MADAGASCAR UPDATE! |
The last piece of paperwork is on the desk of the Minister of Communications in Madagascar awaiting his signature. Once the document is signed, our three transmitters will be shipped to the dock in Mahajanga. From there they will be shipped the 17 kilometers to our site and installed to be ready for testing. Please pray with us that this can be accomplished by the end of 2012.

PARTNERING WITH THE BEST |
Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed. —Proverbs 15:22
Why reinvent the wheel? One of World Christian Broadcasting’s commitments is to partner with godly, skilled “advisers”—ministries and individuals—to accomplish the greatest good with the best resources available. To list just some of these, both past and present:
- Our first partnership was with the Texas-based Herald of Truth who provided office space for us in our early days and with whom we continue to partner in a number of important projects.
- Eastern European Mission has provided countless books and other resources for our listeners.
- World Bible School, World English Institute, Nations University, and the Institute of Theology and Christian Ministry in Russia have willingly offered to assist people who respond to our programs.
- Christian Productions International and the Continent of Great Cities are tremendous partners in our Latin America programming.
- Bible Literature for China promotes our station and Chinese materials.
- Missions Resource Network, the All-India Christian Federation, Joni and Friends, and the New Life Behavior Ministries provide counsel and resources that are invaluable to us.
- African Christian College in Swaziland has contributed to our programming to Africa. They and African Christian Schools Foundation have great plans to partner with us in exciting ways.
- We continue to benefit in a variety of ways from the faculty and staff of stateside Christian colleges and universities.
- Healing Hands International, Global Samaritan Resources, and World Convention are all supportive and encouraging to us in varied ways.
- Missionaries and national ministers are keys to the success of our work as they are the ones who finally make personal contact with those first contacted through our airwaves or websites.
- In addition, countless churches and individuals have given support—whether through script writing, voicing programs, advising, and providing financial backing—to allow us to fulfill our work.
God has brought these “many advisors” to ensure that every dimension of our work is of the highest quality. For each and every one we are profoundly thankful. |
MADAGASCAR STUDENTS EXCEL |
Knowing of World Christian Broadcasting’s plans to build a station in Madagascar, Lipscomb University (about 15 kilometers from World Christian Broadcasting’s programming center in Nashville, Tennessee) invited 24 students from Madagascar to enroll. Now, four years later, the students are about to graduate. These students are being invited to the World Christian Broadcasting dinner in April to honor them for their excellence in scholarship as well as their dedication to representing their country with pride.

A GOOD WEEK IN MALIBU |
Pepperdine University extended World Christian Broadcasting the opportunity to make four presentations at the 69th Annual Bible Lectures May 2-4. Our May 2 luncheon was attended by over 100 people who heard Andy Baker and Maurice Hall tell of present events and future prospects for broadcasting the Good News of Jesus around the world.
In addition, during three class periods we were able to tell the story of our programming challenges and successes. Members of our staff—Charles Caudill, Edward Short, Edward Ho, Rex Morgan, and Konstantin Chernushenko—anchored the presentations. In addition, three people we brought in for the event—Dr. Shiwei Zhai from China, Ammiel Perez from Cuba, and Jyothi Raju Gaddapati from India—brought unique perspectives from their countries.

Before a crowd of thousands at the Thursday morning (May 3) lecture, Jerry Rushford, director of the Pepperdine Bible Lectures, presented our guest, Ammiel Perez, with a “Distinguished Service Award.” He was honored for his decades of service both as minister for the 10th and October church in Havana as well as his long-time work as liaison between the Churches of Christ and the Cuban government.
Over the past three years, World Christian Broadcasting has filled nine class hours with news, perspectives, and information about the ministries we are conducting throughout the world. Many thanks go to Pepperdine and to the scores of people who attended those classes. |
A GREAT WOMAN OF FAITH |
Maurice and Marie on their 65th Anniversary
Maurice and Marie Hall had the vision of World Christian Broadcasting for decades before it came into existence. On Friday, March 9, Marie Hall passed quietly into the next life with her loving husband, Maurice, holding her hand. Marie would have been 90 on April 25.
The Halls were leaders in ministry in France and Vietnam in addition to many stateside locations. Maurice was a charter member of the World Christian Broadcasting Board of Directors with Marie perpetually standing at his side.
A memorial service for Marie was held on Saturday, March 17. Charles Caudill, president of World Christian Broadcasting, was among the speakers. Cards sent to Maurice at World Christian Broadcasting, 605 Bradley Ct., Franklin, TN, will be forwarded to him.
In lieu of flowers, Maurice requests that memorial donations be made to World Christian Broadcasting, 605 Bradley Ct. , Franklin, TN 37067, identified as “Marie Hall Memorial. ” |
