To
meet the needs of different
age groups, we produce many
different kinds of gospel
broadcast programs:
【pre-gospel
programs for Chinese children】:
”Children’s Bible Stories”,
”Popcorn”, and
“Joyful Island”
According
to reports, the Chinese
government strictly forbids
people from preaching the
gospel to children under
the age of 18. Children
are, of course, not allowed
to attend public church
gatherings. However, gospel
broadcast is not bound by
these regulations. God loves
these children and, through
gospel broadcast, His love
has entered their hearts.
Over
these 20 years, from children’s
letters, we can feel their
pure faith in Christ. The
seeds of God’s word, Bible
stories and teachings have
been deeply planted in their
hearts. So many little listeners
have grown up and kept writing
letters to encourage us.
They become Sunday school
teachers and are using our
children programs as their
Children’s Sunday school
teaching materials.
Besides,
because of this, many Children’s
Sunday schools in “tri-independent”
churches and house churches
are established or strengthened.
【pre-gospel
family program】:
”Our
Time”, “A Date with Life”,
& “Colorful Life”
In
China, women’s rights are
often ignored. However,
God’s love reaches out to
them through radio gospel
broadcast.
In
1983, ”Our Time”, a pre-gospel
program which cares about
the life of Chinese women,
was started to proclaim
God’s salvation. With this
program, we hope to teach
Chinese women to value their
own life and learn how to
experience God in their
daily routines. We also
want to help them learn
how to live on the foundation
of God’s truth and therefore
become a blessing to their
family.
To
meet the family needs in
Taiwan, we started a family
pre-gospel program since
1993. In 1996, we started
the program “Afternoon Tea
Time for Family”, which
later turned into the program
“A Date with Life”
in 1996.
【Truth-teaching
programs】:
”Insight for Living” ,
“Light of Truth”
, and “Pray for Chinese”
During
those many years when the
Chinese government deprived
its people of the rights
of religion, the spiritual
hunger and needs of the
brothers and sisters in
China were satisfied through
radio gospel broadcast.
Especially
in poor rural areas, listening
to radio gospel broadcast
is really their only opportunity
to receive God’s word. Therefore,
two truth-teaching programs,
“Light of Truth” and “Insight
for Living,” were started
in 1994 and 2000 respectively
for pastors, preachers,
brothers and sisters in
China.
【pre-gospel
program for Chinese youth】:
”Awake with the Angel”
and “Heart’s Night Prayer”
Chinese
youth are taught in atheism
since their childhood under
the government’s education
system. However, deep in
their hearts, they no longer
put their hope in their
country, nor in the communist
party. They have even totally
lost confidence in communism.
With their disappointment,
they still don’t know how
to face the future.
Since
October 2000, the program
“Awake with the Angel”,
mainly in a gentle style
and with different content
settings daily, hopes to
share Christ’s gospel clearly
and convey Christian ideas
and values. The ultimate
purpose is to inspire the
audience to review their
own relationship with Jesus
Christ every day.
Thank
God that, since its beginning,
this program has been on
the top list among all the
programs of Trans-World
Radio Station, regarding
the number of audience letters.
The number of listeners
who became Christians through
listening to this program
is hard to count. Some of
them are so touched that
they have even started their
gospel ministry on campus.
【Life-witnessing
program】:”Cloud
of Witnesses”
Since
its launch in 1994, this
program has been receiving
great feedback. Through
listening to the program,
many “cold” Christians have
turned to God again. So
many friends who were going
through hardship or crises
in life have been led to
experience God, walk out
of their despair, and put
their trust in God.
Over
more than 10 years, this
program has been broadcasting
in Taiwan. Besides, in March
2003, it started broadcasting
in Texas, U.S.A. In 2004,
it went on air in Calgary,
Canada. And it can be heard
in Sydney and Brisbane,
Australia starting 2006.
In December 2006, it went
on air for one hour every
Saturday, Sunday and Monday
evening in Khabarovsk, Russia.
As you can see, these years,
God is leading this program
to “put out into deep water”
and “let all Chinese around
the world hear the voice
of salvation.” We know that
God will use every witnessing
story to glorify Him and
to bless life through life.
