Be inspired by this medley of exciting stories, all of which are available in long form on our channel. 00:00 Perfecto Meet Perfecto, a pagan chief tucked high up in the Philippine jungles. Spiritualism and local lore ruled his life. His prize possession was his radio. Surprisingly, his music was replaced with Adventist World Radio's Bible messages. The Sabbath truth captivated his heart. Daily, the entire village gathered around his radio resulting in the whole village being baptized together. God's Three Angels' messages transformed Perfecto from a pagan chief into a Seventh-day Adventist leader who donated his own property to build the village a church. Watch the rest of Perfecto’s story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6k_9HthYEg 00:40 Mama Miembe Meet Mama Miembe in Tanzania, challenged by her pastor to use the upcoming radio evangelistic series as a witnessing tool, she carried her radio everywhere. Next to the town bar was her garden. As she tended to her plants, the radio's volume was turned up. This caught the attention of the bar owner and his patrons. Elya's drunken bar transformed into a Seventh-day Adventist place of worship. Elya's and 20 of his customers were baptized. Watch the rest of Mama Miembe’s story https://youtu.be/KxvAoJSiSYA 01:13 Pralad Meet Pralad, a witch doctor residing in the Himalayan Mountains of Nepal. Depression overcame him with his failure to heal his two dying sons through witchcraft. Providentially, his son Surendra tuned into AWR and shared it with Pralad and 17 other families who all decided to be baptized. Now, grateful to be out from under the spell of witchcraft and freed by Bible truth, AWR trained them to witness through their cell phones. Pralad, a witch doctor, was transformed into a Seventh-day Adventist cell phone evangelist. Watch the rest of Pralad’s story here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko5z7fnrVe4&t=3s 01:53 Wisam Ali Meet Wisam Ali. He was shot, stoned twice, and stabbed by a mob, but each time, angels saved his life. Wisam has translated our Adventist sermons into Arabic and sends them out through cell phone platforms. The domino effect is that many Arabs and entire congregations have become Sabbath keepers, baptized in the Jordan River. Wisam, a former Muslim, was transformed into the only Arabic speaking Seventh-day Adventist pastor in Israel. Watch the rest of Wisam’s story: https://youtu.be/n8DxkM99IAs 02:28 The Executioner Meet the executioner, a ruthless hitman who thought that God would never forgive him. The voice of a pleading victim haunted him long after it had been silenced in the Philippine jungles. Through his family's radio, God pulled at his heartstrings when he realized that he was the lost sheep. He studied, believed, and was baptized. Now armed with the gospel, a projector, and a radio, he has returned to those same villages. This is a real, modern-day Saul-to-Paul story. The executioner was transformed into God's lifesaving evangelist. Watch the Executioner’s transformation story here: https://youtu.be/hcIkp0U-rns 03:17 Ranja Meet Ranja the witch of Madagascar. She was dedicated to the devil as a baby. Witchcraft made her influential. Villages hired her to stop the rampant cow thieves from stealing their herds. Even though she was very powerful, could heal people, shut crocodile's mouths, and make bullets stop, she was miserable. When AWR played on the radio, the evil spirits had no control over her. She learned that Jesus is the ultimate power. After baptism, she started three Seventh-day Adventist churches. A spell casting witch was transformed into a church planting soul winner. Watch Ranja’s full story here: https://youtu.be/FkTQuT3kU-w 04:04 Doret Meet 16-year-old Doret from South Africa, a struggling teenager questioning her faith. She reluctantly joined TMI to preach an evangelistic series in Zambia. She was shocked to see so many of her attendees were baptized. This changed the path of her life forever. Doret is now studying to become a missionary. This doubting teen was transformed into a confident soul winner. Watch the full Zambia report here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNYGMXWaLG8&t=5s 04:35 Marius Meet Marius, an elder of the SDA church. He was inactive and lukewarm until he was introduced to cell phone evangelism. Burdened for his son Elmer who had been using drugs for 15 years, Marius simply forwarded the Bible recordings. Today, Elmer is baptized, drug-free, and has joined his dad as a cell phone evangelist spreading the word to thousands every week.

August 2023 Presidentโs Video: โHope in the Midst of Tragedy . . .โ
I was recently reminded again why we do what we do––why AWR invests time, money and resources into the preaching of the gospel in some of the most difficult places of the world. This past May, I was in Chernivtsi, Ukraine, with part of our AWR team and a group of volunteers. We were there for the Christ for Europe evangelism initiative, to bring hope to a country ravaged by violence and tragedy. Nightly air raid sirens could be heard, and we knew we weren’t just dealing with physical danger, but we were fighting a spiritual battle for souls. One night, I made a call for baptism and a young man came forward. He was crying profusely and shared the following story. A few months before, he and his family––his wife, son and daughter––were at home sitting down to supper, when out of nowhere, bombs hit their apartment building in quick succession. He woke up face down on the street with many broken bones. He was alive, but his entire family was gone. He sobbed as he said, “I wanted to die.” I had the opportunity to share with him that wonderful promise that one day soon, Jesus will return, and at the sound of the trumpet on that great resurrection morning, he will see his family again! What a blessed hope! This is why we do what we do at AWR. It’s why we invest time, money and resources, venturing into some of the most difficult places of the world, to share the best news of all: that Jesus is coming soon! Watch this video where I share a few of our Ukraine experiences and this young man’s story. What a joy it is to see the light of hope in people’s eyes when they understand that Jesus loves them and is coming again––and I love it when God uses AWR to do it! Yours in the Blessed Hope, Duane McKey

July 2023 President’s Video: โAmazing Results in Europe!โ
Something amazing happened this past May all across Europe, when churches united in the largest evangelism event ever attempted on that continent. A total of 38 countries participated, comprising three divisions, 30 unions and 1,530 preaching sites. What began with hesitation and doubts by many who thought evangelism in Europe wouldn’t work, ended with enthusiasm and plans to do something similar again! From Italy to Belgium, Poland, Germany and Ukraine, to Romania, Spain, Switzerland and the Czech Republic—just to name a few—churches in the most unexpected countries and locations united to proclaim the Three Angels’ Messages and call people to join God’s last-day church. Ellen White wrote many years ago: “There is a great work to be done in Europe. All heaven takes an interest not only in lands that are nigh and that need our help, but in lands that are afar off . . . Angels of God are moving upon the minds of people, and preparing them to receive the warning.” (Evangelism, p. 408) What a time to be alive! We must take God at His word and move forward in faith, believing He is working in the hearts of people not only in the remote jungles of the world, but in the concrete and steel jungles of today’s modern cities. Here is a short video shot on location, where Cami and I share a few thoughts on what we lived during those days in Europe, visiting and preaching at the different sites and sharing the good news that Jesus is coming soon. Yours in the Blessed Hope, Duane McKey
