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…
The link between disobedience and stress
‘Walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you.’ Jeremiah 7:23 NKJV
A leading Christian psychologist says there is a direct correlation between the stress we experience and disobeying God’s Word. Could that be true? Could there be a link between the stress you are feeling and the level of your obedience to God? Yes. Think about it. As a redeemed child of God, when you knowingly disobey Him, your conscience bothers you and you feel conflicted and condemned. By knowingly violating His Word, you get uncomfortable in your own skin. Plus, when you need to pray and ask God for something, it can feel like you’re talking to the person who paid you to do a job you haven’t even started. ‘Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence towards God. And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.’ (1 John 3:21–22 NKJV)
Sometimes we cannot pinpoint the exact source of the stress we’re feeling; it just feels like all is not well. What should you do? Stop and think about your behaviour! The twelve-step programme of recovery refers to this as ‘a searching and fearless moral inventory’. It must be taken in order for a suffering alcoholic or addict to break free of what keeps driving them back to their habit. Would you like to de-stress? Read this Scripture prayerfully and carefully: ‘But this is what I commanded them, saying, “Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be My people. And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you.”’ (Jeremiah 7:23 NKJV)
