1. From LVAL - via e-mail, Quy Nhon

I am a college student at Quy Nhon University. I have listened to your programming over the radio and the internet. The program has been very beneficial to my spiritual life. I was wondering if I could have some resources on Youth and Christian Living, current Youth Issues and some material relating to Children's ministry. Currently I am leading the children's ministry in Quy Nhon's Church. I just wish I had more resources. I have prayed that God would help me and I hope that you would answer this prayer. Christian students in Vietnam are very active. The problem is, we do not have a strong fellowship and few leaders. Because of that, many people have left the faith, ran after money and fame. This situation is affecting many churches and it hurts us to see our young people go this path. Please have a special programming focused on college students and their issues so that we can learn and be encouraged. Recently there have been many heretical teachings that had caused some to be unstable and others to stumble in their faith. We are awaiting the help of Nguon Song.

I thank God that He has allowed me to discover your website. I hope you, by God's love, would provide me with material regarding our Lord Jesus Christ so that my faith can grow as I continue to serve Him. Looking forward to receiving your assistance.

3. From PP - via e-mail

I used to be a Buddhist. Through the witness of a woman named Hang, I have accepted Christ October 5th, 2004. When I read the Bible, there are some passages that I don't understand. But today, God has given me a computer and by God's grace, I found Nguon Song's broadcast over the internet six months ago. I listen to sermons everyday. Sermons on 'the Vineyard Owner,' 'the Life of Joseph,' and 'Bible Reading with Commentary,' had really helped me. I always share what I learned to people who have just accepted Christ like me. I read Lev. 11:3-46 and I have no clue what it means. Can you help me? I'm very grateful to all of you who work with Nguon Song. May God bless you with His peace and health so that you can preach the gospel to many people, that they would believe in Him, and grow in the faith. By the way, I really enjoy listening to the Bible reading when the two men read. It is very clear and touching.

I enjoy writing to you. Writing letters doesn't only strengthen the relationship between listeners and the station, but it helps me feel closer to you. I appreciate the fact that you have new programming every year and that we are able to be kept updated with current events. Your programming is also very beneficial to all the people in Vietnam. Concerning the quality of your frequency, on 6/22/06 I was able to pick up your signal over the radio waves. Today, its quality is still strong, with out any distortion. Thank-you.

5. From PHT - via e-mail, Hai Phong

We are a small group of Christians in Hai Phong. Thank God that your programming on the internet has benefited our spiritual lives in a great way. May God bless you unlimitedly in your ministry. I do have a question regarding tithing. We know that tithing in the Old Testament was a law. In the early church, how did people tithe, and how should the church of today tithe? Please give us your instruction. Thank you.

6. From TLQ - via e-mail, Binh Thuan 1st e-mail:

I am a new listener to your programming. I want to become a child of God. In the past, my family went to church, but now they don't go any more. This saddens me. When I listen to Nguon Song to learn about God, my father yelled at me and both my parents don't want me to listen to your programming. This saddens me even more. Please pray for me. Thank-you.

2nd e-mail:

Thank you for your encouragement. I will continually trust in God. Please continue to pray for me. May God bless you.

7. From NGB - via e-mail

Do you have any resource talking about salvation for children? If there are some available, please send me some. Thank you and may God bless you.

8. From DBL - via e-mail

Hoping that you would continue to send me Bible study resources.

9. From MT - via e-mail, Da Nang

I am a Christian and a college student in Da Nang. I would like to join the Nguon Song Team and write programming. Please let me know how I can do this.

10. From TT - via e-mail

I love listening to the Women's Programming and also 'Basic Christianity.' I hope to receive your resources. May God continue to bless you and your ministry so that Nguon Song would continue to strengthen the faith of His children in Vietnam.

11. From DL - Via e-mail, Australia

I was wondering if I could get permission to download your programming. Please let me know. Thank-you.

12. From UTG - Via e-mail

I really would like to thank Nguon Song for helping me in reading and studying God's Word. I have accepted Christ as my Savior for a year now. I have also studied basic doctrine in the Old and New Testament. When I was in high school, I heard about Christ through my Catholic friends. When I went to college, I finally learned about protestants. I was wondering if the God of the Catholics and our God are the same. Why in the Old Testament, God was called 'Jehovah'? I am in a baptismal class in preparation for my baptism. How does a baptism work? I have never witnessed a baptism service.

13. From HD - Ho Chi Minh City

I have been a listener of your programming for a long time now, but I have not be able to listen consistently for many reasons. Since Christmas 2005, I have been able to listen to your program both in the mornings and evenings. With my old age, all I can do is listen to God's Word through sermons in order to remember His Word. Each time I listen to Nguon Song, I would take notes. If I had a cassette tape, I would record the programming, but it would not be complete. Recently, there was one evening when I tuned into your station, I heard a siren-like noise and went on throughout the programming. I would shut off my radio after 15 minutes and try to turn it back on again. The same sound continued. I was wondering if you could send me a copy of the song, 'Xin Cho Con Biet Lang Nghe.' I would like to make copies of this song and your programming schedules so that people in my small group could listen and follow along with the words. I have been listening to your programming called, 'Shelter in Life,' 'Basic Christianity,' and 'Meditating on the Word.' Could you send me a copies of these lessons? Thank you.

14. From BLT - Binh Thuan

We are from the Cham people, living in Binh Thuan. For many generations, we have never heard of salvation in Christ. Almost all of us have fallen astray into the darkness of the world. But ever since the Holy Spirit opened the eyes of our hearts, a few of us have come to salvation and accepted Christ as our personal Savior. With the prompting of the Holy Spirit, we have lived a life that glorifies God. Since we are in the minority, we are facing the unbearable power of darkness and have found ourselves in a difficult battle to shine God's light in our community. However, God has allowed us to stand firm. We long to be a witness for Christ to bring the Cham people into His kingdom. We are uniting our hearts to pray that God would have mercy on us and that He would open the doors for us to preach the gospel more freely. Thank God that FEBC has many people who are dedicated to winning lost souls through preaching the gospel in different dialects. We wish that our Cham people could listen to the good news through FEBC as well. We pray that God would bless FEBC Ministry and that it would continue to grow. We hope that in the future, there would be programming for Cham people from your broadcast.

15. From DVT - Binh Thuan

For a while now, I wanted to listen to God's Word through Nguon song but I do not own a radio. Now I have received a radio from Nguon Song, I would like to thank God and the benefactor for giving me this radio. This gift has helped me study God's Word and grow in my faith. May God bless your ministry.

16. From HD - Ho Chi Minh City (2nd letter)

Thirty years ago, I was a devout Buddhist. But this belief did not meet my needs so I looked for another faith. One day I heard a pastor preach a powerful sermon. It touched my heart so I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior for about nine years now. I have the privilege to learn God's Word through Sunday School every week. Every week there is a quiz and I really enjoy it. I go to two different churches on Sunday to worship God and listen to His word. I pray three times a day asking God to teach me, help me understand and memorize His Word and to remember hymns and other songs that are sung in church. This year I am 80 years old, my memory is fading, learning hymns are difficult, but I am blessed and am thankful to God for what I have. I'm thankful that God has given me a pocket sized radio. I just happened to turn it on and Nguon Song's Broadcast came up. I was so excited that I listened all the way until the end of the program. Then I started dinner. Thank God that He has given me a 4th radio that allows me to listen to Nguon Song and other stations clearly. And now I would listen to my radio until 10 PM before I start my dinner. I record each session so that I can listen to it again. As for the quality of the broadcast, at times it is perfectly clear. At other times, I can't hear a thing. At times I want to catch the broadcast at 5 AM, but I miss it because I get home from church late the night before. The other day, I was able to listen 'Science and Faith,' and I heard about vong tron xuat hien tren ruong lua. Please send me copies of your broadcast so that I can read it again and give it to my friends in my small group.
