NE AFRICA SURVEY Bill and Paula went out with their 3-year-old son Jared. In the countryside, little Jared walked in to people’s houses and started talking to them. People loved it. Bill says: “As we came in they asked us why we had come. We talked about the radio, laughed and joked, and then asked if we could tell them a spiritual story.

They said, ‘Wait, let us call everyone in the family to listen. Come, sit down, this new friend, Bill wants to tell us a story.’ In several houses, after we told the story, people said, ‘Well, we never heard anything like this...what must we do?’” Pray for those who readily entered into repentance, that Bill and Paul can safely return to the villages to help them to grow.

NE AFRICA PROGRAMMING Hector and his family listen to the Way of Righteousness radio programme. He says: “Yes, we came across it one night while we were looking for the local news.” They listen together as a family and they love the programme.

The family says: “Until we listened to this programme, we knew nothing about Christ. We only knew a few cultural stories.” One of the radio follow-up workers told them Jesus Christ’s story from creation to the resurrection and then told the story of the lost son. Pray for Hector and all the new believers in his household.

AFGHANISTAN DARI Our Dari ministry partner reports: “As soon as I heard your voice, my heart was happy,” says a listener whose sick family member we prayed for recently had been healed. Another had heard that the Bible prophesies about another prophet. We responded by explaining that the Holy Spirit was prophesied and has already come! The listener was thankful for the explanation and checked the recent change in frequency before hanging up.”

Pray for these listeners that they will continue to listen and also share what they are learning with others.

CENTRAL ASIA WEBSITE “I was talking with my friends and was surprised to hear about your website from them, because I did not even know that they knew about it. Suddenly they started talking about your web radio. It’s amazing. Many of them listen to your radio and find a comfort for their hearts. I just wanted to tell you this news.”

“Thank you for your service on the website. We can get much useful stuff for our spiritual growth. Your radio programmes give a warm feeling to our hearts during these cold days.”

CENTRAL ASIA HEART COMPANION “Your radio is pretty famous among our community church. When I say community I do not mean the whole community. I am talking about our meeting of our neighbours. There are 3 families in our meetings. It is amazing that we were just 4 people in the beginning. But now we are 16.

We try to listen to your programmes each day. As far as I know, you put your programmes also on the website. It is good because many young people now spend their time on the internet.”

FM IN IRAQ During a live morning programme our FM team discussed the issue of corruption. Yosef says: “Nada, one of our daily listeners called. She told us that she encouraged her uncle to listen to our station and share his knowledge. His contribution that day resonated with many listeners.”

Pray for the FM team as they partner with local service providers. “To understand the real problems of our community and partner with those who are working to meet needs,” says Yosef. “We want to give practical resolutions to their issues.”
