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…
Grandfather’s mistake became grandson’s miracle
‘They suddenly saw a group of Ishmaelites traveling from Gilead to Egypt.’ Genesis 37:25 GNT
If Abraham and Sarah had been willing to wait a little longer, Isaac would have been born and the promise of God fulfilled. But they became impatient and, as a result, Ishmael was born. One of the names given to God in Scripture is ‘Redeemer’, because He can redeem our mistakes and turn them into learning experiences; He can turn the mess you make into the miracle you need.
It took three generations, but God turned the mess Abraham made into the miracle of deliverance Joseph needed. Joseph’s destiny was to be ruler of Egypt and save his family and the world in time of famine. But because his brothers resented him, they sold him as a slave to ‘a group of Ishmaelites’. These were the descendants of Ishmael, who was born to Abraham and Hagar, Sarah’s maid. And where were these Ishmaelites going? To Egypt! ‘Then they lifted their eyes and looked, and there was a company of Ishmaelites, coming from Gilead with their camels, bearing spices, balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry them down to Egypt… so the brothers pulled Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. And they took Joseph to Egypt.’ (Genesis 37:25, 28 NKJV)
It’s not over until God says it’s over. He can turn the mess you made in the past into a miracle you need in the future. And that miracle will not only bless you, but others too. And perhaps those others will be in your own family, just as in the case of Joseph.
