GO EAST! --And Grow Up with the Golden Triangle!--W.S. No.12.    DO1088   1/82

         1. IF THE WAR WERE TO HAPPEN TOMORROW & the U.S. & Europe were destroyed, we would lose half of the Family. I don't think we have much time left. I think, in fact, God at this point is waiting for us, for them to get out & for us to get prepared, which we're not, yet. About half the Family will end up in that small area in Southern South America, because they're going to have to leave the Caribbean entirely, since that's going to be entirely overrun by Revolutionaries at the very moment of the first strike.
         2. WE HOPE THAT MORE & MORE WE'LL BE GOING SOUTHWARD & particularly now towards the East, the Southeast direction, toward India, Southeast Asia & the East Indies, Japan, etc. But we're going to have to get in there now, we're going to have to push in to get more people to get in there to minister to the hundreds of millions of people who are located in the East, in this big triangle stretching from India on the Northwest down to Australia & New Zealand on the South, & back up to Japan on the Northeast.
         3. ALREADY 30% OF THE FAMILY ARE IN SOUTH AMERICA OR THE SOUTHWEST, & 20% of the Family are in the Southeast. That's half the Family--50%. I'm hoping that more than half the Family before the war comes will have gotten out of the dangerous North, & will have arrived preferably in the Southeast, where they're far more needed, where there are hundreds of millions of more people.
         4. IT'S A DIFFICULT, WIDE-SPREAD, FAR-FLUNG FIELD with lots of water & long distances, & dear Keda has been trying to keep up with it for a long time & has done a valiant, monumental task in flying from place to place, great distances, & trying to shepherdess her sheep. I consider her the head of this whole area, this whole triangle of the Far East, the Southeast as we could call it perhaps. When it happens I would consider Faithy to be the spiritual leader of South America, & Keda of the Golden Triangle of the East! GB'M!
         5. SO THERE ARE TWO BIG AREAS, PTL! Considering that the Family will be much more concentrated & closer to each other, there's the possibility, the probability of still being able to produce materials & distribute them. The distances are not too great. And I believe there'll still be ships, there'll still be some transportation, perhaps even still some communication by telephone or telegraph or the postal systems or whatever. In the Southern areas which have been untouched by war there's no reason for there to be any great disruption of communication or transportation, although there'll be much tighter control.
         6. SO IT MAY BE A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT, BUT I'M EXPECTING TO KEEP GOING as I said before, even if we have to go back to personal courier as they did in the days of Apostle Paul. I believe the Lord's going to help some form of communication survive. The Church has never been without some form of communication down through History. They were able to survive & help each other & inform each other & inspire each other. And there were places to flee from heavy persecution to other places where there was not so much persecution.
         7. SO I BELIEVE THAT GOD IS GOING TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO CONTINUE TO MINISTER. But we want to be in such a position when it happens that we will be prepared for it & it will be possible. The first move was South, & the next move is to get the Southern areas organised with sufficient leadership & perpetual financial help so that they will be able to continue even without our help if necessary.
         8. OUR FELLOWSHIPS RIGHT NOW ARE PREPARING THE FOUNDATION, laying the groundwork, the basics to make this possible, so that every area will already be in touch with each other & communication with each other, from a very small scale of l or 2 Homes to a city-wide Fellowship, a county-wide or state-wide Fellowship, province-wide Fellowship, nation-wide Fellowships, & even international Fellowships in this area in South America.
         9. THIS SOUTHWEST PART OF THE WORLD I CONSIDER WILL BE SELF-SUFFICIENT. It has already got everything it needs to do the job, to carry on without the rest of the World if necessary. Now, the big Southeast area--this gigantic triangle comparatively speaking, on the other side of the World, completely half-way around the World--this is where we have the least Family, only 2O% of the Family now--& if the war happens tomorrow it'll be less than half of what's left of the Family.
         10. AND HERE ARE THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS, five times as many people in this triangle here in Asia! Whereas, even if you concentrate all the people in South America in this triangle there would only be 3OO million there. There are l5OO million here! There are 5 times as many souls to be saved in the East. And yet only a fifth as much Family! Think of it! And today, right now, for example there are 7O times as much Family in South America as in India alone, in proportion to the population.--So what is the neediest area? Where do we need to go? What area do we need to help & encourage & lead & inspire & push & recruit for & insist that the Family come to that area?
         11. WE HAVE NOT PUSHED THIS AREA AS MUCH AS WE SHOULD. I'm ashamed to say, & I'll confess it. May God forgive me for being so slow to see the picture as I should have. That I didn't wake up sooner before so many of these sheep went astray the wrong direction. But maybe some of'm'll be needed somewhere there, I don't know.
         12. ANYWAY, FOR GOD'S SAKE, WE DON'T WANT ANYBODY ELSE GOING TO SOUTH AMERICA--PERIOD! It's got enough Family already. Too many! We need to shift some of the South American Family clear over here halfway around the World to Southeast Asia in this area, where there are 5 times as many people to be reached with the Gospel & 5 times as many souls to be won & where they are seeming to become more receptive & responsive all the time.--Thank God He's beginning to wake us up!
         13. RIGHT NOW AT THE TOP OF THE LIST IS INDIA where we still have good fruit that has remained, has kept going for 5 to lO years some of them, continued to witness even though totally neglected & on their own, almost leaderless, so little leadership. God is now having to raise up new, fresh leadership completely. We need to find 'em & put 'em in charge & help 'em all we can, support 'em all we can, push 'em all we can, furnish 'em with all the guidance & leadership we can.
         14. SO OUR FAMILY SHOULD BE GOING TO THE SOUTHEAST, SOUTHEAST ASIA, OR THIS SOUTHEAST TRIANGLE that we've been speaking of, including India & its surrounding countries & Indonesia & its surrounding countries, Southeast Asia, Philippines--most of this is very poor, especially India & some of the East Indies. Of course Australia we're not even counting because I don't consider that a mission field.
         15. BUT THESE FIELDS ARE SO POOR, THEY NEED MORE SUPPORT THAN THE RICHER FIELDS. By comparison even South America looks rich and well able to support itself. So here in the Southeast--India, Southeast Asia & the Islands--is where the financial need is going to be. We need people-power here, personnel, man-power. And we need money-power here, we need funds to help finance them here. They're going to need help to get there & to stay there.
         16. SO GET HOME SUPPORT & GET IT ALL & GET ALL YOU CAN, all while you still can get it before they're gone, & take it with you & invest it there where it'll be well-invested & reap billions of souls, God willing--let's hope at least millions for the Kingdom of God. At least reach them thru the message. And they should take as much materials as they can, equipment, because it's a destitute area concerning equipment of any kind that could be useful, office equipment, video equipment, camera equipment, musical equipment, whatever.
         17. SO FOR GOD'S SAKE, GO TO THE SOUTHEAST, ASIA & ITS ENVIRONS, BUT FOR YOUR OWN SAKE BRING PLENTY OF MONEY! And be prepared to have to make long visa trips over water, expensive, & short stays. It's a difficult field, & there're all kinds of reasons why not too many of the Family have gone there already--not even the Australians who live there. But you've gotta go there just the same. Just be sure you have home support.--OK? Tks! GBY!
