What's Going On? July 2013

From Rex Morgan
Reaching out to the Latin American World

Some people are just fun to be around.

Is it their smile, the things they say, or that they have a great attitude about life?

That is what it felt like when Ubert Romero and Jose Castillo Jr. were recording Verdadero Vida, The Real Life, in the studio together.

In this radio message Jose shares some of the teachings of Jesus that really make us think, "What does Jesus believe are the most important things in life?"

In the second half of the radio message Ubert interviews Jose for greater insight and application.  Jose, with his calm and personal delivery, combined with Ubert’s enthusiasm are a great mix for our listeners.

We are blessed to have these talented men working together to bring life-changing messages to our listeners that tune into the weekly La Voz Alegre radio hour.

Remember last year’s Conferencia Nacional Juvenil, National Youth Conference in Cuba?  Well, here we go again! July 19-22

Lord willing we will be in Cuba with more than 250 young people that will travel from Cuba’s 16 provinces to attend the conference in Matanzas.

These young people will be travel across country by bus, flatbed trucks, and anything that has 2 wheels or more.  Last year some planned to arrive by train, but never did due to maintenance problems.  I only mention this to inspire you to partner with us in prayer for these young people.  We also have people traveling from Tennessee, California, Texas, and Florida to participate, teach, and inspire the youth of Cuba for Jesus.

What's Going On? June 2013

FROM REX MORGAN

Reaching out to the Latin American World

Listen, Watch, and Share

Have you ever wondered, “God, how can we multiply our efforts to share your Word?”

Last week, Alexander emailed from El Salvador with a special request, “Please send us radio programs that we can broadcast on our local radio station.”  He added, “For many years we have been listening, watching, and sharing the television program, Con la Biblia Abierta, With the Open Bible, with much success.  But, we have worn out all of the VHS copies teaching people about Christ.  We have used the tapes in home Bible studies and at church services too.”  Praise God! 124 television programs, in DVD format, are now on the way to Alexander. From these programs, he can pull the audio to transmit on the local radio broadcast. 

But we want to make it easier for Alexander, and Christians everywhere, to listen, watch, and share all the Christ-centered programs that we are producing and broadcasting

The dream: To develop a website where people can access and download all of our Christian media programming via their computer or smartphone. 

We invite you to take a brief peek at the website’s “coming attractions”.

Listen

Jesus enjoyed having people gather around his feet, listening to his words, and receiving hope for their lives.  As missionaries work in primitive countries, they learn the value of telling stories around the fire to the people in their village huts.  Today, we are blessed to bring Jesus’ true stories of hope to people listening around the world through various media platforms. People tell us they enjoy hearing the gospel on the radio program, La Voz Alegre, The Happy Voice.  This program’s magazine format has been well received. Topics include: Unforgettable Conversations with Jesus, Cooking with the Open Bible, Advice for Life, With the Open Bible, Biblical Archeology, Life in Perspective, and more will be scheduled for listening on the Web site.

Watch

As in El Salvador, and in many Latin American countries, the television program has been watched via broadcast channels, and also using VHS tapes and now DVDs.  Today several Latin American congregations watch them for instruction in Sunday morning Bible classes, and even worship.  We hear of families and individuals being strengthened and churches growing.

Soon the programs can be watched via our new Web site that will function through smartphones and computers.  Please pray for the launch of this incredible tool for the Lord’s kingdom.

Share

We love to share the Good News of Christ!  We want to freely offer the following :

• ·      A Spanish-language library of our practical and spiritual programing to help share the Good News with Latin Americans.
• ·      Enroll in a free Bible correspondence course with our partners at World Bible School.
• ·      Evangelists, who want to expand their media outreach, will be able to login, select a series of programs, and then share it through their own media outlets. 

People are hungry for Christ-centered programs that inspire faith, hope, and love. Thank you for partnering with us in prayer, finances, and encouragement. 

A special thank you:

·      Kok Hai Tan: Working on completion of the website through World Christian Broadcasting

·      Ernie Bates and Larry Crawford: Working to copy and mail hundreds of sets of Con la Biblia Abierta DVDs

Obstacles need to be prayed away!  The closer we get to launching this tool the harder Satan works to slow us down.  I listened to my grandson Braden sing via Facetime the other day, “My God is so big, so strong and so mighty there’s nothing my God cannot do!”

 We believe! We want others to believe too!

Reaching out to the Latin American World

 Cuba: 30 days, 43 souls responded to Jesus and were baptized

The Lord continues to bless the team effort with the church in Cuba.

* ​Evangelistic campaign

* Radio listener follow-up

* Within 30 days 43 souls responded to Jesus and were baptized.

​We rejoice with every one of our brothers and sisters in Cuba that are working so hard to respond to every radio listener with a World Bible School, WBS, course and more.

Radio: Exciting Response in Cuba

It is great to read the many letters of our listeners.  Some are corresponding directly with their WBS teachers in Cuba, which shows the deeper interest they have in ongoing Bible study.

Katiusha writes her WBS teacher Jose in Matanza, Cuba saying:

“I am writing to see if you got our 50 pesos we sent to encourage your ministry in spreading God’s word. Just let me know when you send me my second course."

In another letter Antonio writes, “God bless you.  I am writing to inform you that I am interested in starting the correspondence course of World Bible School that you offer.  I have already begun reading it since my brother has it and it has been a great blessing.  I would also like to receive the Bible course so that I may grow and be prepared. I am sure that it will be a great blessing to me."

Letters from radio listeners come to the P. O. Box in Matanzas, Cuba every month requesting the free Bible courses that is offered.  The requests have exploded as one person’s request then multiplies to many as family and friends learn about the course.

We are now planning this summer’s National Youth Conference, July 19-22 in Matanzas, Cuba. We request your prayers as our plans come together to bring the church's young people from across Cuba's 16 different provinces to experience a deeper knowledge of the Bible and to have great Christian fellowship with each other.

What can you help Cuba church with?

They requested:

1. Solar Powered Radios

Cost= $30.00

Acquiring radios and the batteries to keep them running is always a challenge in Cuba.  Now, you can help supply a special solar powered radio for just $30.00. or 10 radios for $300.00.

The first 10 will be given to Christians that open their homes every weekend to friends and neighbors to tune in. The ImpaX is more than a solar powered radio.   It will have a Spanish audio Bible and up to 500 hours of audio files that will include our first 100 radio hours of La Voz Alegre, The Happy Voice.

2. Scrubs for Cuba

Cost= $25.00

Dark colored scrubs embroidered with "La Iglesia de Cristo" are very appreciated for baptisms.

3.Sewing machines

Cost= $250.00Clothe and empower the community by donating to assist this Cuban Women for Christ Outreach

What's Going On? April 2013

FROM REX MORGAN

Reaching out to the Latin American World

Praise God! Thousands gather in Barahona, Dominican Republic

Within the range of our listening audience in Barahona, Dominican Republic, a historical event took place, the 26th Annual National Brotherly Fellowship Conference. Around 5,000 people who were full of enthusiasm and brotherly love attended the annual conference.

Just a few months ago in Barahona, Santo Feliz Ruiz walked us into this empty arena and said with faith-filled eyes, “Pray that in February we will be able to fill this place up with people, and may the glory go to God."  Praise God for answered prayers!

This particular event also marks the 50th anniversary of the churches of Christ in the Dominican Republic.

Producing radio programs that will reach people where they live is an ongoing education. 
The 2013 National Religious Broadcasters, NRB, Convention in Nashville confirmed our belief that the most important thing to focus on is the quality of our content.

Then, how our content is delivered depends on the needs of our target audience:

- Radio

- Television

- Internet using computers, tablet, phones

Making our content (radio programs) available through the Internet, via our websites, now gives people the opportunity to hear and respond to the programs via their computers or smart phones.

​While preaching in Barahona, Dominican Republic last November I was amazed to learn that many people, who have never owned a computer, are now accessing the Internet for the first time using a smart phone.

This phenomenon was confirmed at the NRB convention for people and societies in many countries of the world. Skip the computer and begin using the Internet on a smart phone. With this information in mind we are developing our website to effectively

work on many platforms: the smart phone, tablets, and computers.

Pray for these initiatives to help us reach even more souls for Jesus.

Radio: Messages of Hope for La Voz Alegre Gracias, Santos Feliz Ruiz! Vida en Perspectiva, is written and recorded by our Christian brother in Barahona, DR.

From the expertise of a Gospel Preacher and a Clinical Psychologist, Santos has recently finished recording 328 radio spots on topics such as:

·      Growing While Experiencing Temptation

·      The Blessings of Life's Problems

·      Fulfilling God's Plan for Your Life

·      Changing Your Way of Thinking

·      Find a Support Group

·      Ask God for Help

·      Being Real with Your Goals

·      Being Transformed by Truth

·      Cultivate a Healthy Life
