What's Going On? April 2012

From Rex Morgan


Just Who Is Listening?
“Wow, I have recorded a lot of preachers and religious programs, but none has impacted me like these segments on Biblical Archeology”. These are the words of
a radio-recording technician that was recording our programming. Even before we
have placed these radio segments on the air they are having an impact in people's lives.



He continued by telling us, “I question everything, that’s just the way I am. But, you are teaching that these people and events of the Bible are real historical figures. These programs are really needed in Latin America where there is so much doubt concerning God and the authenticity of the Bible.” We plan to follow his advise on getting these segments on the air with our other programming just as soon as we can.

We are receiving requests for Bible courses from our listeners weekly. During the last month radio listeners as far away as India and Spain listening to our shortwave broadcast on WINB contacted us. It is amazing to be able to reach so far with Christ’s message.

A little closer to home, we continue to receive many requests for Bible courses each week through our television broadcast, Con La Biblia Abierta and La Voz Alegre. Our radio broadcast to Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico on Trans World Radio, is enjoying a growing listening audience. I want to share with you just one of the many letters from Cuba to help you understand the power of casting the net of the Good News of Jesus Christ. This and many other letters are being received at the P.O. Box in Matanzas, Cuba.

Beloved Brothers,
May the grace of God rest upon your lives forever. My name is Reinaldo. I am 28 years of age, I am a doctor, general practitioner, and a faithful listener of Trans World Radio. I am writing to inform you that I am interested in the Bible course they are offering through the station. Well, I desire to grow spiritually and increase my knowledge in a wise manner for the purpose of growing the ministry. Personally I work with many people who not only require healing of the body but, also the soul, which is why I humbly ask you to help me by sending me some training literature. Each home visit, and every person God puts in my path, will receive the rich blessings and the magnificent treasures that you share with me in the Lord.
I send an affectionate greeting to you all in Christ,
Dr. Reinaldo


Thank you to our follow-up team in Cuba! This team is headed by Tony Fernandez, sponsored by Herald of Truth. Also, World Bible School is now supplying literature to assist with the follow-up too. The blessings of ministries working together will bring great results.
“Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit and the bond of peace”.

Brazil: We Went, We Learned

Promoting the production and use of media, to reach the lost in Brazil, is very exciting. In our recent travel to Brazil we learned many things from our meetings in Belo Horizonte, Itu, and Recife.
- Portuguese is not Spanish! Yes, while we already knew that, we "really" know it now.
- We became acquainted with the potential shortwave audience and other forms of
media where our future Portuguese daily programming can be used to reach the
lost. Shortwave will be effective in reaching the rural areas of Brazil.
- Throughout Brazil, Community Radio Stations, reaching about a 1 or 2 miles
radius are free or funded through donations.

- The Internet is used extensively throughout Brazil giving us a different audience through computers and smart phones.
- Television Program, Abra a Sua Biblia, Open Your Bible, produced and hosted by F.H. Gates and Antenor Gonçales continues to be broadcast. Segments of this program can be captured for our radio programming and broadcasts.




Join us in continuing to pray for the development of our partnership with the church in Brazil so that God can multiply our combined efforts to have an even greater impact for the Lord through media in Brazil.

What's Going On? March 2012

From: Rex Morgan


Brazil and World Christian Broadcasting
God Has Plans!

As we share His message each day we pray that our plans are His plans. Brazil is a nation of 192,376,496 souls; that’s the 2011 official Brazilian government’s estimate. Wow! That’s a gigantic number.That’s a number that can only be reached using every opportunity possible to share the message of Christ.

What would a radio broadcasting partnership with our Brazilian brothers and sisters mean for those who are yet to hear the gospel? While God knows His plans, he calls on us to step out by faith to discover all the possibilities.

Today, the vibrant Brazilian church is led by elders, deacons, and evangelists working side by side with missionaries. So we ask, how much more would be accomplished by adding a daily radio hour in Portuguese throughout Brazil? Will someone tune in that has never considered Jesus as his or her personal Savior? This is our hope.

To accomplish this, we travel to Brazil. We are meeting with as many key members of the church, missionaries, and professionals who are using broadcasting in Brazil as we can. The evangelistic use of television and radio throughout Brazil has a long and wonderful history, with amazing results. F.H. Gates, a 32 year veteran missionary in Brazil has volunteered to “bring us up to speed” on the church's use of media in Brazil. He has served as co-host of the Portuguese television program Abra Sua Biblia with Antenor Gonçales for more than 15 years.

World Christian Broadcasting is now in search of an effective broadcast format, writers, translators, radio speakers, music, and more for Brazil. We’ll go there to listen and to learn, so that we can discover the best way to touch the hearts of the Brazilian people.

Your prayers are greatly needed as we step forward by faith to discover God’s plan for a partnership with the Christians in Brazil and World Christian Broadcasting.

What's Going On? February 2012

FROM REX MORGAN
Reaching out to the Latin American World
A New Generation, A New Television Program For The Future:
Viva Vida
​
By Luis Estrada
Producer-Host
Christian Productions International (CPI) is moving forward with the television ministry. For years, Con La Biblia Abierta, has been the TV program used to win souls for Christ. It continues to be used to its maximum potential for the glory of God. Our new television program, Viva Vida, is now being developed and is based on the needs of this current generation.

Now there is a new generation of lost souls that have grown up with satellite TV, the Internet, reality programming, and instant messaging. These people want sincere answers to their questions. Viva Vida is if focused on reaching this generation for Christ.

Want to join in on the fun? Click Picture Below

The following highlights the direction of the new television program:

Pilot Program Goal: January 2012 we began this great task by filming the pilot program. The thirty-minute pilot program will be made up of short segments, three to four-minutes, in a magazine style format. Each of these concise segments will deliver a complete message related to the overall Christ-centered theme of the program.

Focus: Each segment will deliver the Gospel of Christ, focusing on attracting the "unchurched" population to think about God. The intent of this program is to reach out to the lost. The quality must be such that a person not looking for God will be drawn to the program, choose to watch the program, and understand the love of Christ.

Elements: Some examples of segment elements under development that use every day life to teach about Christ are: Hispanic cultural segments, cooking/recipe segments, financial advice segments, family advice segments, health segments, Church of Christ ministries exposure segments, etc.

Media Outlets: Different media outlets will be utilized to distribute the message to people: television, Youtube, podcasts, downloads, and more…

Upgrades: Programs will be edited with closed captioning and/or subtitles, for the benefit of the hearing impaired, as well as, an aid for those using the program as an evangelistic tool.

Outreach: Development of a parallel website, Facebook, and twitter accounts to enhance the outreach potential for each person in our new audience.

Production Goal: After field testing the pilot, the program will be filmed and edited on the schedule of a series, or more, completed on a yearly basis.

Reaching Cuba Through Radio

Direct from Cuba and to a loving welcome at the Miami International Airport in January

Recently, I have been sharing with you the efforts to reach Cuba through radio. Going to Cuba, asking and listening to the advice of our brothers there have brought about our recent success.

Paving the way for us on radio in Cuba historically has been the Herald of Truth. They have given us guidance both from within Cuba and from their ministry based in Abilene, Texas.

While many of you know of their outreach over the years, you may not have been able to meet Tony Fernandez. He has been a vital part of leading a follow-up team of evangelists in Cuba that respond to radio programs produced by Timothy Archer, Lea La Biblia, and Juan Monroy, Heraldo de la Verdad. We have also been blessed by Tony’s efforts as he has included the listeners of our radio program La Voz Alegre in the efforts of his follow-up team.

This spirit of fellowship in our common cause to share Christ is enabling us all to reach more souls. We thank the Herald of Truth for their vision in reaching the lost.

Tony plans to be in Abilene, Texas and Harding University during a visit to the USA. If you get a chance to meet him please encourage him and the Herald of Truth ministry.

Don't pass up the opportunity!

What's Going On January 2012

WONDERFUL NEWS!

Traveling to the mission field involves a lot of prayer, planning, and shipping
those basic necessities that will help the missionary live and share the message of Jesus in a foreign land.

I remember arriving with Brenda and our two young children in Papua New Guinea, PNG, in December of 1977. Although we had arrived, it would be months later before our belongings would. Our earthly “essentials” had been very carefully packed into one small wooden crate and four 55 gallon metal drums, that were welded shut. We waited with great anticipation for their arrival. Across the Pacific Ocean they floated from exotic port to port.

The day finally arrived, our ship had come in. We were like children on Christmas morning opening the crate and barrels; we felt like a piece of home had followed us to the mission field.

We are now filled with that same anticipation! World Christian Broadcasting has shipped their technical “essentials”. The final pieces of this enormous technology/broadcasting puzzle, the transmitters, have finally been packed, loaded on the ship in Houston and has sailed for Madagascar. Each of the three transmitters is packed in shipping containers the size of a semi trailer. This is a much larger load than my shipping crates and barrels sent to PNG in 1977, but the anticipation of their arrival is just as great. Once the transmitters are installed we will be a part of sending the Gospel, via this new station, to all of: Latin America, the Arab world, Africa, India, and Europe. For the very first time, the Gospel will be made available to all of the world through a broadcasting signal. This will give every individual on our planet access to the hope through Jesus Christ.

This is marvelous! For me, this is a complete turnaround in media outreach from my former 1977 Papua New Guinea experience, one government radio station and no television. Rather than spending two and a half days to walk to a remote village to share Jesus, God has gifted us with the capability to use media to span the globe with His message. It is amazing how God's plans come together.

More exciting plans for 2012 include:
• Cuba and Dominican Republic Radio Listener Seminars
• Launching our daily 3 hour radio broadcast from Madagascar with
World Christian Broadcasting. Our prayer is that the station will be
ready in March or April.
• Begin new television production of Viva Vida this month
• Begin developing radio programs for Brazil to be broadcast from Madagascar
• Continue the training of talent for radio and television production
• Develop the strongest relationship possible with follow-up teams both foreign
and domestic
• Partnering with other ministries that help us share Christ's message to our
world
