From Radio Listeners

José in Callao, Peru May God greatly bless your life and ministry. I have begun downloading your podcast archive so I can listen any time of day. The topics are very interesting, challenging, refreshing and edifying. God willing I will download all of the archives to record on CD organized by topics. I will then give them to my friends and the young men I mentor. Carry on in the ministry which the Lord has given you.

S. Narayano Rao in India I have listened to your radio program recently. I believe what was aired was meant very much for me. It touched my life and has brought about many changes in my life. I am eager to grow in my spiritual life. Please pray for me...

Maria in Ukraine Dear Friends, I listen to your broadcasts every day. It is a daily bread for my soul. I am not a Christian yet, but I believe in God. Please pray that God will help me to repent of my sins and commit my life to him.

Vladimir in the Czech Republic (From a phone conversation), Vladimir is Ukrainian but is working in the Czech Republic. He appreciates the broadcast very much and listens to the FBH programs as often as possible via the short-wave station on Saipan. He reports that there are more Ukrainian workers with him who also listen to the broadcasts which are a huge encouragement to them all.

Vadim in Russia "...Your program on forgiveness was quite a challenge for me. I have a friend who had offended me quite seriously. By no means could I forgive him. However, I can see now how the bitterness within me was hurting myself, first and foremost. It was eating me alive... Thank you for the program. It helped me to forgive my friend and now I can breath again after such a time of struggle..."
Vita in Ukraine (From a phone conversation) Vita is a twenty-one-year-old student who listens regularly to the FBH local broadcast. She has been a believer for several years and the programs help her grow spiritually. She is very happy that her mother is a believer now, too. She keeps praying for her father and brother who are not yet saved.

From Nairobi I am so much blessed with your program and the messages. Pastor Ambrose has always been a blessing to me.

Maria in Ukraine "I am so thankful that God found me through your broadcast and cleansed me through Jesus’ blood. A little after I became a believer, my mother also accepted Jesus as her Savior. What a joy it was for me. My father had passed away some years earlier and recently my mother also passed away, due to cancer. She has gone to be with her heavenly Father. What a hope! It became very hard for me without my mother and I had some heart problems. I ended up in the hospital and only by God's grace and through His healing I am back to life. My heart literally stopped for some moments... Ludmila, please pray for me... God already answered your prayers regarding my conversion so I know He does answer your prayers..."

Anya in Russia "...My sister committed suicide when she was only 17. That was a scary shock in my life. I would say that there is a psychological mark on everyone in our family. Four years have passed since that terrible day. We still don't have the answers to our WHY questions. I don't ever want to be in a situation where death is the only way out. I badly want to believe in God who would be my true refuge..."
From South Africa I write this letter to you to inform you that your broadcast Family Bible Hour is very interesting to hear as I learn about the good news of our Savour.

From a Congolese refugee, in Mozambique I want to praise you for the great Bible teaching program “Family Bible Hour.”

Alexander in Russia "...After listening to your program it somehow became real to me, how much time we invest into our families. Sometimes, I think that we simply don't take enough time for God. We are called to preach the Gospel to all people. It is quite a challenge to me. How can I keep enjoying my family and at the same time serve the Lord with dedication...?"
Rita in Russia "...I am listening to your broadcast via the internet. Thank you also for the opportunity you give to download entire programs from your web page. They are very helpful. They are like a breath of fresh air to us.”
Margarita in Russia "...My life has been changed through your broadcast. Both my parents are medical doctors. I have experienced about everything in my life: love, unfaithfulness, divorce, etc. I did not have children though. Somehow I found your radio station and began to listen. It was very difficult to believe in God, whose very existence we denied for so many years. However, day by day God became more and more real to me. I also got my niece interested in your broadcast. Anyway, to make the story short, after listening to your broadcast about adoption which you did some time ago, my niece decided to adopt a child from one of the orphanages here. Today my niece and I are among the happiest people. There is so much joy! Well, that's how the Lord saved my family, one by one."
From Saudi Arabia Your program is inspiring and encouraging to me. I know through your ministry, many lives can be saved.

Lyuba in Russia "...I became a Christian in 1999. I started to attend a church and read the Bible. Shortly after that my son got sick with cancer. Not long after, he died. So did I. At least I felt like I was dead. I did not want to listen to the pastor or go to church. But, very deep within me there still was the longing for God. I found your radio station and started to listen. I had closed myself to any type of preaching. However, I became interested in some of your Bible study programs. Most people around me have no idea what I went through, but God does. He, too, gave up His Son, even though, He did raise Him from the dead three days later. This thought gave me the desire to regain my son. Suddenly, I remembered that I still have two more children who would enjoy having a mother. I started to live again! Today I have 3 grandchildren, all boys. Even more, I also have the living hope of seeing my son in heaven, in God's Kingdom."
From Swaziland I greet you in the name of our Lord. I write this just to acknowledge that you are really making an impact on me through your program.

From Zimbabwe I often listen to your program ‘Family Bible Hour’ and it really helps me a lot in my everyday life to fully understand the word of God.

Tamara in Russia “...My son Ruslan is serving with the military at this time. He has not taken God seriously. He always thought that he could handle his life without God. Now he is experiencing big problems. He has been badly beaten up several times by other soldiers. The officers are not of much help. Recently he asked me about God. I, myself, am a new believer and only recently started to attend a church. I am very thankful for your radio broadcast. When I am talking with my son, some times for hours, I retell whole programs I’ve heard. Ruslan has one more year of military service ahead of him. However, I have much more confidence now for him, since he is starting to ask God for help. My prayer is that Ruslan will accept Jesus as his personal Saviour and Lord soon...”

From Malawi I would like to express my words of appreciation to you all for the good work of salvation which you are doing by evangelizing through this program. I was a prodigal son, cigarettes, drugs and alcohol had controlled my entire heart. These had enslaved me. But now because of your wonderful program, I am free from these bonds of Satan.

Nikolay in Russia “...You made me think today. I just had to think about my life and how I live it. A number of times I started my own business, however, every time I ended up losing it. A number of times, my friends let me down. Other times, business partners ended up being dishonest. Somehow, I thought that simply am doomed for failure. Now I think that I simply was looking in the wrong direction. I should get right with God first. Maybe start attending a church. If God is God, then He could help me in every matter of my life...”

Ilya in Russia “...My family members had a hard time accepting my becoming a believer. They thought that I betrayed them. I gave them a Family Bible Hour program on tape. On that program, you talked about the importance of the Word of God and other things, relating to believers. However, the thing that had a positive impact on them was the talk about family values, how to become a loving and united family. Somehow, they had the impression that the family values were on the backburner for believers...”

Alexander in Russia “...I don’t believe in God. I don’t know if I ever will become a believer. However, your broadcast somehow got me interested. I appreciate your honesty; that you are not saying that there will be a sweet life for those who become Christians. I also appreciate that you don’t push people into church. I like that you simply challenge my honest thinking and allow me personally to make a choice. I have begun to read the Bible; very interesting. Thank you for introducing me to this book...”

Nina in Russia “...Something bad happened in my life. In the past I always avoided religion and churches. However, I ended up having to cry out to God, since there was no-one else around. To my amazement God did respond. Thanks to my trial I learned about God. Now, thanks to your broadcast I also have found a good church. Just too bad that I didn’t get it earlier! Thank you very much!”

Oleg in Russia Oleg Bindasov - our producer in Russia sent this note: "Gregory asks us to thank God with him for his mother. It seems that many mothers don't give up believing in their children, even when they are on the wrong path. Gregory is already 40 year of age, however, only recently came to know the Lord. He wrote: 'Your programs helped my mother to keep on believing, to keep on living.'"

Luis in Mexico "I send greetings because of your very fine radio program that has served many families, like mine. I trust it will be of great blessing for many. We continue to pray that the audience of this program will keep growing.

Valentina in Russia "Today I am calling to share with you about a real victory in my life. God helped me to find peace and forgive my son. He is in bondage to drugs. Due to this he tried to kill me and my husband. He tried to throw us over the railing of out third-floor balcony. It has been a nightmare to live with our son. Your broadcast helped us simply to survive. Today, at the court I said that I do forgive our son and will not put charges against him. As I said it, I saw tears in his eyes. Something happened in that moment in his heart. I could see it in his eyes. He then asked us to forgive him. I really believe that God begun to change him. I believe that God is giving us back our son. Please pray with us."

Konstantin in Russia "I would like to thank you for the program with the theme 'The More Important Question.' I used to think that I will be alright and get to heaven, if I try not to commit big sins and read a little in the Bible. I learned that this is a total lie. I thought that I was serving God, while I was simply trying to serve myself. I thank you for your broadcast. You have helped me to get things straight. I do have now a much clearer understanding of my purpose on this earth. It is worth it to find God's love and share it with others."

Nadezhda in Russia "It is true, that only in God is there real happiness. Half of my life I was trying to get happy. However, everything was in vain. I ended up in divorce. There were problem with my child. I literally was at the end. Thank God, that there were people who told me about your radio. Now, with God's help and your programs I am getting right with God. It already has a good impact on my life. God is good!"

Mr. Rao in India I have learnt that those who believe in God only have the ever-lasting life. All of your messages that aired are a blessing to me. Since I am not able to attend Gospel and prayer meetings it is from the program that I gain knowledge and spiritual growth. I sit at home and meditate on the Word of God. Send me Bible literature and pray for me and my family.

Brother Sudhakar in India We are able to learn so many facts and so many hidden truths through your radio program. They are of a great blessing to us. I am an evangelist and I use the points I get from the radio messages to prepare my sermons. I request you to pray for my ministry and family. We are childless for past 11 years of our married life. I request you to join us in praying for a breakthrough and the joy of being blessed with a child.

Michael in Russia "I tried very hard to change this world for better. In the midst of it I nearly lost my family. Only now I have come to the understanding, that it is not my job to change the world. God is in charge. We can put our trust in Him and not worry. Thank you for the great broadcast. I feel much better now and am thankful to God that He is God and I can simply enjoy being His creation. I feel like I have finally found my place in life..."

Ekaterina in Russia "I would not call myself a Christian. However, I am enjoying your broadcast. You are talking about God with such confidence. It sounds so real. You also come up with interesting answers to life's questions, which I have not heard anywhere else. You really are making me curious. Maybe I should read the Bible for a change. It might be more useful than I have thought so far..."

Sathya in India "I listen to your messages whenever I get time. The messages have changed my life totally. I am a different person now. My faith in the Lord has delivered me from many problems. Your programs helped me to know how the Holy Spirit speaks with us. I praise God for the same. The books sent by you are also very useful to me."

Krupa in India Greetings! We are strongly encouraged through your radio programs. They are very useful to help us grow more in the Lord. My mother introduced me to the program. The entire family has come to know the Lord as our Ssviour through the messages. I am doing a B.Sc. in Chemistry and am in the final year. We have started attending the church service every week regularly. A few days ago my mother fell ill but by the grace of God she is recovering slowly. Kindly pray for her health. She is the regular listener to your programs and always prays for you. I am enjoying doing the Bible Correspondence Course you sent me. It is very helpful to me to know more about the Lord. Praise the Lord.

Guadalupe in Mexico "I would like to make a comment regarding the topic of divorce on your program "Clasificación A." I would like to say that this topic is very important to God. It is wonderful that it is being broadcast on mass media like radio and that the focus is on what God's word says about it. This is a growing problem in our society. I want to congratulate you on the program and I hope you keep talking about current issues. May God continue to bless you."

Juan in the USA "Today I heard you for the first time on the Friendship Radio Network... I like your sensible programming for youth... I'm orignally from Guatemala, but am presently living in Georgia. I'm 42 years old."

Kiran in India I am an ardent listener of your Telegu radio programs. These messages help me a lot and even to the extent of leading me to salvation experience. All of our family members gather together and listen to the radio messages, which enable us to see through each day cleaving to the promises given in God’s Word. The Word of the Lord fills us with happiness and joy. Your response to our letters is always encouraging. Thanks for the booklets.

Grigory
FEBC manager
in Chernovtsy,
Ukraine		 We thank God that many Ukrainians accepted Jesus through FBH broadcasts in the Ukrainian language. Every day we receive many phone calls from listeners who need our help. They also like to come to the studio and talk to us about their problems. Please pray that God will bless new believers and help them to be strong in the Lord. Posted April 2, 2007

Marta in Mexico “I greet you and congratulate you on your program. I would like to ask if it would be possible to speak about eating disorders and sexual preferences. I am a teacher and will be recommending your program to my students. They are young people with many issues. It appears to me that you produce a very good program and I invite you to continue with this motivation of helping our families. It is gratifying and comforting to listen to you.”

Patty in Mexico “Firstly, let me thank you for your programs. I have been listening to them and they are of much blessing to me and, I am sure, for many families as well because they touch on themes that are problematic in our everyday life, and with increasing intensity in our society. It's a blessing to have a biblical opinion that helps us focus on what is important and also to have answers for our family menbers who are going through situations like those you deal with in your programs. This is a fresh and timely concept. I trust that the Lord will go on blessing this project, which is truly a great blessing.

Florinda in Angola “I live in Uige district. I am a mother of six children. I take the program of Family Bible Hour is a great instrument for teaching Bible knowledge to my children.”
