In the words of TEAM mi ssionary Victor Springer: "What has amazed me a~out the work of PTL was God 's wonderful timing of the campaigns. In China PTL made its great push just before the closing of that great nation, while in Japan and Korea the Scripture invasions took place just after the doors were thrown wide open to the gospel , whenmany hearts So it was 1n Africa; so it is in South America Pray for these men, and share \v1th themthe task of getting God's Word rnto the hands and hearts of yet unreachedmillions were ready to hear."
