I am a pastor who is currently responsible for 5 different churches in the northern region of Thailand. I have recently discovered that the churches here lack Christian material.

Besides listening and learning from your radio broadcast, I need some of your scripture teaching tapes. They will help me share more about Christ to other churches. Please send programs on such issues like marriage counseling, life as a teenager, and topics on Christian responsibilities in the local church.

Keep on broadcasting. We need your help and cooperation so that the Hmong people in Thailand can grow spiritually in the Lord.

I am 16 years old and live in the northern part of Laos. I live in the far north of Laos. My village is probably the only one in the area. Even though I live far from others, I thank God we can still hear your radio broadcast. It always comes through crisp and clear. All of your programs have really touched our hearts so that we may live better lives.

I want to tell you that I am not a Christian yet but I never miss your broadcast. The reason why is that without my parents consent, I cannot just believe in any religion I want. I must also respect the Hmong tradition.

Can you please pray for my family so that they will come to know the Lord. Also, please pray so that I can meet a Christian believer.

I'm am always happy to see a believer. They are always honest and polite. Can you please send me scripture teaching tapes so that I may live my live according to God's words?

Please help me. Presently, my boyfriend is with another girl because he cheated on me. There are many times that I think about suicide. But, it was your radio broadcast encouraged me to live on and to have hope. Please send me your advice. Thanks.

I am 54 years old and always have been listening to your radio broadcast since you started. I am proud of you and how wonderful you and your wife teach. Everyone receives much insight from your broadcast.

Recently I searched for a church to attend to but there were none. I have heard that there are many in the capital but a poor man like me cannot afford to go to the city.

So, please give me advice on my marriage. We have been together for 30 years. The problem is that we have never had a good relationship with one another. Sometimes I think about suicide but If I did kill myself, who would understand my hurt?

Please pray for me. If it is possible, please send some scripture teaching tapes to me so that I can share them with my wife. I need help and a better relationship with my wife before I depart from this world.

I am a college student and hopefully will finish in a couple of years. I thank God that by listening to your radio broadcast and scripture teaching tapes, I have accepted Christ into my life. Praise God.

What will I do now since there are no other believers around? I can only depend on your broadcast to teach and nurture my faith in the Lord.

I really want to be baptized now but I still don't understand why I cannot eat the food that is sacrificed to the evil spirits.

Please pray for me so that I will finish school and find a Christian girl so my life will be happy. Thanks.

I am not a believer but I have always listened to your broadcast. I really have benefited from your program. Keep on broadcasting in Laos so that everyone will know and accept Christ.

I have a lot of problems right now. My marriage is not going well and my wife doesn't even care for me. Can I get a second wife? I am waiting for your response.

If there are any scripture teaching tapes that can help me, Please send them to me. Thanks.

I really love to listen to your radio broadcast day and night. At this time I am still attending college. I have searched in several place for a church but found none. Pray that I will find a Christian friend whom I can fellowship with.

Can you please help me with one of my problems? Presently I have a girlfriend and we plan to get married but sometimes it seems that we are torn apart. This has really been bothering me and hindering my education.

What should I do? If you have any audiotapes to help me, please send them to me. Thank you.
