Legacy Letter June 2011

22 July 2017 – Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, FOURTH OF JULY IN THAILAND – Thailand does not have an independence day, since the kingdom of Thailand never broke away from anyone. But my family and I are Americans living in Thailand, so we decided to have a small celebration of July Fourth. I broke out my father’s memorial flag that was given to my mother at my father’s funeral, which included a 21-gun salute by the local VFW. We also had fire crackers the grandkids set off and enjoyed special snacks…

Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong met King Bhumibol Adulyadej the first time in 1971. At that time, the king told him about a new project to educate the ethnic hill tribes that inhabited the highland border region of northern Thailand. These hill tribes grew opium and sold it to Chinese middle-men as their only cash crop. The king wanted to teach them to grow other crops, such as peaches and vegetables, to replace the opium they grew. This would be more profitable for the hill tribes and much less destructive to the upland forests and humanity as a whole. The king also wanted to give their children an education but had very few trained teachers.

Hosea 8:7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up. Dear Friends and Fellow laborers, The Fall Holy Days are upon us! In a few days we will observe the Feast of Trumpets which symbolically heralds the advent of the Messiah’s return to this earth. It is a time of great turmoil and war that the Bible calls the day of the Lord.

7 September 2020 – Dear Brethren and Fellow Laborers, As in our last letter, we will again start out by saying THANK YOU to all of you for your continued love, unceasing prayers, and donations during this worldwide time of trouble. Our thanks and gratitude is first and foremost! We thank the Almighty God for you, our beloved brethren and fellow laborers!
