Urgent Prayer Request for Myanmar

May 6, 2008--Please uphold in prayer TWR listeners and those in Myanmar who produce programming for the Mission in the wake of the cyclone that devastated part of that country over the weekend. The TWR-Asia office is stepping up efforts to communicate and liaise with the team in Myanmar to understand the situation on the ground both with the teams and their families and the people of Myanmar. CNN.com reports that at least 22,000 people were killed, and 1 million could be homeless after the tragedy.

Since I have God, I lack nothing

“I am not able to walk by myself since I was born. Praise the Lord that I was born in a loving family. But I found something lacking in my life. I just lived day by day without hope.

It makes my life meaningful

“I am working in the city, and am unable to go to church on Sundays because of my job. I feel empty in my heart. But I am able to listen to the radio.

Radio was my only comfort

Hope for India's Children

Lack of a quality education, poverty and child labor are some of the dire issues faced by Indian children. They especially experience India’s hardships. A program addressing these issues can bring hope to their lives.

I really believe in Jesus

“I became a Christian because my wife is one. But when temptation came, my wife left me. From that time on, I left the Lord. One day, a pastor told me that there was a radio station broadcasting a spiritual program.

You comforted us spiritually

“As our family was poor, we sold blood to make ends meet. As a result, we were infected with AIDS. I often thought to myself that it is better to die, but God reached out and brought me to His loving family.

The Gift of Radios

In closed countries where missionaries are not welcome, radio provides the opportunity for people to hear and respond to the gospel. That’s why TWR not only airs Christian programs, but also distributes radios around the world.

Indians Hear Joyful Tidings

For the month of December, TWR-India plans special Christmas programs and activities around the country. The holiday season provides the perfect opportunity to share the good news with those who might not otherwise hear it.
