipment was used, and Mr. Joe Coulter shared a
lot of details and background. The information is on tape #1776 if you
want to hear more. Thank you for giving of your abundance so that we
could purchase these, and they are paid for.
Rev. Martindale wrote an Our Times article in the November/ December
1994 issue of The Way Magazine entitled "Suspension of th WOW Program."
Here is a little update: At this writing, 18 who were signed up to go
WOW have been revealed as Homos. That's over 12%! It sure was right to
cancel the program. The havoc these 18 would have caused our good young
people in the families could have been tragic. It's also interesting to
me the 24 of those who signed up to go WOW have now left the areas they
assigned themselves to, showing they were very weak. They would have
been the first ones the homos worked on, because devil spirits always go
for weakness first. God sure is watching over this ministry as we wall
and do His will. Thank you for your prayers and believing that we can
get the ministry cleaned up so we can again have a WOW program.
Rev. Martindale also wrote to you in his 52nd. anniversary letter about
the homosexuality purge in the ministry, and he encouraged you to
confront individual situations. We are very blessed with the way you
have jumped in with both feet, right on top of the adversary. God will
bless our ministry by the actions taken, but now it's time to move with
outreach and to advance His Word.
We want to thank you for the great year we have had and for living God's
Word and giving so that the Word can move all over the world. We have
recieved a number of great letters from you about how the teachings on
finances have helped you and your families. The Word is sure true, and
it works when we apply it in our walks.
This is the time people in the world think about Easter and see if they
can dress nicer than the neighbors. They forget the truth of the Word,
but I'm thankful we know and live the truth. Have a blessed time
reading Jesus Christ Our Passover and sharing about the resurrection.
Looking forward to hearing about all the healing that will take place in
your Twigs and your families as you do communion. See you at the Rock!
Living in God's Abundance,
Howard R. Allen
