I am old lady who lives alone and I have plenty of time to pray for all of you. I think of you every day, and I pray that the Lord will touch many hearts through your ministry. I love to listen daily to your Bible teaching. God is encouraging me through you.

My daughter and I are also sisters in the Lord. Every day we are listening to your programs and we thank God for His mercy. To listen to His Word over the radio is a wonderful opportunity. The broadcasts of TWR are like a lighthouse to us that shows the way.

I love your program. I listen to it every night and learn so much. I live in an asylum because I suffer with my nerves, and you are the best friends I have. I would like to have a Bible - my first one in my entire life!
