An Update from The Spanish Radio Ministry
In the past article we shared the amazing response we have had since publishing the Gospel Films in our App. At that time our partners at Christian Productions were planning to boost more episodes of the four gospels in video on Facebook with a link back to our App, which they did during the month of December. The focus of the paid advertisements was on the birth of Christ. Up to this date, the responses such as comments, likes and shares continue to grow exponentially, and our App, website and programs continue to expose thousands of people. What a blessing!
We have begun to receive messages in our WhatsApp number. Some of those contacts found us through the Cuban Package. As previously mentioned in an article in October of last year, the Weekly Package is a compendium of movies, shows, series, novels, cartoons recently broadcast by international television stations, which circulates throughout Cuba on the support of a hard drive of approximately 1 terabyte. This system includes a religious section, for people who are going through adversity and are seeking meaning and hope in life. In Cuba, a distribution network has been created that allows this package to be delivered to Cuban homes every week. La Voz Alegre one-hour program and diverse shorter programs are included in the “package.” Amazingly, people are finding us there.
Other contacts have heard our broadcast from MWV. Recently, we have had contacts from Cuzco Perú, Mendoza Argentina, Guadalajara México, Los Pueblos Panamá and Naron Spain.
During the last month of 2023, we have been working on improving our listener experience in both La Voz Alegre one-hour and half-hour programs. We know “the world is listening” and we would like for them to consider our program among their favorites. We had a meeting on December 28 to plan for the year ahead, and brainstorm ways to improve the presentation of the program. Here is what we came up with:
1. Try, as much as we can, to get more up-close and personal with our listeners. Our first attempt occurred on the first of the year; we dedicated the whole program to present the members of our team and their role in La Voz Alegre. Even though we are separated by geographical distance we want them to feel that we are there for them and wish them well. We also want them to know that we pray for them and are willing to pray with them.
2. Incorporate a section of prayer where we could, at least once a week, minister to the needs of the listeners. We are already praying for them daily, now we want to receive their prayer requests and take the time to pray for those during the broadcast.
3. We want to add to our programing, interviews, and discussions around topics of interest in Latin America.
4. Finally, God willing, we will be airing new programs, which will be the topic of our next update.“…pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored…”
2 Thessalonians 3: 1.
