I am a Tibetan Girl

I am a Tibetan girl. Two years ago, I accidentally tuned to your gospel channel on the radio. I was instantly hooked. Your joyful conversations and friendly voices attracted me very much. With you as my daily companion, my worldview and value have changed and corrected. I could not write to you sooner because I am working in an area where atheism is the philosophy. Fortunately I was assigned to travel for a job assignment. I took this opportunity to write to you.

I am a Miao

I am a Miao of fifty-four years old. My village is located in cold and mountainous area. Out of the twenty-six Han and Miao families here, only three Miaos are Christians. Since I graduated in 1966, I worked for six years in education. This period coincided with the infamous cultural revolution which stressed in dismantling traditions and founding new values. As religion was regarded as traditional, people were forbidden to cultivate any form of faith. They were told to believe in Marxism only. In order to keep my Christian faith, I quit my work and returned to this mountainous village where I grew up. For twelve years, I worked as an accountant for the village office. Then God called me to serve Him and shepherd His flock in the church. I know that I am not worthy for the work which God assigned me. Please forward spiritual literature to me and send workers to help me and the church.

I am a Lisu

I am a Lisu. My ancestors converted to Jesus Christ in 1938. Since then, all subsequent generations are Christians also. There are two churches in my area. The number of Christians is about three hundred. However, the spirituality of most is poor and we lack leaders, preachers and pastors. Recently I attended a training course nearby and we desperately need your help.

I am a Mongolian

My home place is in Inner Mongolian. My family moves to Tianjin to earn a living. One night we tuned to your broadcast by chance. We were attracted by your Bible message and listened till mid night. At that time my wife was pregnant. On impulse, we dedicated the unborn baby to Lord Jesus.

The baby girl was always sick since she was born. One night on her 4th month, she kept crying even having taken medicine. My wife suggested us pray to Jesus though in fact we don't know how to pray. Thanks to Jesus that He healed her. Since then, she is very healthy. We are grateful to the Lord and want to have a copy of the Bible.

I am a Mongolian Christian

I am a Mongolian Christian. Because I live in remote area, my radio sometimes fails to receive your signal clearly. Yet I insist listening to your programs. I also pray to God for a distinct reception of signal from your station. In the past six months, your programs have been received clear and loud. Praise the Lord!

There are many Koreans

My family is from Heilongjiang. My mother accepted Lord Jesus in 1995 and my father followed one year later. In our town, there are many Koreans. In the Han church, there were two young lady preachers of about eighteen years old. We considered their teachings a bit extreme and thus some of us stopped attending the church and organized fellowships of our own. Owing to lack of knowledge and skill, our fellowship was disorganized. Then a Korean pastor came to the Korean church. After learning about our plight, he offered to help us revive the fellowship. Although not speaking one word in Chinese, he led us to pray hard to God for mercy and forgiveness of our sins. Our faith in God consolidated gradually. We did experience God's miraculous power.
