“GREAT JOB!”

World Christian Broadcasting’s annual dinner was held in Franklin, TN, on April 11.  Over 500 people met at the Embassy Suites for an evening of great fellowship, great food, and to hear a great vision for the future.  One man who attended for the first time wrote this: “The evening was very well done: tasteful, thoughtful, reorienting, and an appropriate length.  Great job!” 

Andy Baker, Vice President for Development, spoke at the dinner.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

World Christian Broadcasting initiated a medical mission in Madagascar that benefitted more than a thousand people.  On March 4, 2013, 52 medical personnel—doctors, dentists, surgeons, and their assistants—gathered to begin work at two locations on the western side of Madagascar.  These professionals came from the USA, France, Switzerland, Italy, The Congo, Reunion Island, and Cambodia, and spent a week working together as if they had done so for years.

While the idea came from World Christian Broadcasting, the logistics were worked out through a non-profit organization, Partners in Progress, a group headed by Bill McDonough and his wife, Marie Claire.  The 52 medical people worked with medical personnel in Madagascar who were all pleased with the work accomplished.  In just a few days they treated more than 1,000 patients and filled more than 5,000 prescriptions. 

During the week, all 52 took time off to visit World Christian Broadcasting’s station in Madagascar, and were impressed by the great work that Kevin and Nancy Chambers have done to build and maintain that facility.  All gathered promised to pray that the delay in completing Madagascar World Voice will soon be overcome.

Two members of World Christian Broadcasting’s Board of Directors, Dr. Frank Harrell (a dentist) and Dr. Dan Davidson (a medical doctor), were among the 52. 

Our thanks are extended to all 52 who went, as well as Partners in Progress who rendered invaluable service and direction throughout the project.

SHARING THE MESSAGE 

Each year, World Christian Broadcasting is blessed to be offered the opportunity to present its message during various lecture programs across the US.  Early in May, 2013, we were honored to be asked to speak four times during the Pepperdine Bible Lectures in Malibu, California.   

During class hours, Charles Caudill, Andy Baker, and Gayle Crowe each approached a different aspect of our ministry through presentations titled, “Far Away Places with Strange Sounding Names,” “I Never Promised You a Rose Garden,” and “Different Strokes for Different Folks.”  In addition, Andy Baker and Maurice Hall told the World Christian Broadcasting story during a luncheon hour on the first day of the lectures.

For your benefit, we are making available the text of Charles Caudill’s presentation, “I Never Promised You a Rose Garden."  On these pages are to be found amazingly heart-breaking facts and figures about the extent of persecution happening to Christians worldwide today.  Feel free to download the words of this speech and spread it freely.  Click here.

A special treat this year was the presentation of a beautiful plaque honoring World Christian Broadcasting’s 30 years of broadcasting from Anchor Point, Alaska.  Mike Cope, Pepperdine’s Director of Ministry Outreach and Lectureship Director, and Rick Gibson, Vice President for Church Relations, made the presentation.  The plaque reads,

 Charles and Kathy Caudill and Maurice Hall listen as Rick Gibson and Mike Cope present the “”Distinguished Ministry Award” on May 1. 

 “Pepperdine University presents the Distinguished Ministry Award to World Christian Broadcasting: Celebrating the work God has done through this ministry since 1983 to broadcast the Good News of Jesus to people throughout the world; giving thanks for their new outreach in Madagascar; anticipating the ways they will continue to connect with people who otherwise might not know the most important story of all.  Presented on May 1, 2013, at the 70th Annual Bible Lectures.”  The plaque was signed by Andrew K. Benton, President of the University, Rick Gibson, and Mike Cope. 

The Pepperdine Lectures have become a focal point for fellowship and encouragement of mission works of many varieties.  We are both honored and humbled that such a tribute would be presented for the work God is doing through this ministry.
