What's Going On? April 2014

World Christian Broadcasting 2014 Promo

Facebook, Twitter, Google+ for JESUS

Hot Topic Focus for NRB 2014 

Digital Media Summit

This year's top takeaway ideas:

Social Media:
  • The Internet is shifting to mobile: 45% of the world will have mobile phones by 2016.  This means that we should develop our websites with mobile in mind first.
  • Amplify what we do via social media.
  • People trust friends and family, not news.
  • In posts, creativity, authenticity are important.
  • Post when your friends are on Facebook.
  • Content is king! Posts should be short, timely, and visual.
Quality across all platforms:
  • Improve quality listening and viewing experience.
  • People don't like to wait. Remember the 2 second rule for waiting.  Within 5 seconds you can loose 50% of the audience.
What does all this mean in the context of what we are producing and broadcasting
these day?
    Our radio magazine format is a perfect platform for many short radio messages that can be shared across Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Pinterest, and more.  We will post regularly to these social networks.
How can you help share the gospel with Latin Americans using social media?
Go to thehappyvoice.org or lavozalegre.com and click on LISTEN, then select a radio series and message. While the message is playing "like it" on your favorite Social Network listed above, and ask your friend to SHARE it with their Latin American friends.






Disappointing News from Guatemala


Rick Harper, of Health Talents International, sent us this report on baby Seidy's eye exam:

Sadly, Seidy's condition could not be corrected...sorry.

Being born premature, the overexposure of oxygen in the incubator damaged the nerves in her eyes and it has now been too long for any correction.

Our disappointment is no match for Seidy's family. But, we know God has a plan for her and will guide her as He wills.

Let's remember Seidy and her family in our prayers.

What's Going On? March 2014

Share the Words of Jesus With Our Spanish-Speaking Friends

Roberto Pino Shares a Listener 
Update from Cuba

Roberto Pino directs the training of preachers in Cuba, serves as an elder, and is in charge of the follow-up of our radio listeners.

He writes: “We continue to receive reports of a growing audience in Cuba and are sending each listener the Bible course:
¿Qué Dice La Biblia? What Does the Bible Say?

Then, those who want to continue studying enroll in the lessons from Larry White: Cursos Bíblicos para Obreros Cristiano (Bible Courses for Christian Workers).

In a short time, we now have a whole lot of students studying and have put them in contact with local congregations everywhere.  The truth is that the radio program is a great blessing.”

Plans are being made now for Rex Morgan, Jose Castillo Jr, Gregory Huffine, and Jason Shepherd, to travel to Cuba in May to train evangelists that will meet us in Havana. We will conduct a workshop on teaching how to write and produce audio messages to further their effectiveness in their local ministries and with our radio listeners.

Seidy and her Grandmother 
wait for Seidy's eye surgery.
Remember Baby Seidy's story about her blindness from our December report? An update from Health Talents International:

Seidy is on our patient list and Dr. Sierra has been in touch with her. Until the US surgeon sees her on March 8 or 9, we won't know the precise day of her surgery or whether or not it can be done.

Julie Wheetley is leading that team and will be at Clinica Ezell that week and will keep us posted. If I learn anything new, good or bad, we'll let you know.

Keep praying!

Let's keep Seidy, the possibility of her receiving her sight, the doctors, and her family in our prayers.

The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.                                                              Matthew 11:5



Our dream is to make the saving message of Jesus available to all who seek Him. We are working to accomplish this through the use of the media and partnerships with local churches of Christ and their ministries.
