Pacific Partners' radio hosts are trained to
interact with their listeners live on air
| |
In the Islands religious traditions are strong and there is little Bible teaching or pastoral care. Our radio hosts encourage their listeners to ask questions, share their prayer needs, and tell their stories over the radio, as they seek to discover more about Jesus Christ.
Our hosts are not theologians.
But they have experienced the love and power
of Jesus Christ in their own lives -
and they want their listeners to experience the same!
When people call the station and speak on the air, our hosts always ask - "What does the Bible say about that? Only God's Word will help us, so let's be sure that what we are saying is from Him!" And other listeners begin to phone in with Bible verses and applications and more questions . . .
and so the seeking begins!
Deuteronomy 4:29 "But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul." As our hosts share their "spiritual journey" openly like this, more and more listeners are becoming hungry to know and follow Christ.
As someone once said
"We are like a beggar helping other beggars find bread!"

If you have donated to make this camp possible
Thank you very much
| |
Our radio hosts are already sharing many of the practical things they learned from the Bible with their listeners. We are praying we can run the same retreat/training course later this year for our staff in the Solomon Islands.
We still need US$/AU$ 800(NZ$1100) to pay for the the Tonga camp expenses - Please [ donate ] via Network for Good
 This investment in the
training and encouragement of our staff
is helping them win and disciple their
own people for Jesus Christ.
Thank you for helping. God bless you.

PS: I planned to visit Lina [ read her story ] while in Tonga, but I had to fly home a day early. I'll try and see her next time.
