Earlier this year in June, we shared about our partnership with TWR in Sri Lanka. They had translated By This Name into Sinhala and were reading out the book in a weekly radio broadcast. They had a good response to the program as listeners called and wrote in to say how much they had learned about God.
Since then, TWR has continued to faithfully broadcast the program. The readers read out the Sinhala script and the program also plays appropriate worship songs. The power of radio is that it can reach into the lives of people living in remote areas who either have no access to books or who are unable to read. Just recently, TWR sent us more messages that they had received from people who called in.
I live in a remote tea estate. There are no churches within 40 kilometres of where I live. Your program has been so very useful for me.”
I work in the air force and one day, by accident, I tuned into your radio program. It was very good for me to learn about the living God.”
I am not a Christian. But after listening to your program, I feel I need to learn more about the God of the Bible. Please tell me the way to know this God.”
These are just some of the messages from people who have called in or wrote to TWR, expressing thanks or a desire to know more about Jesus Christ. Imagine the countless others who have heard and believed. What a joy it will be on that day, when we meet these fellow brothers and sisters in Heaven.
