Partnership reaches more Gospel broadcasts

A Partnership between Words of Hope and the Middle East Reformed Fellowship (MERF) is bearing much fruit for the Gospel. MERF's Gospel broadcasts reach 340 million residents of 22 countries in the Arab League, and listeners are responding.

"Thank you a million times," wrote one listener from Palestine. "You help me understand the Holy Bible and the reason I am created."

A new series is being added to MERF's Arabic programming and will air for four minutes every Saturday. It will address problems relevant to young people such as finding housing and jobs, choosing a spouse, and dealing with broken families.

MERF's programs in 3 major Ethiopian languages (Amharic, Oromo and Somali) also report getting feedback from many people who are hearing and responding to the Gospel. "I turned to your program when I was searching for another radio station, and I decided to follow your program," one listener said. "After three months of listening, I believed in Christ and started to attend the local church in my village."

MERF also supports indigenous evangilists and pastors with training and leadership. For instance, a group of church leaders has been getting biblical training at Lokichoggio, on the Kenya-Sudan border for the last few months.

"The number of Muslims positively responding to the invitation follow Christ as Lord and Saviour continues to grow in response to MERF's media ministries,"

Former Bible students become builders

As a former part of the Soviet Union, Ukraine is still in a constant state of change; especially within the church. Once they seperated from the communist rule, Greaterr Europe Mission was eager to begin training Christians. In the city Zaporozyhe, that meant the start of a Bible college.

Today, former students are not only pastors, but they are contributing to the growth of the school. The main contractor and a few of the builders are former students. They have commited to the building project on top of their full-time pastoral ministries and church leadership positions.

In completion, the buiulding will house administration offices as well as dorm rooms.

Single students occupy the dorm rooms while they study.

In their first year, 85 students attended class. Since then, more than 540 students have graduated and moved on to actively serve other Christian communities."
