Listener Responses from Indonesia

Heart Line program :

" I am very grateful to know that God loves me but also admonished me. I have this kind of feeling because I am living far away from God. I got many probems : personal problems, problem with friends, family and also at the office. I feel life is so hard and I got big depression . All of my family are Buddist, I am the only child who became a Christian.

When I decided to be a Christian and was baptized in my church, my parent chased me away. I stayed in my friend's house. After several days my parents asked my pastor to bring me home. When I went home, they told me not to follow the Christian culture when I get married. I decided not to go to church again, because I am afraid of them. I was thingking very often who are willing to help me ?

One of my friend told me,"Please contact the Heart Line counselor ! This is the telephone number, they will help you !"

Directly I called Yaski and finally I got some to listen to me and to counsel me. Mela, my dear counselor, this is God's plan I could meet you through telephone and shared my problems. God admonished me through you ! Formerly I was lazy to pray, but after its counseling, God gave me His power to help me in renewing my relationship with HIm again. Now, I am praying and listening spiritual songs and Christian program from the radio almost every day.

I pray that God will give you more wisdom and opens the secret of His Words, so that all the counselors will be able to feed His sheeps, like me."

From: Jakarta

" I am a farmer, 63 years old. I live in a quite place, in a village. Although I am living very simple in a bamboo house, I have a peaceful heart because I live closely to God. I know that Jesus is being with me in every situation, and this is my strength.

Every day at 5 pm, I always listen to KFBS Saipan. Although I do not understand all the languages, but I keep listen to it untill the end. I also started a new church in my area, and never absent for going to the service. But now, I am feeling sad, because my daughter was married with non Christian, and although she attended the Sunday school when she was young, she has to follow her husband's religion. I am eager to bring people to Christ, what shall I do ?"

" I could monitor your broadcast, very clearly. Frankly, I missed FEBC broadcast very much when it was missing a few days ago. If I missed my precious things, it cannot compare with the feeling I lost your broadcast. I was very disappointed when I couldn't hear your programs. FEBC broadcast like salt for my heart and soul. I pray that God will protect all your equipments."

From: Kutai, East Kalimantan.

" I found your KFBS Saipan broadcast in 1991. After that I was listening faithfully, because that is the right time for to study His Words.

I just baptized at that time, and like a baby, I need good nourishment for my spiritual life. God helps me to grow in faith through listening to your programs, corresponding and reading spiritual books from Yaski, and also from church programs.

Your guidance to me in so many ways are not useless. Formerly I didn't undertand the Bible at all. Now my understanding is better. My faith is going stronger and I realize that reading God's Words is a need to my spiritual growth.

The Church gave me a task to serve old peoples above 60 years old. I could doing my job because I have a good relationship with Yaski. Thank you for all your help. All the tracts in Javanese language have been distributed to my friends. If you could provide some more tracts, I am willing to give it to more peoples here. To let you know I cann't listen to your broadcast any more because my radio was damaged."

(Note : Yaski sent a radio to this listener already)
