I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies as living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. ~Romans 12:1

Dear pastors, co-workers, and prayer partners,

Peace be with you in the Lord!

In July, the Campus Evangelical Fellowship (CEF) of Taiwan held its triennial Youth Missions Conference. Among which, a “Missions Expo” took place over three afternoons, featuring booths from 74 mission organizations representing various fields in Taiwan. This gave the participating university students a chance to explore the diverse landscape of modern missions. Praise the Lord, Voice of Salvation was also invited to attend and share face-to-face with young people how God has been revealing His wonders through media missions.

The theme of our booth was -- Offering “Voice” to Win Souls, highlighting our mission to serve the Lord through the medium of voice. Through websites, radio stations, podcasts, or mobile apps…, each media platform becomes a channel through which we proclaim the gospel. In each episode, our program hosts sow seeds of the gospel, winning souls for Christ and rescuing the lost. “Offering Voice” symbolizes not only offering our voices, gifts, and talents, but also offering our very lives in response to God’s calling—to be a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to Him, with our whole being, mind and life.

Thank God for bringing many students to our booth. They not only witnessed the unique value and role of radio broadcasting in the mission field, but also reflected whether they had heard and needed to respond to the Lord’s calling through the personal testimonies of our co-workers.

We were especially blessed to meet university students who grew up listening to our children’s gospel programs. Among them was a young pastor who now listens daily to our Children Bible stories with his own child. One touching encounter was with a young man from Wenzhou, China. He recalled how his elders used to listen to the radio gospel programs via shortwave radios during his childhood. We’re deeply grateful for these face-to-face encounters with our listeners, which reminded us once again that even after more than 50 years, the radio ministry has not lost its relevance. On the contrary, by God’s grace and perfect will, it continues to bless, accompany, and lead countless Chinese families to Christ.

In this end time, we earnestly hope that more young people will be stirred by the Lord to broaden their vision for media missions, to respond to God’s calling, and to join Voice of Salvation in the ministries—offering their voices and lives as living sacrifices, pleasing to the Lord!

We humbly ask for your continuing support—through prayers, offerings and partnership in this mission of radio ministry.

 [letters from the listeners]

From China – Dear Sister Rainbow, peace and God’s blessings to you! Today my second daughter cried while listening to the May 27th program. The main character in the episode is in the second grade of elementary school, just like her. Over the past year, I’ve been in a very low valley in life. She’s exhausted and helpless, so was I.

She told me: “What will happen to me in this world if Dad goes to be with the Lord one day?” My emotions may have affected her. But how do I face the uncertainties of life? May the Lord comfort and lead me through the challenges and grant me an abundant life!

From China – About the new series “Sister Ching-Ching tells stories”, I’ve been listening to it and really enjoyed the story about Queen Esther which was shared today.

From China – Life is a real stage. Brother Hong-song Lin and Sister Mei-shih Chou performed a beautiful and touching life drama for us in the testimony program. Despite life’s hardships, their joy from Jesus is so obvious. The trials from God made them more profound. I believe that Sister Chou, now in heaven, is even more radiant and is free from sufferings. Her hardships will be greatly rewarded.

From Taiwan – Today I started using this resource for the kids in our association to learn English while also learning God’s Word. Each episode is only 8 minutes long and comes with the script, making it manageable even for children from kindergarten to junior high. It’s truly a great resource.

 

 [letters from Bible Correspondence Course student]

Student Lin – I am already a Christian. Studying the basic course brought me back to the state that I once was a new believer. It rebuilt me and taught me how to teach others. Sometimes, when prayers go unanswered, when I hit the valley of life, or when I became spiritually dull due to being occupied in life, I feel disconnected from God—and my passion for faith grows cold. This course helped me return to my first love and remember my testimony and how I received God’s grace. Thank you for this course—it awakened and reminded me of my original commitment.
