One of my favorite parts about my job is hearing directly from our listeners and audience members around the world. And at the start of this year I've already been inspired by how our listeners are finding ways to grow their faith and share the gospel with people in their own communities.
In Tokyo, Japan, Maaya shared, “I listen to your radio program every day. The other day I found out that my neighbor is a Christian, and I’m thinking of sharing the program with him too. Could you send me a CD with the recording?”
Harahita is a leader in her church in India, planning worship and reading from the Bible during services. She recently began sharing our Hindi devotional book, Dainik Bhojan, with her congregation, and now people are beginning a new habit of reading devotional books outside of Sunday worship.
Our Indonesian ministry partners recently launched a new video program for children, which complements their daily print devotions. Trinsawati has been watching and sharing the videos with her children. “Thank you so much — I am so blessed to share these".
I also have a story about Roger, a listener in North America, who recently decided to become a prayer warrior through ReFrame's Prayer Ministry. You can read how he began his new habit below.
I hope these stories inspire you to share the gospel with someone in your life this week and I hope you are able to see the impact your prayers and support are having on lives all around the world.
Our French ministry team recently began a new partnership with two local radio stations in Conakry, the capital city of Guinea. The stations are broadcasting ReFrame's gospel programs three times each week.
Arabic Ministry:
ReFrame’s partners in Egypt recently selected Rev. Youssef Adel Hanna to lead our Arabic media ministry. “Please thank God with us,” said Kurt Selles, ReFrame director, “and pray for Rev. Youssef and all who are involved as we move forward in proclaiming the good news in Arabic.”
Event Invitation
Direct Connect with Rev. Sergei Sosedkin
On March 7, you can join a special online conversation, and connect with Rev. Sergei Sosedkin, your Russian-language ministry partner and author of March's Today daily devotional. Sergei will share testimonies, prayer requests, and updates from believers on the ground in Russia and Ukraine.
Sergei is a native of Russia, and his wife, Olena, is a native of Ukraine. They are the parents of two children. Sergei carries out his ministry work from Grand Rapids, Michigan, and from various locations in Russia, Ukraine, and the Baltic States.
Even if you cannot attend the live event, signing up will allow us to send you the recording to view later.
Pray for Guia, who became a Christian and joined a church about five years ago. “My church does not have a youth program for my 14-year-old daughter, and I feel confused and lost,” Guia said. Pray for wisdom as she discerns next steps for her and her daughter’s growing faith.
Hindi Ministry India
The village of a man named Manoj is surrounded by forests and mountains, so it takes hours to travel there from the nearest city. Still, he and about 30 participants from similar parts of India traveled to attend a training for pastors and lay leaders led by ReFrame’s Hindi ministry partners. Please pray for young leaders like Manoj as they minister in remote areas.
Spanish Ministry
Cuba
Dedice reads our Spanish-language devotions, Cada Día, and asks for prayers for her and her family in Cuba. Pray for their spiritual and physical well-being, and may they continue to read God’s Word every day.
