September & October Prayer Letter 2023

“According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building on it. Each builder must choose with care how to build on it.” 1 Corinthians 3:10

Dear pastors & prayer partners: Peace be with you!

Nowadays, technology advances rapidly and all major manufacturers continuously develop new technologies and devices that offer people a more convenient life with efficiency quickly. Through the internet technology, people can gain wealth, fame, and influence within a short time. However, we will be swamped with wealth and fame amid the fast changing time, if not careful enough.

 

A person can be successful and own everything, yet unsatisfied in his or her mind. The truth is that wealth, fame, and social position do not guarantee complete satisfaction to the needs of one’s mind. All of us may ponder “what is the meaning of life? ” sometimes in our lives. Voice of Salvation brings answers to the meaning of life to every listener through the radio ministry.

 

Here is a message from a listener to share with others. “Every episode of the program is inspiring. The message seems to echo my situation. My thanks to God! God speaks to me through your program. I listened to gospel hymns of the Clay Music Program by chance in 2014 and that was my first encounter of Christianity. In 2016, I searched via LINE and accidentally located the VOS official account. Since then, I began learning Christian faith by listening to the VOS radio ministry. My thanks to God for leading me to make contact with you! And, thank you for the programs that accompany and guide me through the journey!”

 

Our thanks to God! VOS shares gospel messages with listeners according to God’s guidance in all kinds of wisdom. We invite you to pray for every VOS program host for producing each program with caution and reverence. May God open up more broadcast channels and platforms for the VOS radio ministry in order to reach out to more people.

 

[Thanksgiving, News, Prayer Requests]

1. Please pray for every coworker participating in the production of programs for females and programs for children. May all staff experience the joy and grace of being an instrument for God through each production stage of the programs. Please also pray for the programs for meeting the needs of listeners. New programs will broadcast in January next year.

2. To cope with the ministry tasks, we need to hire 1 administrative assistant, 2 program hosts. Please pray for us on recruiting talents and we welcome your recommendation. (For detailed information, scan the QR Code to the right).

 
3. Please pray for the tuning of APP optimization. Currently, there are still technical issues of the iOS version to be resolved. Please pray for us on a smooth launch of APP.
 
4. We mailed the “Radio Sundays” invitation letters for 2024 to churches in Taiwan in September. Please pray for our follow-up with invited pastors.

[Thoughts from Bible Correspondence Course Students]

….I am a student of entry level and have great respect and trust to our Lord Jesus Christ. At first, I had no idea how to pray to God and often mumbled about in my prayers. Gradually, after practicing, I discovered that I could communicate with God just the way I spoke to my family and friends. No need to worry about etiquette and forms. This way, God may know about my current situation and matters better. I pray and talk to God often and believe that Jesus Christ listens to me patiently. I know that God is with me all the time. Amen…. (student Fu)

 

….Thank you for your blessing, I got it. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I believe no matter if it is you or Jesus Christ, both will give me the source of blessing and momentum. It helps me to face the present condition and trials with courage, and bravely go through the process…. (student)
