Letter Number: 070457

…I am so thrilled to learn that I can now download the program. Thank you so much for all the hard work you and your team have put into in order to make this happen. Now I can download the program into my cell phone, and listen to it whenever I have time. I have learned a lot from listening to the program, and I have also grown spiritually. When I feel discouraged, disappointed, and weak in my spirit, I often turn on my cell phone and listen to the program. I sense God's presence and His guidance when I am listening, and He keeps me strong. I pray that God will continue to help me.

Regarding the English segment, I still found that I am having a hard time understanding certain English words. If possible, could you send me the related information for the program, so that I can learn the English part while reading the Chinese translation at the same time?

Thank you very much,

Brother Jien Kuo in China

Greetings! I have already received your letter. I know you are very busy; therefore, thank you so much for answering my questions.

I have been listening to your program for a long period of time now!

I went back to school again, but I didn't want to continue after three weeks. I don't get myself sometimes, but of course, there is a reason for me to not continue my education. Well, my family is really poor, so I went and talked to the head teacher of my class about the payment for my tuition. I was able to delay my payment for ten days, but now, my family really can't afford much, so I was embarrassed to go back to the head teacher of my class to discuss further about my situation. I skipped my class today. I just want to find a job in this small town…

Would you please pray for me in the program? Let me know what I can do about my future. Thank you very much!

By the way, may I have some information related to faith and Christianity?

May your program continue to grow, and may you have more and more listeners!

Wish you more and more happiness, and more and more smiles!

WISH YOU HAPPY EVER DAY!

Lu Chun in China

I have received your letter, and I am very excited to receive the booklet of the "Daily Bread." It will help my spiritual walk with God greatly if I listen to the gospel radio program everyday. However, I can't hear the program clearly due to the reception problems…

Brother Wei Lee in China

Letter number:072232

It has been a while since I last wrote to you. I have been preparing for a test in this coming weekend, but I found myself not being able to concentrate and memorize materials like before. Please pray for me, thank you!

I would like to ask you a question: currently, there are a lot of single sisters at church, both in China and Hong Kong. Besides praying and waiting for the Lord, can we meet new friends through the Internet, or participate in the singles' activities through different fellowships?

Would you mind sending me the materials for the segment of Easy and Happy English?

Thank you very much! May God bless you!

God bless!

I haven't written to you for the past year, but I have never forgotten you in my daily prayers. I couldn't listen to your program for at least six months since my radio was broken. I didn't have money to buy a new one. I can't support myself anymore. I am over 60 years old, but I don't have any retirement fund because my working department closed down about 10 years ago. Since I am aged, I can't find any job either. Right now, I am living by collecting the recycled goods from the street, and I am earning about 5 RMB a day. If I want to go to a senior apartment, it will cost me 250 RMB for monthly expenses and 400 RMB for gas and electricity in order to be accepted. I don't think I can survive any longer with this kind of living. Besides that, my wife passed away last year, so I feel really lonely most of the time. I thought about committing suicide for many times, but I reminded myself that I am a child of God, and God will come and take me home one day.

My friend, please pray for me when you receive my letter…

Immanuel.

Brother Chen in China

Letter number: 073572

Greetings!

You sent me the broadcast timetable last time with you letter; it allowed me to listen to the program clearly. Thank you for your guidance, I can now listen to lots of your radio programs…

Brother Chen, Lor Yang city, China

Letter number:073849

I haven't written to you for a long time. I wrote to you when I was a junior in high school, now I am a senior already.

I have grown a lot during this time, I no longer feel sad and lonely. You told me, "don't be so negative all the time!" After all the things I went through in my junior year, I finally understood-I am not the only unfortunate person in this world.

I haven't received your English materials in the mail yet. Maybe the postman lost it during delivery, but at least I received your letter, I am still very excited.

My school is practicing "feudalism" right now. We are not allowed to bring MP3, MP4, cell phone, or even radios. Our school has really bad reception for the radio, so I can't hear the program clearly. I have missed your program many times already…

May God Bless you!

Zan-zan Kuan in China

Greetings!

I am a new believer in Christ. I have only been a Christian for less than a year. Ever since I accepted God, ever since I committed myself to God, I have been following Him and trusting Him. During the Chinese New Year break this year, I received a radio as a gift from the brothers at church. Since then, I have been listening to many radio programs from your station. When I feel weak and weary, your program brings me hope and strength.

Brother Wong (a farmer in Gan Su Province, China)

Letter number:074043

How are you?

I haven't contacted you for a while; however, your voice still sounded so familiar and warm when I listened to the program. Thank you for the Bible reading materials and the blessings you have given me. All of these accompanied me through my life in Japan-three more days and it will be two years! I adjusted to the life here in Japan pretty well, and thanks to you; I have grown so much from listening to your program. The program usually starts at 11:45 PM. Although it is around my bedtime, I will try my best to listen to the program.

I pray that God will continue blessing the brothers and sisters in your station, and I pray that God will bless the program to have more and more listeners.

May God use your voice to bless many others!

Listener Chang Miao in China

Letter number: 074254

I am currently serving at Da-Lien Church in China. I really enjoy listening to your program. I used to be a homosexual just like Kevin. I have learned a lot through your program, and I am undergoing treatments right now.

I am thankful for God's love for me, and I am grateful that many brothers and sisters have been praying for me.

Would you mind writing back to me when you have time?

Rubin in Da Lien City, China

Letter number: 074255

How are you?

I am in love with a brother who is a homosexual. I didn't know that before I fell in love with him. He decided to tell me when he found out my feelings for him. I didn't know how I can help him. I suggested him to see a Christian counselor, but he didn't want other people except me to know about it. I don't want to force him either.

Although some of his good friends know about his sexual orientation, he doesn't want to share this with his church family.

Sister Wangguo in China

Letter number: 071085

Hi, I was a listener of your program about 15 years ago. At that time, it was Wang Jing, if I recall correctly, who hosted this program.

Do you know her? Is there anyway to contact her and say thanks to her?

Your help will be deeply appreciated. Thank you.

A listener in the U.S (listened on the Internet)

Letter number: 071801

Greetings!

I have been a Christian for over 10 years. By God's grace, my wife accepted Jesus as her personal Savior for more than three years; my child is a Christian as well. We have been listening to your program for two years now, and we have grown so much spiritually. The program has many different sections, such as a drama section teaching about the truth, and a Bible teaching section. I especially enjoy listening to the topic related to relationships between the married couples and the topic about how to raise our children in God's way.

Your children programs help me to respond to God's calling for my life-to share the gospel with children who have not heard about God before.

I sensed the Holy Spirit today and I wanted to pray for your station. I pray that the program will have more and more listeners, and it will attract more people around me to listen to the program.

Please write back soon, so I can share some good news with all my friends. Thank you!

Jesus loves you, and we love you too!

Immanuel

We all wanted to listen to your program, but unfortunately our Internet connection has been disrupted most of the time.

Thank you very much! I found this website only recently; it has helped me greatly and has strengthened my faith. May God bless all of you! Immanuel!

Letter number: 070144

Greetings!

May God's love be with you forever and ever!

I have included 200 RMB with my letter as a small token of my appreciation to support your radio ministry.

May God's love be with your station always!

Brother Kuo-jong Chou in China

Letter number: 070145

…You are like my teacher and my guide for my spiritual growth. There's a saying in our church, and I would like to confirm with you. Some people from my church said, "salvation is God's grace; therefore, it does not rely on human effort. Entering eternal life is by faith, but entering God's kingdom is by our effort." Do you agree with that comment?

Hope to hear from you soon. May God be with you!

Brother Kuo-jong Chou in China

I am one of your listeners from Hai Ning, Zhe Jiang. I especially enjoy your program and the stories you have shared.

May God bless your work, and may happiness be with you every single day!

…Listening online is clearer than listening through the radio. The interface of the website can be enriched a little bit more. What's the requirement or qualification if I would like to receive the gift in your program?

Ya-fong Chang in Zhe Jiang province, China

Listener number: 070588

Greetings!

I have received both the letter and the card from you. Thank you!

The broadcast in the winter is not very convenient for us listeners from the village. We were still sleeping when the program started. It will be better if the program can broadcast from noon to 2 PM; this is the time when most people are resting at home. I haven't been able to listen to your program as frequently as before, because we have most weddings and celebrating activities during the winter season. Besides, another reason that I couldn't listen as often is because of my radio cannot receive the frequency, 1373 kHz.

I really want to study the Bible; however, I am having a hard time understanding it. Do you have any information related to study the Bible? I am also listening to the program from the Seventh Day Adventist. Some said that they are heresy. Do you agree with that comment? Also, I heard from your program that there is a booklet giveaway for the listeners; I would like to get one as well.

May God bless you tremendously!

Your Listener,

Brother Jen

Listener number: 070725

Greetings! I am excited to receive your letter!

I forgot that I wrote these letters. I finally realized that it was from your station when I visited the website. I feel bad, but I am very thankful for your letter! I stopped listening to the radio, and I stopped going to the fellowship and church. I have lost my faith, and I am in a very conflict situation right now. I can't forgive myself! "For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out." I really don't know what to do right now.

Is your letter a letter from God? It was right on time for my situation. Although you didn't mention much in your letter, I know that God is with me. He will never leave me, and He loves me! Thank you very much! I think I know what to do!

Sister Yu-lin Hu in China

Greetings!

Seventh Day Adventist wants me to join their church. I didn't respond to them yet. I am living in a small village in the mountainside, and I can hardly receive any updated information. I don't really know much about Christianity, and I have received a lot of books from Seventh Day Adventist. Do you agree with what they are saying? Do you have any booklet related to Seventh Day Adventist and Christianity? Do you mind sending them to me?

May God bless you!

Brother Jen

I wrote to you back in December 2006. Have you received my letter? I listen to your radio frequently, all the things you said about the Word of God have been touching my heart all these time.

Immanuel

Sister Chen

Listener number: 071492

I am your brother in Christ, Wei Lee. I am 39 years old, and I love your program. It was a well-produced program, and I listen to it all the time. I have been taking notes, especially for Song of Songs and the books of the prophets. My notes were not well taken back then, and I was too busy to write to you, my apology!

I found your program again this time, and you have been teaching the Word of God in depth. I hope the radio station won't change the schedule anymore. I would like to receive the booklet, and , and the leather bookmark you are giving away. Although I have never seen you in person, I know that you are a worker of God by your powerful and blessed teachings.

I have been a Christian for 12 years. I accepted Jesus as my personal Savior and Lord in 1996. I heard the Good News from the gospel station, after that, I started going to church and studying the Bible. I applied for radio seminary courses back then, now I am leading at my own church. I feel that I am lacking certain Bible knowledge, so I listen to the program to enrich, train, equip and prepare myself better. Our church is a church in a village, and we have about 80 people. There are five staff members, including me. There are also different meeting places in different villages. We are building a new house today, but so far we only took the old house down. We just bought the materials for building the house today. Although we don't have much money, we have great faith and the prayers from you and other brothers and sisters in Christ.

We have three people in our household. My wife works at a pre-school, my child is in junior high. I am a tile craftsman, working at a construction site. We go to church every Sunday, and I am serving at my church. Please pray for me; please pray that I will have the strength from God to continue serving Him.

May God bless you!

Your brother in Christ, Wei Lee in China

Listener number: 072476

Greetings!

I heard your reply to my letter on the radio the other day. What you said was parallel to what God has been speaking to me lately-to read God's word continuously and to follow His commands.

I am a teacher at an elementary school. I am 29 years old. I have been listening to your program, and I have been learning a lot from it. As a young adult, I am facing a lot of temptations and challenges, but I have been praying for God's strength to help me fight against those worldly forces. At work, I have children in my class who are spoiled by their parents, and sometimes I got frustrated. However, I kept asking God to give me His love so that I can love these kids. If these kids never get to know God, how sad and unfortunate would their future be?

I am also encountering some difficulties with my relationships. I know clearly that I want a marriage that honors God, and I want to wait for the Lord for my future husband. I have been waiting, and the waiting period has been pretty hard to bear. As a matter of fact, most of my friends are married, and if I say I don't envy them, I would be lying.

Honestly, I have good qualities, I am good looking, and I have a good job. Because of that, my relatives are wondering why I am still single. Every time when we have a family gathering, I have to depend on God's power in order to face them. Especially for my father, he is having a hard time accepting me not being married. He has been angry with me before, and out of disappointment, he finally decided that he would not bother me with this matter anymore. I feel terrible, but I am still standing firm with God's teachings. It will be nearly impossible to have a lasting marriage without God in this era. Please pray for my future marriage; please pray that I will have God's power to continue waiting for the right person. I know that we as Christians will face many hardships in our journey, but I trust that all these will pass, and God will strengthen my faith through all of these.

May God bless this radio ministry, may God bless you!

Immanuel

Sister Jer Sheng in China

Letter number: 073561

Greetings! Hope you and your family are healthy and safe!

One of my biggest struggles is my eyesight. I can't wear glasses because it gives me headaches. Because of this, I hardly read my Bible, and I feel empty spiritually. I can listen to your program wherever you are doing it, and you have been a wonderful bridge between God and men.

May God give you great riches in spirit! May God keep you healthy so that you can always host the program with your beautiful voice! May your audience will put aside everything, wait and listen to your program.

This letter should have reached you long time ago. I started writing to you after listening to your program, but I stopped the letter for some reason. I heard that you said you are expecting your listeners' letters, so I started writing again today.

Please write back soon!

May God protect you, and keep you healthy and safe.

In Christ,

Shio-jeng Hu in China

Letter number:070331

I'm a forty-year-old pastor. Your program has been very helpful to me. Since I was ordained in October 2002, my ministry has been difficult and lonely. I thought about quitting the ministry. However, after I listened to your program in which you talked about "10 reasons not to quit", though I only remembered five of them, they had helped me not to quit. I need your program material. And please pray for me that there will be good deacons to serve the Lord with me. Thank you!

Rev. Deng in Hai-nan province, China

Letter number:072437

Though we haven't met each other, your familiar voice has been teaching us for a long time. Your profound Bible knowledge and excellent speaking have been given us wonderful spiritual lessons one after another. You also accompanied me through my most difficult days. I'm sure God remembers your faithful work. May God bless you, your family and coworkers! Amen!

A listener in Guang Dong, China

Letter number:073838

I'm a listener in Hai Nan province, China. I like your program so much, through which my spiritual life is nurtured by the word of God. It gives me great help when I prepare my sermons so I can know how to share and explain God's word. So your program also helps the church I'm ministering. I keep praying for you and your program. May God use and anoint your program to bless tens of thousands of listeners.

Brother Deng in Hai Nan province, China
