<TITLE>03. Par 9-11</TITLE>L-9 So we are looking forward for tomorrow night being a great night. And now, the--as I said, I get a salary from my church: one hundred dollars a week. And all other money that's out of the campaigns, goes into the Foundation, and then it's put aside so that it won't be for me, or no one else, it's used for foreign missions. When I get enough money together, that I can go over, I go preach to the heathen, them that don't even know Who Jesus is. And in there we have seen the greatest results, our greatest meetings.
In Durban, South Africa, I seen thirty thousand blanket natives receive Jesus Christ as personal Saviour in one altar call, thirty thousand. Bombay, India, where the Mohammedans and them, it was hard telling, no way to number. There was estimated in the city to attend the meetings, five hundred thousand people. We couldn't even place them nowhere, so many that I had to leave because we could find no ample place to put them. Expecting to go back soon where we go up to New Delhi, where the--the President give us the amphitheater that we can put a million people in it, a outdoor amphitheater, panoramic of mountains. We're expecting great things there.

L-10 And over there to those people who doesn't know, little black boys standing like that, never had a bath in their life, don't know which is right and left hand, would stand with their little tears running down their cheeks to hear one time of a story of a God that loved them. When you're doing that, my friend... I know we support our churches here at home. That's exactly right. But here where we've got big churches on every corner, big fine spires, and everything, and them poor little fellows, Jesus died for them the same as He died for your child and my child. He's just as hungry; he gets just as hungry as our children does; and it's not fair that we have everything, even into glamor, and them poor little fellows never heard the Gospel one time. I think it's our duty to take it... And if you can't do it, the offerings that you give in it in a love offering to me that...

L-11 I want you to know that. I don't know if expenses is not met; I do not take a love offering. And if the expenses is not made, I have to send and borrow the money myself to stand the expenses. We never leave a city owing a penny. That's my record, and if it ever gets to a place where God doesn't sponsor my meetings, and doesn't--doesn't pay it out, then it's time for me to come home and pastor the tabernacle again. I never took a offering in my life. I've always depended on God. I never would in my campaign let people beg, bum, and pull. If the people love God, poor people, they'll--they'll support all they can. And if they can't, then I'll have to--I'll borrow it some other way from some friend of mine or something to pay it off.
And then I... If they have it all paid up, and then free, I get a love offering. I don't even see it. My secretary takes it, and gets it ready, and it's banked, and put into the bank under the name of the Branham Tabernacle at New Albany, Indiana, and there that money cannot be used for nothing else, but for the Kingdom of God, to support foreign missions as I go over to preach. And when I get enough built in there to go, then I take off and go. Now, I believe that's just making the people know that--what it is.
