Listeners Being Impacted by Jesus
We received the following testimony from Rio in Timor Leste, where he has been visiting people, and they have shared some amazing things… Luis Apin, a longtime listener who works in Korea, has accepted the Lord. Not only he, but his youngest brother has also accepted the Lord and is a member of the VfC congregation. He is working in Korea, and last trip brought around 30 copies of Today’s Devotional, which he distributed to his friends who work there. However, he recently returned to Timor Leste for a vacation and suffered a heart attack while playing soccer, which caused a blood clot in his chest. The first time he was in critical condition, he was unconscious, but thanks to the swift intervention of the medical team, he was saved.
Luis and Rio at the Hospital
I have visited the hospital twice to pray for him and share God’s love with his family, who are waiting for him. We pray for his full recovery and his return to Korea. Every time he comes to visit me, he always asks for my prayers and discusses some spiritual issues, and I am becoming a place for him to raise questions.
Melly Beduku is a longtime listener and feels blessed by the radio ministry. She always hears worship songs, and her heart is touched. Until one day, she met a servant of God from AOG. She took the courage to ask about Christianity based on what she had heard on Radio Voz. Pastor Moises shared the gospel with Melly Beduku, and she accepted Jesus and continues to faithfully listen to Radio Voz.
Rio, Melly & her husband at their wedding
She was a widow and living with a widower without marriage. I had always asked them to have a legal marriage in church, praise God, after a long time, they finally agreed to get marry. I was present for their happy moment.
Amalia is a longtime listener. I met with her and shared God’s Word with her and prayed for her. She is very grateful to have Radio Voz with her every day.
Amelia and Rio
When I met her, She thanked me and encouraged me to continue spreading the Good news through Radio Voz.

Health Care and Spiritual Health
A short testimony from Lazarus-A young nurse.
Lazarus is a young nurse and a new reader of TWFT. He started his devotional life not long ago but when I asked him about it, he said..”It really makes sense to me, but not only that, it’s so meaningful and I am delighted with this new journey. Keep me in your prayers.” See picture of Lazarus below.
This is a short testimony from Rose, a nurse.
“Since I started having personal devotions through The Word for Today three years ago, I felt a big difference in my Christian life. I felt empowered, I felt motivated to share my faith with others. I have the hunger for God’s Word. I felt delighted and had inner joy within me. When my In-law noticed this, she asked where she could get a copy.
I gave her a copy and she started reading and having her personal devotions. She also found it very helpful and encouraging. We use TWFT for our family devotions. We are all happy with our Christian experiences and journey.” See picture of Rose below.

Inspiration for you from…
Your past does not disqualify you
‘Her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown Me much love.’ Luke 7:47 NLT
The Bible says: ‘One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to have dinner with him… When a certain immoral woman from that city heard He was eating there, she brought a beautiful alabaster jar filled with expensive perfume. Then she knelt behind Him at His feet, weeping. Her tears fell on His feet, and she wiped them off with her hair. Then she kept kissing His feet and putting perfume on them. When the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, He would know what kind of woman is touching Him. She’s a sinner!”’ (Luke 7:36–39 NLT)
Then Jesus answered his thoughts. What did Jesus tell this Pharisee? The same thing that He is saying to you today: your past does not disqualify you from worshipping God. ‘I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown Me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love.’ (Luke 7:47 NLT)The depths of sin from which she had been lifted caused her to rise to heights in worship that this Pharisee couldn’t understand.
If there is a worship leader in Scripture, it’s David. Looking back, he writes: ‘I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined to me, and heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit… and set my feet upon a rock… He has put a new song in my mouth—praise to our God; many will see it and fear, and will trust in the Lord.’ (Psalm 40:1–3 NKJV)
So, the word for today is—you are qualified as a worshipper!
