There is a story that has been passed down in my family through the years that is very precious to us. My German great-grandparents migrated to America from the Volga River in Southern Russia and settled in a farming community in central Oklahoma. Soon after, in 1889, they learned the Sabbath truth from an evangelistic series in their area, and embraced the Adventist message wholeheartedly. Nine years later, my great-grandfather became ill, and as he lay dying, he shared a dream with his family. He was in heaven and Jesus spoke to him and said, “Tell your family that they should get ready, because I’m coming soon.” His wife, my great-grandmother Susanna, asked him, “How soon?” And he responded, “I don’t know; it seems like in 100 years or so.” That was 1898, and today it’s “100 years or so.” My grandmother Mollie was a young girl then, and she never forgot that message. She passed it to my mother, who passed it down to me, and I’ve shared it with my children, and now with you. We know Jesus is coming soon—the signs are everywhere! And there’s no place I’d rather be than right here at Adventist World Radio sharing this wonderful news with the world! —Duane McKey, President Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTrJhLwhOPI
A ‘Glorious Morn’ in 2020
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySA5BfeTylU
The world hasn’t had much to celebrate this year. Weary with care and worry, it has never felt the need of a Savior more. That’s why Christmas is so meaningful to us this year. The words of the old song, “O Holy Night,” written more than 170 years ago, say it best: “A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices / For yonder lies a new and glorious morn . . .” That thrilling hope is what guides us at Adventist World Radio, and today we can rejoice and “fall on our knees” in gratitude for what God has done. It has truly been a year of miracles. This Sabbath is AWR World Baptism Day (more information below). People in countries all around the world will rejoice as they begin a new life in Jesus. And if that’s not a cause for celebration, I don’t know what is! In this short video, members of our AWR administration team share a few of their favorite stories from the past year. We love sharing what God has done! Thank you for making these stories possible—for helping us share this precious message as together we look to that “glorious morn!” —Duane McKey, President Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySA5BfeTylU
A Modern Prodigal Son | AWR360° Story
Luis Miguel’s parents were dedicated evangelical missionaries in Mexico, but growing up, he wanted no part of his parents’ religion. He had dreams to pursue that didn’t include God. Then his mother was diagnosed with cancer, and before Luis Miguel realized what was happening, she passed away. He was devastated, and now all he wanted to do was return to the God of his parents and share his newfound faith with others. Then one day, he got a text from a friend that contained a biblical message. It was none other than one of AWR’s cell phone evangelism presentations, and it was on the state of the dead. Luis Miguel was blown away! He’d never heard such a thing—and it was right in the Bible! Watch the video below and learn how God led Luis from evangelical preacher to AWR evangelist. “My only regret,” he says, “is that my mom didn’t get to see the change in me—but one day soon she will!” Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSiqaLm322Y
Presidents Report | December 2020
In the early 1860s, there was a gold-prospecting camp near Sacramento called Roaring Camp. It was comprised of only men except for one lone woman—Cherokee Sal. The story is told that this woman became pregnant and bore a son, but she herself died in childbirth. Heartbroken, the men decided to raise the child themselves, and that’s when the miracle transformation began. That tiny defenseless child changed the men of Roaring Camp from unruly, unkempt drunkards, to clean, respectable men. This month we remember another child born in humble circumstances—a child who changed not a camp, a town, or even a country—but the whole world. Because when Jesus comes into the heart, He changes everything. That is our message. The light that shines from Bethlehem to the Cross is what guides Adventist World Radio today. And the hope of His soon return is the best news of all! Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU9Xu-D1B8U
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
