“And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!." (Romans10:15)
Dear pastors and prayer partners: Peace be with you in the Lord!
"How has gospel radio impacted or changed people's lives?" It is hard to give a direct answer, but we often discover it through our listeners' feedback and letters. Thank God, sometimes these answers show up as a wonderful surprise during in-person encounters.
At the end of August, we visited a church for the first time to share about the ministry of Voice of Salvation. After the Sunday service, a brother specially walked up to us. He shared that he used to listen to our program ”Awake with the Angel”, and the host's sharing on the program was of great help to his life situation at the time. This unexpected encounter filled our hearts with deep gratitude. It turns out we were never strangers to each other after all; God's Word had already begun to speak to his heart through the host's sharing.
Shortly after, a sister who had just graduated from university and was about to enter media ministry came over to greet us. She mentioned that during her previous studies in China, she had met some brothers and sisters at a local church. They told her that they used to receive regular spiritual nourishment by listening to gospel radio broadcasts, and would even transcribe the hosts' messages word for word. The sister expressed that this feedback made her deeply realize the irreplaceable importance and impact of gospel broadcasting.
Praise the Lord, through these conversation, we are once again able to witness firsthand how the programs and gospel messages produced by the Voice of Salvation can transcend the limitations of time and space, becoming a tremendous support for believers far away on their faith journey.
The Apostle Paul reminds us in Romans 10 that sharing the Gospel requires people to be sent and to go. Thanks to God, for more than fifty years, the Voice of Salvation has faithfully carried out this mission. Through program production and cross-platform broadcasting, God continues to strengthen and comfort His children with His Word, spreading His salvation and Gospel to the very ends of the earth.
Whether hearing or seeing the grateful responses of our listeners, we are deeply encouraged each time to cherish the opportunities the Lord gives us to preach the Gospel. This also drives us to reflect further: “In this age of AI, where misleading and wicked ideologies blind the hearts of many, how can people hear and receive the grace of the Gospel?" May the Voice of Salvation, under God’s wisdom and guidance, make good use of broadcasting and digital media platforms to continue preaching the truth with clarity and impact.
Thank you for your faithful prayers and support, enabling us to walk with the Lord in unity to fulfill His Great Commission. Please continue to pray for our program production, broadcasting, and listeners. May the Lord draw more people to hear the Gospel, know Him, and receive the hope of life in Christ.

【Listener Feedback & Messages】
◎Listener from China …Peace be with you! I regularly listen to the program "Light of Truth", which truly helps me understand the Bible. I am a listener from China, currently teaching at a rural primary school. I am turning 44 soon and have not yet found a suitable spouse. I also suffer from chronic non-atrophic gastritis, and my stomach occasionally gets bloated. I would deeply appreciate your prayers for my family as well: My Mother: She is 72 years old and suffers from high blood pressure and hypothyroidism. She has not yet accepted the Lord. My Brother and Cousin: Neither of them has worked for several years. They stay at home playing mobile or computer games, smoke heavily and constantly ask their mothers for money whenever they run out. Please keep us in your prayers. Thank you, and Emmanuel!
◎Listener from China …Thank you so much for today’s program. The final words of encouragement brought such grace. Lately, due to poor sleep, I've been preoccupied with worldly concerns and weighed down by anxiety. But remembering your words, 'Pray for God’s Word to light the path ahead,' took away my worries and filled my heart with growing hope.
◎Listener from China …Listening to "Whispering Hope" every day has been incredibly rewarding. It is so relaxing that I can easily remember each day's content. I started listening to Dodo’s "Whispering Hope" in mid-to-late April, and I’ve been tuning in daily ever since. Actually, I used to love listening to "Awake with the Angel" and shared it with many people. However, due to limited time, I couldn't listen to it as often as I wanted.
【Testimonials from Bible Correspondence Course Students】
◎Student Yang (Taiwan)... I thank God for giving me the opportunity to grow spiritually. Through this correspondence course, I have learned so much. Although I find myself flipping through the scriptures over and over again, this process has allowed me to discover many verses that I had read before but never truly valued or took to heart. It has led me to a deeper discovery of the wonders of the Bible, which is constantly at work in people's hearts. As long as you are willing to open the Bible, I believe it will undoubtedly help you...
◎Student Feng (Taiwan)... Through this concise and easy-to-understand Bible correspondence course, I have gained a more systematic understanding and equipping of the Christian faith. I look forward to experiencing even greater spiritual growth and harvest in the intermediate course.
