For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building. ~ 1 Corinthians 3:9
Dear pastors & prayer partners: Peace be with you!
Thank God for His guidance, the Voice of Salvation has been invited by 23 churches to their Sunday services since January to July. We shared our vision of media ministry, so as update the progress. On one hand, more pastors, brothers and sisters learned about the significance of our ministry and we thank God for that; on the other hand, we got the opportunity to express our gratitude and encouragement to those churches, brothers and sisters that have been supporting us through prayers and offerings on a long term basis.
Once after sharing our ministry in a church, the pastor's wife approached us to share her sentiments. She is deeply moved by our ministry and highly recognizes its significance in current generation. Her two children are loyal listeners to our programs for the children, she hoped that they could serve God via media ministry when they grow up and asked us to pray for them.
Thank God for using the Voice of Salvation for almost 50 years to continuously broadcast gospel programs through various media platforms such as radio, internet and social media. These programs spread the truth, lead people to Christ, and shape listeners to be disciples. We’d like to invite you once more to participate in the media ministry through prayers, offerings, sharing and volunteering. Together, let's reach out to save the lost souls in this end time generation.

[Feedback from Bible Correspondence Course Students]

◎ Student Chin: "In this course, I realized that there is a God who loves us, who understands everything about us. He sent His son Jesus Christ into this world to convey the word of God. In this course, I learned that we shall receive everything by faith, just trust in all of God's arrangements."
◎ Student Wei: Through this course, I learned the heart of humility and selfless love that a Christian should have. I genuinely learned how to dedicate myself completely to the Lord and rely on the Lord to be an overcomer every moment to deal with difficulties in life. May the Lord grant this peace to His beloved one. Amen!"
◎ Student Liao: "This course has greatly helped me in realizing the teachings in the Bible are the teachings from God. Furthermore, I have come to realize how abundant the teachings of the Bible are. Moreover, I have been able to feel the depth of Christ's love – He died on the cross for our sins, and this is the greatest love.
◎ Student Shi: Thank God for helping me to understand the truth even more. I’d like to thank the teacher as well. This course made me understand the Lord Jesus more. God is just, faithful, and loving. People could change, but God never changes, being the constant one true God. I learned to commit everything to God, look up and trust in the Lord.
