In this ministry update we simply want to share with you this precious listener response from a young woman who has encountered the life-changing love and forgiveness of Christ.
“I hated you when I started to listen to your programmes because you were preaching in our country. I called you nine months ago if you remember. I threatened you and yelled at you. I was angry that you were confusing our people and youth.
I’m a woman educated by a special religious group. You tried to stay calm and answered very softly. I wrote to RTÜK (Radio and Television Supreme Council) and complained about you. I was very angry. I listened every day to your programmes and took notes about the blasphemies.
Then one day I realized that my heart had changed. I was shocked; it was unbelievable. I wanted to listen to your programme because I found peace in it. My anger was gone and I did not know when or how that happened. When you prayed the salvation prayer, I bowed down and prayed with you. I couldn’t stop crying.
I have given my heart to him, but I can’t tell this to anyone. It would be very dangerous for me. I am reading the Bible, but at times it’s hard for me to understand because I’m coming from an area with radicalism. Sometimes I will have a question in my mind about Christianity, then I will listen to your programme, and it is like you are talking directly to me and I understand.
Christ has changed my life. I am not an angry person anymore. Please forgive me for the past, and thank you for being there.”
