Thailand - April, 2006

FEBC Thailand's radio ministry consists of radio production and distribution to local stations throughout the country. The following letter translations are representative of inquiring listeners. Titles in green represent the program name.

I listen to this The Way of Hope program. I have just been in hospital and am recovering at home. I listen to the program and don’t feel lonely. The program is a good friend and is my encouragement. I have been in the place of having no hope because I haven’t had a good experience of love and I have been unwell the whole time. I have a bag of medicine as a close friend on my person all the time. I want to say that your program is wonderful for those who don’t have anyone they can trust in and have come to the end of hope. After listening, the world is a brighter place and I am ready to continue on with this life. Please keep this program on for a very long time. I would also like to receive the booklet you have for listeners

The Way of Hope program:

Greetings to the program team,

Thank you for answering my letter. I am full of joy that you wrote to encourage me. There was both encouragement and advice which enabled me to make my decision as to whether I would keep on living without an aim in life or whether I would come back to belief in God. I have chosen to come back to God. I want to be His child again and live my life with Jesus. Previously I felt that I was on my own, was sick with the disease of depression and lived mostly only because of the medicine for my nerves. This meant I had a difficulty which was seen by others. I was also in great worry about my son and daughter who are studying because they are at the age of danger if they go the wrong way with the wrong friends. I had to take the medicine regularly. But now my life has Someone to assist me because of the grace and mercy of Jesus. I want to thank you again. I listen every night to the FM station. I am ready to leave the temple to live out in the world again. I am ready to fight every difficulty and I know that I have God leading me in the right way ahead. I want to request you to please pray for me in this decision I have made to leave Satan’s way and go on the new Way. Please send me the booklet for encouragement. May God bless each one of you.

This Time is for Friends program:

Last Sunday I moved the dial on the radio and found your program on air in the morning. I used to live in Mukdahan. I am another person who is interested in Christianity. I keep on looking for answers. I haven’t yet had the opportunity to go to a Church anywhere. I will look for an opportunity to go. I am interested in knowing God through your program. I would like to have a Bible to study both the Old and the New Testaments and the Power for Living book too.
