Thailand - May, 2005

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.

This month's excerpts feature responses from Issan language (Northeast Thai) broadcasts.

I listen to your program all the time. I used to be a person that kept everything inside but now that I have been listening to your program, I am trying to follow the advice you give in your programs. I don't talk much and so when I have problems I just think about it alone by myself. I don't share it with anyone. And sometimes I have a strong reaction and speak with others by my temper. I shout and say things I shouldn't when I am working with others. But now that I am listening to this program, I have started to share my difficulties with other friends. And my temper has decreased and is almost gone. And now I have many friends - they are cheerful friends. People who are around us have happiness. May this program be encouragement for those who are without strength to live these days and have lost hope. Keep going for a long time!

To the More Precious Than Gold Program:

Hello to all of the Program Team: I have received the booklet and the letter you sent to me. I thank the Lord that you see I have value. I believed in the Lord in 23 March, 2005. I am very happy that I have come to know God. From that time I have had less turmoil in my heart. Before I came to know Christ, everything was in a mess - not matter if it was to do with my work or my family - everything was a burden. Thank you that I have come to know the Lord. Coming to know the Lord at this time will not be too late for me! Now I and my whole family have believed. I am sending the Bible Correspondence along with this letter. Please let me know what is right and what is wrong about my lesson, because I have never studied like this before. Please give me your good advice. I still don't know very much at all about God, but I am trying to come close to Him all the time. Please send me any book that would have pictures for children, or would help us grow in faith. I also would like someone to come and visit my home to pray together with me as I pray to receive Christ as my Savior. Please can you arrange that for me? Thank you Lord and may God bless you,

Mr. Sriphon, Sakhon Nakhon

This is my first letter - I just listened to this program today for the very first time. I am so pleased that there is a program about Jesus Christ and I do want to listen. (I saw the program on a leaflet left outside my place.) But we don't have a antenna on our portable radio at home. We haven't been listening to the radio for 4-5 years now and just used the cassette tape. I prayed as I wanted to listen…….and this is most wonderful - I could hear this program! It's not such a clear signal without the antenna. God showed me that He cares about me and hasn't left me when He answered this prayer. I am a new Christian - I believed on the 16 January 2005, but even though I am a new Christian I receive many blessings every day, until I almost cannot contain it all. It can be seen very clearly that my health has improved and I am more brave, and have more patience. God's love is warm in my heart! I do really thank the Lord. I want to encourage all who has difficulties at this time to not give up! And not to become hopeless in life. Our God is the greatest and He is with us and hovers over us by His Holy Spirit as in Isaiah 41:10. May I please have a booklet and I ask for the blessing of God to fill your heart, dear programmer, and all of the team, and may all the listeners to the program find happiness and joy.

May God bless you,

Ms. Saranya, Nakhon Rachasima
