“I am listening to the Gaweylon programme regularly each day,” says Sonam from a Tibetan camp in south India. “Thank you for the literature you have sent me. Your health tracts and CDs are very helpful. Thank you for this valuable service for our community.” 
The Gaweylon (Good News) radio programme is broadcast in the Tibetan language on short wave daily, reaching people in Tibet, India, Nepal and Bhutan. Listeners contact the radio staff through letters, emails, SMS messages, phone calls, personal visits and through their website. “God is touching hearts and we are greatly encouraged as we receive feedback from our audience,” says Anil Alfred, Director of the Gaweylon Centre.
Sangpo (a listener) says: “Please send me video CDs on the Good News of Jesus and the film on the life of Jesus. I want to show the film to others.”
The Gaweylon staff have produced many health tracts in Tibetan/English to increase health awareness. “We regularly distribute these in the community,” says Anil. “We also have a health feature, Bible story and Tibetan cultural topic each day in our radio programme. Lobsang is an elderly monk in south India. He is paralysed due to a stroke. We are in touch with him through his sister who looks after him. He is reading the Bible and listening to the CDs that he requested. Please pray that God will touch him and open his eyes to see the truth.”
“I have been a listener to your programme for the past 15 years,” writes Gaden Kyi. “I am a teacher in a Tibetan school. Thank you for the many useful things for life that you share in the programme. My best wishes are with you all.” 
Praise and prayers
Anil continues: “Praise and thank God for the many monks, teachers, Army servicemen, students, farmers and others who are listening to the programmes and requesting literature. Thank God for the many who are distributing and sharing our literature with others. These help build bridges of friendship with the community.” 
“We praise God that his Spirit is touching lives. New Tibetan believers and those who are seeking for the truth face a lot of opposition and rejection from family, friends and community. We hear reports of persecution and rejection from many places in India. They need the support of other Christians and the church. Sadly in many places they are left alone. It has been our privilege to share the Gospel with Tibetans for the past 22 years by radio and through follow-up materials. So many others are also faithfully sowing the Good News. Please pray that the seeds planted will bear much fruit.”
