One believer said that before he heard the first episode of the program, he didn\u2019t know how to study the Holy Bible. Now, he wants to study the Word of God as was taught in the program.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote style=\"color: #333333;\">\n<div class=\"no\">I became a \u201cChristian\u201d when I married my husband. But I didn\u2019t know much about God. Your program has been very helpful.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote style=\"color: #333333;\">\n<div class=\"no\">I am blind so I can\u2019t read anything. That\u2019s why this radio program was so important to me. I got to learn about the living God.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote style=\"color: #333333;\">\n<div class=\"no\">We listen to the program as a family. This is our first time learning about God through a radio program. We are eager to learn more about the Word of God.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote style=\"color: #333333;\">\n<div class=\"no\">I was touched by the program. I&#8217;m not a Christian but the message has impacted my life. I want to listen to the rest of the program and learn about the Almighty God.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote style=\"color: #333333;\">\n<div class=\"no\">I love this program because I can learn things that I didn&#8217;t know before.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote style=\"color: #333333;\">\n<div class=\"no\">I am not a religious person but as I listened to the program, I was touched by it.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote style=\"color: #333333;\">\n<div class=\"no\">I am a disabled person who can&#8217;t walk. I cried when I listened to the program. It was as if God were speaking to me personally. Please continue to broadcast this program.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"color: #333333;\">We thank the Lord that we have the opportunities to partner with ministries from around the world. Please pray with us that the listeners of this radio broadcast can understand the message and come to faith in Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every time we receive a report from a partner ministry, our hearts are encouraged.
