November 2020 Presidental Message | AWR360°
When Jesus spoke to his disciples about end-time events, He mentioned a sign that can’t be overlooked. He said the gospel would be “preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations.” What seemed impossible just a few years ago has become a reality—the gospel to the whole world is not a future event anymore—it’s being preached right now! Adventist World Radio is launching the Three Angels’ Messages through the airwaves—and on all social media platforms—24 hours a day, seven days a week! These messages go everywhere air goes, covering the whole world. We never know who’s listening until we receive unexpected news from the most remote and impossible areas. Last week we learned something astounding—the dictator of an unnamed country is watching AWR—and now his Commander General has joined in, along with the witch he hired to protect him! In this short video, I briefly share this amazing story. Be sure to watch for future updates! I love it when God surprises us, when He uses our humble efforts in the most spectacular ways! —Duane McKey, President Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Omz5cZner10
