God Works Through Anything, A Miracle Through Adventist World Radio

As you read this, I just want you to know that God can use you to make a great impact and to do something BIG, even if you don't think that you are able. As a matter of fact, you are never able, HE always is.

Ben Schoun, president of AWR wrote the following:

"Adventist World Radio broadcasts to a number of countries where people do
not have freedom to worship according to their consciences. In fact, many
times the people in these places suffer great persecution for following the
Christian faith. In one such place-- which will remain nameless for the
security of the people involved--Christianity had not penetrated at all, and
the government wanted to keep it that way. It is a very isolated area made
up of tribal people who only followed tribal and ancestral religions. The
strong determination by the government is reflected by the fact that one man
recently was shot dead trying to go to this area without proper permission.
In spite of the road blocks and the special permits required for anyone to
go into this area, AWR received piecemeal information that a large number of
people were listening to the AWR radio programs. The radio waves had jumped
over the soldiers, the police, the roadblocks, and all the efforts to keep
these people from being "tainted" by influences from the outside world,
including Christianity. That is cause for rejoicing in itself. But there
is more to the story.
Just within the last two months AWR received a confirmed, reliable report
that told the following experience. There were six different tribal
villages in mountainous regions that had absolutely no contact with each
other. They live in mountainous regions. The individual who brought out
the report talked with the chiefs of each of the six villages, and each of
them told the same story without awareness of events in any of the other
villages.

Each chief told that some strangers whom they did not know had come to their
village. These strangers were tall and had an aura of bright light about
them. These bright beings gave the chief in each village a radio. They
showed the chiefs how to use the radio and then carefully showed them how to
tune the radio to hear the Adventist World Radio programs. They told them
the frequency and the time of the programs. After a few words of
encouragement, these strangers suddenly disappeared and the village people
never saw them again. In each village, unbeknown to the other villages, the
people began to listen to the AWR program, gathering around that radio every
day. The reporter said that these village people are now very devout
believers. They keep the Sabbath and worship while listening to the radio.

Our AWR producer for this area said, "I must believe that this is the
angels who care for these people. It is unbelievable, but we must believe. I had
goose bumps all over my body when I heard this report."
hew! What do you think? Pray for these people. Just identify them as the
people to whom angels gave radios. I'm sure the Lord knows who they are."
Praise His Name.

I hope you enjoyed it, it's an amazing story. Remember God can use anything to make an impact on His behalf. He can use you.
