November 2009

• We recently added yet another one of our international languages to the growing list of broadcasts offered for online listening at ttb.org. This newest addition is Amharic, which is spoken throughout north central Ethiopia. It’s the second most-spoken Semitic language in the world, after Arabic, as well as the official language of Ethiopia. Please pray that this new outlet will expose many Amharic speakers to the gospel of Christ.
• Please pray for the safety of all those travelling in Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe by all modes of transportation in order to meet with listeners, attend conferences, train fellow support staff, set up or speak to listening groups, and more. 
• Partnership with local churches is essential in helping listeners grow in their spiritual lives. Please remember to pray for the many new churches and listening groups started by listeners – especially for those in remote areas. 
• A missionary in Thailand has contacted us, offering to negotiate adding the Thai broadcast to two radio stations in the Sukhothai province. Join us in praying that our Lord would bless these efforts and use this opportunity to open new doors for teaching His Word in Thailand.

October 2009

• In late July we added Creole to our long list of languages that are aired online. (If you haven’t been to our website lately and “sampled” some of our international broadcasts, we encourage you to do so!) Please pray that this will broaden our Creole-speaking audience around the world and that many people would fall in love with God’s Word through the teaching they hear.
• Praise God for the addition of a new language broadcast! Quiché is one of the Mayan languages spoken by the Kiché people living in the northern highlands of Guatemala. Around 1.9 million people – or about 8% of the population of Guatemala – speak Quiché. The new program began airing on three stations in August. Please pray fervently that our Lord will bless the airing of this new translation, that lives will be transformed by the teaching of His Word, and that listener response would be positive. Thank God for opening this door to reach more of His precious children!

September 2009

• We recently received some requests from our representatives serving in sensitive areas of Africa. We’re unable to share many details due to security issues, but please pray for a group of about 125 people who meet secretly to listen to TTB together and an Imam (head of a mosque) who reports that he is also listening each night in secret.
• Last month our producer, Jacques Iosti, visited churches and pastoral meetings in France to advertise and draw attention to the French TTB program. Please pray for a greater response from listeners and also that more radio stations in France will contact us to begin airing the broadcast.
• Please pray for individuals and listener groups that listen to the program on CDs and on MP3 players, that God may help them grow in the Word and understand and apply what they hear.
• Praise the Lord and thank Him for His faithfulness in guiding listeners to hear the programs, listen to the gospel message, accept His gift of salvation, and grow in their love for Him! The letters we receive every day from all over the world testify to this!

August 2009

• Praise that our ministry in Mexico continues to grow! The TWR director there recently signed an agreement to air TTB in Spanish from a 1000-watt station in Ocosingo, Chiapas.
• Pray for listeners around the world who are suffering due to their faith in Christ. May God give them comfort and joy.
• Praise the Lord for the continued growth in the number of Indian immigrants around the world who are finding our programs on the Internet and have become faithful listeners in their native tongues.
• Please pray for the production and broadcasts of our new Cebuano and Ilocano language programs to the Philippines. We’re thankful for all of the local FM stations that are now carrying these programs and for the local pastors who have agreed to follow up with those who respond to the broadcast.
• Praise the Lord for the 30% increase in listener response to our Spanish program in Latin America over the last year. Thousands of listeners expressed their thanks for the systematic study of God’s Word.
