There is a lot of uncertainty, anxiety and fear going around the world nowadays. Some is warranted, much is exaggerated. So, what do we do? Well, what we’ve always done—take it one day at a time, put one foot in front of the other, and continue to create and broadcast our daily programs. See, the world is listening—and more people are listening when they’re looking for answers, for hope, for the light at the end of the tunnel.
The signal from MWV is exceptionally strong this season, reaching far beyond the expected footprint. This month I received feedback from listeners in Brazil, Germany and New York who picked up our broadcast loud and clear! A listener from Yemen wrote, “God’s peace, mercy and blessings be upon you… I’ve been listening to your station and your Christian purposes that seem to be successful… you believe in Jesus… we believe in Jesus too, although we differ on who he is… I keep listening to your programs that speak about Christ Jesus, son of Mary.”
Listeners continue to tune in to our 24/7 website streaming and many choose specific programs on our Sound Cloud platforms. The most accessed files are on the topics of relationships, depression, and suicide. Our Facebook page continues to grow. We regularly interact with over 16,000 people from all over the region. People obviously like our radio so much that they want to work for us. In the last few weeks, I received half a dozen messages from people in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf asking if we have job openings. A woman wrote, “I love your programs and will be honored to join your team…”
We give glory to God that our programs are touching people’s lives, especially at this junction when life is taking a sharp turn, and nobody knows where to go. We keep going by faith, doing what we are called to do—to sow the seeds and to share the love of Jesus with everyone. The world is listening, and we will keep talking!
“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” (Gal. 6:9)
