Something unprecedented is happening right now on the island of Mindoro in the Philippines. In the next few days, more than 100 communist rebels and their families will come out from their hiding places in the jungle mountains to start a new life with Jesus. Adventist World Radio has been working with the Philippine government to negotiate their surrender. They will walk straight into an Adventist church where AWR will be waiting to welcome them, along with the Philippine military and the major news networks from across the country. It will be a historic event! These dear people will remain on the church grounds for a week while they receive counseling, training, and the tools necessary to begin a new life—including funds and an acre of land! The best part is that every night, AWR will hold evangelistic meetings and the military will attend along with these former rebels and their families. I can’t wait to see what God will do next! This is the story of Tarin, one of these former rebels, and his journey from assassin to a follower of Jesus. God is reaching these hardened men even in the most remote mountain jungles—and He’s using Adventist World Radio to do it! —Duane McKey, President MB01V8IS36Z4P8B Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlu_lNcFI90

In Acts 2:36-38, Peter explains to the gathered crowd that the very Jesus they just crucified is really the Son of God sent to save the world. Horrified, the people reply, “What shall we do?” And Peter says those famous words, “Repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of sins.” That’s our same message and commission today: preach and baptize. It’s what AWR is all about—and it’s what God’s last-day people are called to do! In this short video, I share one man’s incredible journey, and how God is calling His Church—you and me—to respond to that same calling today and say, “I will go!” —Duane McKey, President MB01JTRLQ2SGRM7 Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DyFJ_9wvNE

Maria’s first husband was a respected pastor, but he was cruel and abused her until she wanted nothing more to do with God and the church. She walked away vowing never to return. Her second husband was a kind and loving man with whom she had two children and built a happy home. But alas, it would not last. He was in law enforcement, and one day they were ambushed by drug traffickers and he was gunned down as he protected her. Overcome by grief, Maria did the unthinkable—she sought the help of a medium to contact what she believed was the spirit of her dead husband. This brought her comfort at first, but what happened next will amaze you, because this is not a story about a set of tragic events, but an incredible story of redemption and forgiveness. Watch this video to see how God intervened—and He used Adventist World Radio to do it! —Duane McKey, President MB015H0SFUWS8SP Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLOlsYBUiQU

One thing we especially enjoy during our staff meetings at Adventist World Radio is recounting the stories we receive on a daily basis from around the world. There is rejoicing and praise—and sometimes tears—as we share what God is doing and the lives that are being changed through the ministry of AWR. Below is a video compilation with just a few of these stories. They include: Madagascar: The powerful witch doctor who found refuge from the spirits by listening to AWR. Namibia (Part One): The son of a priest whose life spiraled out of control after his sister’s death, but now is a powerful evangelist for Jesus. Namibia (Part Two): How God answered a prayer for rain right in the nick of time—twice! Mexico: A young mother, abandoned by her husband and on the verge of suicide, finds hope in AWR’s cell phone messages. Tanzania: A cattle herder whose highlight of the day was listening to his radio at night—until one day he discovered a program in his own dialect that changed his life. These stories and many more are the reason we exist as a ministry—to share the gospel of the kingdom with every nation, kindred, tongue and people. What a privilege and what a responsibility!
