M&T Updates: We’re Hitting the Air Waves!!

“So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call. May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do.”   2 Thes. 1:11

God has a lot of tricks up His sleeve!

In Isaiah 43:19, the Lord has Isaiah write this:

See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.

It seems that God is always doing new things. He’s got a lot of tricks up His sleeve and He has a very long sleeve!! Ever since we entered the P work, God has guided us down this pathway of ministry and there have been many surprises. And yes, sometimes we have wondered, How in the world will things continue to move forward? However, God always has a new thing that He is doing. And He is great at opening new doors too. Its like He is always making a new way through the wilderness for us.

And one of the new pathways that He has opened up for us is the radio. We had never even considered this avenue of ministry before, but God opened this door wide before us. And as we prayed about it, our faith totally prompted us to move forward in this new adventure to broadcast God’s precious Word into P-land in their language!!. Yes, by faith we felt that our Lord Owner Boss wanted us to go ahead with it. And once we began to move in that direction, well, He suddenly dumped everything right into our laps! The radio station, the radios for the people, the podcasting equipment, the editing equipment, and everything else. Yes, HE DID IT ALL!

And since the radios that are already distributed this year are only in the hands of believers, we thought we would start with the book of Colossians to give the P believers some of what THEY call “chunks of pork for their souls” So yeah, I’m about to start Colossians 3 with 20 podcasts already done. I crank out the podcast and Teresa helps me with the editing….so things are moving right along. All Glory to God!! Next year we hope to have an overview done for them from Genesis to Revelation, and that will be more geared toward the unbelievers. May God grant us the power to accomplish all these things as we move by faith.

So, just to let you know…that the teaching will be hitting the air waves sometime in March. We are excited about getting the book of Colossians out there for the beloved P saints. Thanks so much for your prayers in all this. Truly God is the One who has to make it happen.
