Prayer For The Wider Area:

Reports from the Bible Broadcasting Network - http://www.bbnradio.org/
"Christ Jesus is the Only Lasting Hope" Recently our National Coordinator in Bolivia talked to a 17-year-old young man. His family years ago had attended an evangelical church, but was now in turmoil. No one wanted anything to do with the Lord. Rape, mental illness, drunkenness, and illegitimate births were common in his home. He sat in our station crying uncontrollably over his sin. After hearing the Gospel, he wanted to know if he could trust Christ right away. He did trust Christ, and began to share with others what had happened to him. He was so thankful for the ministry of BBN-Spanish, and the hope it gives to those in peril.

"I Have Returned" Recently BBN-Portuguese reported the story of a man in Curitiba, Brazil that returned to the Lord after 22 years of his own wilderness wandering. He heard a wonderful hymn on BBN-Portuguese that touched him deeply. Today he is rejoicing because "his whole family also came to Christ." Unashamedly, he proclaimed, "The Lord has blessed me greatly!"

"God Moves A Mission Field" North Korea is a heavily restricted and closed nation. Refugees flee to China to escape the economic hardship and religious persecution only to be forced to return to labour camps or execution. However, a South Korean Mission Agency reports that 14,000 refugees have been granted status in South Korea or America. 70% of these have become Christians. Now South Korean missionaries can reach at least some of the North Korean people without actually being in North Korea. BBN-Korean is supplying the spiritual support needed for many of these missionaries as they minister to the North Korean refugees.

"Keep Your Six Shooter Loaded" That's the phrase an old Bible college professor from Texas used to tell his class. He wanted them to always have a message that was fresh and ready to preach. Andrey, one of our BBN-Russian announcers was recently reminded of that lesson when he purchased airline tickets to Russia. When the Russian speaking ticket agent asked, "how's it going," he began to tell her about BBN-Russian's music and programming. Let's pray for the salvation of this lady and other Russians. And like Andrey, let's keep our six shooter loaded and use it!
