Always do what’s right
‘If our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.’ 1 John 3:21 NKJV
When you wilfully do wrong, you experience anxiety, stress, and insecurity. ‘“There is no peace,” says the Lord, “for the wicked.”’ (Isaiah 48:22 NKJV) Whenever you choose a plan of action incompatible with what you believe to be right, you forfeit your peace of mind. For instance, a person may accept a job or duty that forces them to do something against their spiritual convictions, something that violates their conscience. Numerous women have faced the predicament of compromising their values so they can get a promotion or attain other advantages. To them at the time, it looked like their only option. ‘There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.’ (Proverbs 16:25 NIV)
This is when a strong spiritual foundation is essential. It takes faith and bravery to let your convictions direct your behaviour and your choices. The truth is that God is ultimately responsible for your advancement and promotion. His Word says, ‘No one from the east or the west or from the desert can exalt [promote] themselves. It is God who judges: He brings one down, He exalts another.’ (Psalm 75:6–7 NIV) Don’t think you can do right in your own power. Sometimes the temptation to manipulate or lie so that you can advance your job prospects is just too much to withstand. That’s when you need to draw on God’s strength. David said, ‘The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?’ (Psalm 27:1 NKJV)
Prayer: ‘Father, please keep me from falling into temptation, and deliver me from the Evil One. Help me to do what’s right.’

Hi there
If you live in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, or the USA you have access to a great Christian radio station, and a daily devotional.
Our mission is to make sure that everyone living in the Asia Pacific region also has that same blessing. And why shouldn’t they?
Today’s technology can be used to do a lot of the work, but there is still a need for people and money to make it happen. Our aim is to get our Life FM branded radio station on air locally, as well as making them available online for everyone anytime. Plus we print The Word for Today daily devotional (Renungan Hari Ini in Indonesian) and give away tens of thousands of copies into the region every year.
We hope this dream excites you and that you’ll join us in praying we can get more stations on air, and more copies of The Word for Today printed.

Radio
Helping local Christian people harness the incredible power of radio to have a positive impact in their communities is the mainstay of our ministry.
Radio gets behind closed doors to bring the light, hope and encouragement of the Gospel message to people right where they are.
We broadcast our youth focussed Life fm, (Laif FM, Laef FM) in Vanuatu, Cook Islands, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, and soon Fiji and Nauru. You can hear what that station sounds like right now with this link or by using the “Listen Now” button at the top of our website.
But these broadcasts aren’t without challenges. In today’s COVID crazy world we struggle to get expert technical support to our stations when they need it. It is hard enough just to ship replacement equipment when something breaks.
Please pray for our ministry and our local teams. We need God’s wisdom and provision as we seek to serve the beautiful people throughout the Asia Pacific region with the best Christian radio. And ‘the best’ is what they deserve!
The Word for Today
In 2020, thanks to your donations, we were able to launch a special 200 page, 12 month edition of The Word for Today in Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Cook Islands, Fiji, Samoa and Timor-Leste.
We did it all again in 2021 and added Nauru and an Indonesian language edition called Renungan Hari Ini. And we’ve continued to do it every year since.
And not to forget our team in Nepal have been faithfully producing the Nepali edition for many years.
If you are in one the nations listed above and you’d like a copy of the current edition, contact your local UCB team – you’ll find their contact details when you choose the nation from the Projects in the menu above. Or use our contact form and well pass it on.
The Word for Today is loved around the world for its simple Biblical truths and relevant teaching. A quarterly edition is also available in Australia (from Vision Christian Media) and NZ (from Rhema Media).
Online & Social
Even in the remotest island nearly everyone has a mobile phone. And while their village might not have running water or grid electricity, they do have YouTube and Facebook!
So if we are to reach people with ‘Christian media’, guess where we have to be.
Thanks to support from people like you we are able to build websites, develop a mobile App and help our local team develop Social Media strategies so they can effectively interact with their community.
Our App is free and customised for each nation. It has a custom radio stream and relevant content for that nation’s people including The Word for Today, the Bible in local languages, podcasts and a lot more.
Ideally we would like a Telecommunications partner so local people can use our app unmetered (without having to use paid data). Something we’d love you to join us in prayer about.

I am from Eastern Part of Nepal called Khotang. Currently I am doing ministry at Kathmandu. I am very much thankful to Message of Hope for providing The Word for Today. I got to know about this from one of my Facebook friends. Since that day I am a regular listener of daily devotion of “The Word for Today“. I am very much blessed by this post, which is very short and sweet to understand and share to others friends. From this devotion post, I learned so many new things, which became very useful for my ministry. Similarly, the weekly quiz has developed my reading habit of Bible. I am very much thankful to Message of Hope Nepal.

…you have no idea, how much impact God has wrought in my life through those anointed messages.
Those messages are sent straight from the throne room of the Almighty down to his chosen. I truly owe it to you all and I believe nothing in this physical world could match the wealth of heaven that is distributed every day through the programs that are aired.
I count myself most privileged person to reap its benefits just by tuning every morning. My daily routine was dependant on those power packed messages.

Over Christmas, we had a big Franklin Graham event and 50,000 attended. At this event they showed our video which we made in three days about former addicts who had been set free by Jesus. Many were touched and encouraged by it.
When we put our same video online, it got 700,000 views. I learned that you don’t have to be a specialist. You can be a mom and learn how to use these tools and you can make media and send messages out to share the Gospel with people all over the world. We post one new little video each day. On my website, most of our videos get 200,000 views.

The big cheese or ‘sir’! He’s the ideas man, dreaming big, coming up with “what if we…” and gathering the right people around him to make it happen.
Grant Kennedy
Projects Manager
Actually he’s more like: photographer, designer, administrator, builder, plumber, maker of things unheard of and fixer of things broken.
Steve Monro
Broadcast Development Manager
Fancy title, but really he’s a top bloke and tech whizz/geek who knows how to make the radio, studio, computers and stuff work really well.
Henry Peterson
Digital Content Specialist
Another fancy title, but if you want to talk websites and social media then this is your guy, also samoan muscles available for hire.
Rudy Oei
Liaison Officer
Part technician, part Mr Fixit, but
all nice guy. And it really helps he’s fluent in Indonesian when it comes to communicating with our teams in Indonesia and Timor-Leste
If I had to define ‘Trusted Christian Media’ and sum up what we do in a few words I would say…
We preach the Word and make disciples.
How? We use media.
