Ana’s heart was heavy. Her husband had left her just after the birth of their daughter, and she felt overwhelmed by the burdens of life to the point of despair. Seeing no way out and feeling abandoned and alone, depression set in, followed by the unthinkable: thoughts of suicide. But God had not forgotten Ana. He is “pitiful and of tender mercy” (James 5:11), and near to all who are hurting. In her darkest hour, God sent Ana a friend. Heidi had just begun listening to our AWR sermons on her cell phone through WhatsApp when she felt impressed to share them with Ana. That’s when things began to change. Ana’s problems didn’t disappear overnight, but she was no longer alone. God was with her, filling her heart with joy.

Their marriage didn’t stand a chance. She hated her husband and they fought constantly. Their home had become a battleground—a place of deep unhappiness, especially for their children. To make matters worse, her husband had adopted a strange new religion, which she came to loathe as much as she loathed him. One day, in a fit of rage, she yelled the unthinkable, and meant it: “I wish you were dead!” That’s when she saw her youngest child standing quietly in the background, a look of total desolation on his innocent face. In that moment, she realized the one she really loathed was herself. Could their marriage be saved or was it too late? Watch the video below and see how with God, all things are possible—and sometimes he uses Adventist World Radio to do it! —Duane McKey, President MB01BZ69OZ8ZSQ2 Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhQr5hYVwgQ

Below is a short video report on the situation facing our Center for Digital Evangelism in the Philippines. It is located just 20 miles from the Taal volcano that erupted earlier this week. You have probably seen the devastation in the news reports as the eruptions continue, but thankfully, the air quality has improved in the area where the center is located, and our young people are being allowed to return to work. I wish I could tell you this is the only upheaval in the world, but we know that “the whole creation has been groaning” under the weight of sin. However, in the midst of the hopelessness and despair that we see all around us, we have an opportunity to bring hope as we share the good news that one day soon, “Creation itself will be set free from its bondage of decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.” (Romans 8:21, 22) What a glorious day that will be! —Duane McKey, President MB01MGRWHWPJ5TG Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAg0DiRQ42c

Remi was lonely. Unlike most Maasai women in Tanzania, she’d had the privilege of a formal education, and now the government had sent her to a different town to teach. Far away from family and friends, she turned to the radio for companionship—and learned there was only one station—Adventist World Radio! Remi enjoyed the programs, but one day she heard a choir sing, and it was the most beautiful music she’d ever heard. But as hard as she tried, Remi never learned the name of the choir. Then she transferred to another city hundreds of miles away. More alone than ever, she accepted the help of a stranger. To her surprise, he played a recording of her favorite choir. When she asked him about it, he said the choir was in that very city—and he sang in the choir! Watch the video below to learn what happened next. God has surprising ways of leading His children to the knowledge of truth—and He often uses Adventist World Radio to do it! —Duane McKey, President MB01GGPLDQWGZFN Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoPJAOXx3l0

“Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!” (Matthew 25:23) I’ve always loved this text, and I hope that one day, Jesus can say those words to me. But there is one thing the verse doesn’t say: “Well done, good and successful servant!” Because God doesn’t demand that we be successful. He only demands that we be faithful. Success is up to Him. Below is a short video we recently filmed with Dr. Robert Lang and his wife, Wretha. Dr. Lang graciously offered to share his testimony of his experience with Adventist World Radio. Sadly, he unexpectedly passed away a few weeks ago, but what better way to honor his memory than by sharing the video of this faithful steward? One day soon, Dr. Lang will hear Jesus say, “You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!” What a day that will be! May that be our experience as well. —Duane McKey, President MB012QSUNQWGOPR Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qhcTgTjsOM
