David C. Pack to Appear on The History Channel – Nov. 11, 2009, 9:00 PM (EST): The Pastor General of The Restored Church of God will appear on The History Channel in a 12-part series titled The Nostradamus Effect. Airing Wednesdays at 9:00 PM Eastern Time, the series addresses a broad spectrum of popular ideas and beliefs about prophecy and the “end of the world.”

The episode (#9) in which Mr. Pack’s interview excerpts appear, titled “Satan’s Army,” premieres November 11. It will then be rerun four times before the next episode.

The History Channel is available to over 200 million households in over 70 countries and in 20 languages. It attracts millions of viewers in the U.S. alone and this year is enjoying its best-ever fall ratings. This series has helped spike the channel’s ratings to its highest ever September, and the highest ever third quarter. (The Nostradamus Effect is likely to appear on the network’s international channels within the next several months.)

The channel’s website, www.history.com, is promoting the series on its home page and on an additional page dedicated to the program. The channel will release every episode on DVD, and each is also available through iTunes.

The World to Come Now on YouTube: We are pleased to announce that The World to Come is available on YouTube. Since 40 percent of all Internet videos are viewed on YouTube (2 of every 5!), hundreds of millions will soon be exposed to what hundreds of thousands are already watching.

Behind the Work 2009: Viewed by RCG members around the world during the 2009 Feast of Tabernacles, the film Behind the Work 2009 – God’s Work in the Video Age provides an inside look into the all-important Work of the Church of God. In the 21st century, advances in technology and communication (such as television and the Internet) have allowed God’s servants to reach unprecedented numbers with the gospel message. This 55-minute film tells the story of how the Church uses the Internet, and now video, to reach millions around the globe through its websites.

Eye-Opening Sermon: Presented by Mr. David Pack, “Zechariah 3—‘Joshua’ Identified” presents clear, thorough answers to questions that have long perplexed ministers and members of God’s Church. The Bible always interprets itself. Many scriptures, with careful analysis and no ambiguity, answer the following questions, among others:

• Who is “Joshua the high priest” in the book of Zechariah?

• What is this man’s role?

• Does Joshua connect to Zerubbabel’s identity?

• Do the Two Witnesses connect with either?

• Does this prophecy carry meaning for God’s Work today?

• What message does it bring to God’s people, individually?

• What ramifications might it have for the whole world?

This extraordinary, ground-breaking message—never before understood!—will permanently change your thinking! You must hear it all. Any doubt will disappear.

Second Volume Available: We have posted Volume Two of The Authorized Biography of David C. Pack, which contains 32 chapters and 70 pages of photographs and images.

Volume Two picks up where Volume One left off: It describes Mr. Pack’s final years in the Worldwide Church of God, when the apostasy was in full steam and men thought to be pillars of truth crumbled under pressure—his helping spiritually confused brethren come out of doctrinal chaos—struggling to wake up a splinter ministry that would only hold fast to “some things”—the invaluable hands-on business experience gained after inheriting a corporation—the dramatic events that led to establishing The Restored Church of God—and Mr. Pack’s “Oregon years” of lesson-learning, while rewriting Mr. Armstrong’s literature, as well as many other books and articles specifically for brethren in the final Church era, building a trained ministry, and restoring God’s college and the thriving, ever-growing Work that continues today!

(Editor’s note: At the end of July, the first three chapters and 10 pages of photos in Volume Two will be placed at the end of Volume One. This will take place for printing purposes, to make the volumes equal in length.)

Expanded Fulltime Ministry: The Restored Church of God is experiencing unprecedented growth in membership! To address an ever-growing need to effectively serve God’s rapidly expanding flock, beginning September 1 a number of ministers will be hired and transferred across the United States and other parts of the world. By the end of 2010, there will be as many as 30-plus trained fulltime ministers in place. Maps below show the location of these pastorates across the globe.
