May 2023 - Great Results!
This has been a very busy time for us, but also a very productive time! Next year will be our 40th anniversary of media ministry. Only eternity will tell us about the millions who heard the salvation message we have faithfully shared over the years. We have been the pioneer of Arabic Christian television. We have prayed with thousands of people who accepted the Lord and we have been instrumental in directly and indirectly helping to start many other ministries, and to train leaders. Many are serving the Lord as a result of the Light For All Nations ministry.
One lady from Kuwait expressed to me: “You are the spiritual father of the Muslim Background Believers. We grew up spiritually on your teaching that helped us in our home countries where we couldn’t go to church.” Interestingly this week I heard from seven other people who told me that they came to the Lord through the ministry of Light For All Nations and how they are now strong believers and active in their churches.
We have been producing a variety of programs and productions lately. I just returned from Israel where we taped a great production called “Jesus from Birth to Ascension and His Second Coming.” It will be 54 - half hour episodes that will start to air soon. During the Resurrection Holiday we aired the new series “At The Cross” and the response was amazing on satellite and on social media being watched by 1.5 million to 2 million people every two weeks. Soon we will air another series called “Jesus at Capernaum” which is 26 episodes on Bible locations.
We are experiencing a great harvest of souls that brings us such joy and I know that you are rejoicing with me because you have made it possible by your support. “He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together” (John 4:36).
On Wednesdays in our studio, as we have done for many years, we air a live program. This past Wednesday we had an amazing program! My guest was a Muslim Background Believer (MBB) and the topic was “The Challenges that face the MBB when they come to Christ.” One challenge is when they start to go to a church. Sadly in the Middle East, some churches are not welcoming to them. They face loneliness and many have lost their homeland or even their families. Our programs are a great encouragement to them and several have asked that we share their stories. Please keep the ministry of LFAN in your prayers and continuing supporting us in the vital work we do!
Before finishing this email, I pray that you will be treasured and loved as you should be! May the Lord bless you all!
Your brother in Christ,

Let us remember to pray for the fire situation in Alberta and for the people who had to be evacuated.
Let us also pray the suffering people, especially in Gaza, who are caught in the heavy crossfire of retaliation at this time.
