My uncle and I have moved from Vietnam to settle in the northern part of Laos. This was due to the charge that we were Christians and that we may have been traitors to their country. They called us "Americans" and accused us of being for General Vang Pao, the Hmong general that fought with the Americans against communist Vietnam during the Vietnam war.

Because of all this and more we were forced to move out quickly. We were sick of this and just because of our faith. We're not sorry for any part of our lives that may have been left behind there, only tangible items such as food and things of that.

And so now we live with our Christian brothers here. We appreciate anything that can be given without remorse. Thank you.

I praise the Lord for the gospel that comes my way. I have been fighting myself sometimes that I have received better news than love. It is so hard to fight myself and come to terms.

I sometimes see an evil that tends to keep me down. I nearly died several times because I was so in hatred of my life and my love. After I heard about God's love and learned about Satan I was in love with Jesus. I went to look for God, whether it was a rose or a beautiful person, but I found God in my heart. And this love was different. So contagious like a wild fire I took the Lord's love into me. From that instance my life changed.

I now want to live and serve my family with God.

1 thank the Lord for your broadcast. It has really touched my heart. After listened to your daily broadcast I now have joined with the Seventh Day Adventist church because there are no other churches near by.

After reading through the Old Testament I have questioned whether Christians should attend church on Saturday or Sunday. In the olden days many early worshippers worshipped on Saturday. So then who's right and wrong or what not?

If there are any materials which can help me, I'd appreciate it.

Thank you for sending me those two tapes. I have learned very well from them.

But I have a complaint.

You speak very good Hmong on the air and I respect that. But at the church that I attend the pastor only speaks the native language of Laotian. The old folk do not understand and sometimes it is hard to stand with.

Anyhow, keep on broadcasting. If it is no problem can you send me some music to sing to, or provide a outline of your programs so I could use as a tool to teach the Hmong Christians in our language? Thank you.

This year I have been elected the Sunday school director for our church. It's my responsibility to take care of the handbooks and hymns.

Last month I listened to the Thursday program then listened to the Saturday program from your wife. The programs have enlightened me and I wondered if you can give me the transcripts of the shows which I'd like to share with the congregation.

I praise the Lord for your program. In some parts of Laos there are no pastors to rely on so we teach ourselves and share from your broadcast. Please send me a hymnbook and a New Testament along with the transcript. Thank You.

I am a believer, and I just got married not too long ago. I praise the Lord for bringing my wife and I together. But sometimes things just don't work out. If it is no problem can you send me some tapes about marriage life? I am afraid that if we do not work out these problems, our marriage will come to an end. My wife wants to divorce me because I can never seem to do the right thing.

You are the only hope for us. Thank you all at FEBC for your wondrous work in strengthening our faith. Many people rely on these broadcasts to help sharpen their lives into that which the Lord wants. Keep the broadcast alive because too many people count on it. Thank you.

My family lives in such darkness. They live with unrest because they refuse to believe in Christ. Ever since I was a boy I've been having seizures. I know that this inhibits me from many things, but not the love of the Lord.

I have heard your broadcast and I have learned about this "true God" that can love me. But how can I about loving this God? Can I believe in myself or must my whole family come to know Him? What do I do after I become a Christian?

Keep on broadcasting. Many people like me who are interested in knowing and experiencing different things wish to come to know God. We want to grow. Thank you.
