As the year winds down, we stop and take time to reflect on the millions of people who were able to hear the Gospel for the first time through our powerful radio and television broadcasts.
Our work is changing lives all across the globe, and we are so grateful for how God has used the broadcasts and has allowed us to play a role in reaching the nations. Over the past 75 years, millions have been able to hear the Gospel and accept Christ as Lord, in turn making changes in their own communities in the name of Christ. However, we know our work is not complete. As the population continues to grow, the need to spread the Word of God grows with it and we plan to continue doing so for the next 75 years.
Listeners often write in to thank the team for their efforts:
“I want to thank you for your broadcasts. I can’t go to church or meet other believers because my family is against my belief. I have faced a lot of physical and psychological abuse because of my faith. Life is really hard sometimes but these broadcasts are my pastor and church. The pastors are so real and open to share their lives. I used to feel pity for myself and be so sad for my circumstances, but through the program I have learned how to praise God in the middle of my storm. Thank you for all you do — so thankful we can worship God together.”
“A few days back I listened about Jesus Christ through your program on the radio. The songs and message of that program brought me much joy. I felt as through the message Jesus was calling me and talking with me. Kindly send me your program schedule so that I may listen to the program regularly and tell my friends about it.”
“For several months I have been listening to your Hindi program and like it very much. The messages are so interesting and encouraging and have drawn me towards Jesus. I have given my heart to Jesus Christ and want to follow Him every day. Kindly help and guide me as I belong to a non-Christian (Hindu) family.”
“I have been listening to your program for years — it is the only radio station that is on in our house. My children and I have grown in faith and in love while listening to the programs on the radio. Every day I find through the programs something new that makes me think about God’s greatness and draws me to worship Him. I have been through a lot of hard times in the last two years. We faced death in our family and dealing with grief has been so hard. Through your program, the word of God has been like a balm for my weary heart.”
We thank God for the changed lives these testimonies represent. We also thank God for our faithful supporters. It is because you pray for and give to The Tide® ministry that we are able to continue His work around the world, and we appreciate you.
