GONDI, from Madhya Pradesh: This is a wonderful programme and it has helped me grow spiritually. It is the manna that I receive every day from God. Without this programme, I would not be able to study the Bible.

JAVANESE, from Indonesia: Peace be with you. Thank you for the Word of God which strengthened me. By the Word of God I have become more faithful, especially after listening about the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus. Please uphold me in prayers that my husband will believe in the Lord Jesus.

GERMAN, from Germany: I am a faithful listener to your program. I am now ending my seventies, and I do not have so much strength anymore. Nevertheless my heart is full of joy when I listen to God’s Word. I feel I am a little nearer to my home in heaven. I would like to express my hearty thanks to you and all your team-workers.

RUSSIAN, from Ukraine: I do thank the Lord for you, for giving you this ministry – such a great and important one! Through you the Lord opened my spiritual understanding to many things and strengthened me. I find it hard to express in words what a joy it is to have fellowship with you listening to your lectures. They are God’s river full of water. The Lord gives me real answers through your messages; they show me that He is guiding you. I share the news about them with many others, and already a lot of people have stopped watching TV and began to feed on this spiritual manna.

ENGLISH (INDIAN), from Madhya Pradesh: My daughter, my mother and myself are being continually blessed by these programs. I have also been sharing Thru the Bible with my uncles, aunties and cousins and I am encouraging them to tune in to TWR broadcasts. Thru the Bible makes the study of the Word such a pleasure, delight and joy. Studying the Bible together with family and friends is a great blessing indeed. There are certain books in the Bible which are not easy to understand for me and I start to lose interest in reading those books, and Ezekiel is one of them. But things become different when I listen to Thru the Bible with an open heart and sincere prayer. I have seen people's lives transformed by the power of God in response to hearing Thru the Bible with an honest attitude. Hebrews 4:12 and Romans 10:17 are absolutely true. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Therefore once again I am led by the Lord to thank you from the depth of my heart for making a difference for me, my family, friends and loved ones.

ZULU, from Swaziland: God is so great! I am a young man who grew up in a non-Christian family. My family was so deeply involved in traditional customs. We never went to church. My father was a traditional man. He would never allow us to attend church services. He always did his best to protect us as his children. We were well taken care of. That made me think I am okay without Jesus, because I did not have time to do wrong things. But last month when I tuned to your programme, you made it very clear that apart from Jesus Christ we are not worthy of God’s kingdom. When you invited people to give their lives to the Lord, I was one of those. Now I listen to your programme every day and I am growing in the Lord. I want to know more and more about Jesus.

CROATIAN, from Croatia: My wife was born and brought up in spirit to worship Mohammed and she can’t accept Jesus Christ. If only I knew when I was a young person what I know now, namely what God’s Word says. Or if I would have found a Christian woman who believes the truth in Jesus Christ or that I would not have married, then my life would be better. I pray that the Lord Jesus Christ would pour out His Spirit onto my wife and that she would be born again and truly come to know and accept the Lord Jesus Christ as her Savior and Redeemer.

DUTCH, from Holland: Even though my wife and I have been Christians for about 40 years, the way you bring the Bible stories in the book of Genesis to life again is enlightening.

HAUSA, from Nigeria: Thank all of you for the spiritual food you are giving to us every day. May the Lord continue to bless you more in Jesus’ name. Pray for one Muslim who is listening to your programme every day.

INDONESIAN, from Indonesia: It is as if my faith awakened when I listened to the Word of God. I realized that believing in the Lord Jesus needs a heart to serve Him and leaves the bad deeds [behind], and it needs guidance from other persons. I need the Holy Spirit's guidance to serve Him.

PORTUGUESE (BRAZILIAN), from Brazil: I would like to say that after hearing your program, I changed the way I live. Now I live with Jesus and it is very wonderful. I never forgot that lesson when you said to us put the scriptures into practice. I have prayed for your program, asking God uses it as a way to enable many people, including my sister who lives in Japan. I like the program very much because it transmits the Word of God with seriousness. The interpretation is very rich in knowledge and very authentic.

NEPALI, from Nepal: I am 67 years old with five children. I am a Christian since 2008. Tuning my radio set one day I came to know about [your] radio program. As I continued to listen to the program, the Word of God started to work after four months of regularly listening. The Living Word touched me and I was impressed by it. Before listening to this, I had been suffering from some wrong habitual things. I used to be proud of my caste, as I am from one called high Brahmin caste. I used to think, “I am a Brahmin high and holy caste.” I thought that it was not necessary for me to follow Jesus for salvation and that this religion was for lower schedule castes only. As I began listening to the program continually, my inner eye was opened knowing the fact that all human beings are sinners. None are righteous. I decided to know more about Jesus. I secretly started attending the church. After five months of continued listening and attending the local church I am convinced about Jesus who is my Lord and Savior. Now I am no more a secret believer, even though I am only one believer in my family. Despite hatred from family, I am enjoying my life in Jesus. My heart is full of peace and joy in Jesus.

DUTCH, from Holland: Thank you so much for the compelling and educational program. For years now I have been planning to read through the whole Bible, have started, but never finished. Now there is an opportunity to have it read out AND explained to me at the same time, with wonderful cross-references and backgrounds explained. I came across your broadcasts “by accident,” and became fascinated by the studies. Now I listen in the mornings when everyone has left the house, in my quiet time, as one hungry for God’s Word! It is ideal to listen through the internet, at any time you choose, and if you miss a day, it doesn't matter because through internet you can always start over again. Doesn’t our God work in creative and wonderful ways to make His Word known? I'm looking forward to the next five years!

ARMENIAN, from Armenia: Fifteen years ago my wife passed away and I felt so bad. I began drinking alcohol and I didn’t care about my children. So a Christian foundation took care of my children. I sold everything and spent all the money on alcohol. But thanks to God, someone told me about Jesus, and now I go to a church. Radio is more than a friend for me: It is like a parent to me, who educates and gives me advice with love. I have been really blessed by the TTB program with Dr. McGee. Thank you for the wonderful programs you prepare for us.

KOREAN, from South Korea: I began to listen to McGee’s Bible Study about a month ago. I introduced the program to my husband and he said that he would listen but I did not think that he would because he really did not like to study the Bible. After a few days, He told me he listened and he liked it. Since then, he not only listens to the lecture of the day but reviews past lectures by connecting to the internet. He has become an enthusiastic supporter of McGee’s Bible Study.

ENGLISH, from Kerrville, Texas: I have realized recently that I have been riding the Bible Bus off and on for over 40 years. I hope to continue for many more years and to keep paying my fare as I go (hopefully I’ll be able to help pay someone else’s fare also, as I’m sure others have paid mine). Not long ago someone told me I needed to go beyond Dr. McGee and listen to some more current Bible teachers who emphasize only certain things in the Bible. But Dr. McGee teaches the whole Bible. How can I go beyond that? I don’t think I should. I have found over the years I can trust Dr. McGee. I have not found that to be so with many others. Please keep giving out the whole Word to the whole world till Jesus comes!

ALBANIAN, from Albania: I am a regular listener of TTB. I listen all day to the radio. I have a coffee shop and in it I turn on the radio all day long. All the people that come always ask me what kind of music or program I am listening to. So radio is a good means not only for my spiritual growth but also for the evangelization of other people.

ORIYA, from Orissa, India: I am able to know many truths of life since I started listening to your programs. It is heart touching and turns my sorrows into joy. I have received answers to my prayers and it is a great joy to pray! I am yet to know, however, why good people suffer and the wicked prosper! Personally, I have learned that I need to be faithful to the Lord till the end. While encouraging others to listen I also share the books you sent me. Many in my village are eager to listen to your program now. Please pray that they may all accept the Lord as their only Savior.

RUSSIAN (CENTRAL-ASIAN), from Turkey: I listen to your program every night and I got closer to God. I feel like I am the most sinful person on earth. Here with me in prison are another 30 Romanian people. In my cell with me is another Romanian and we both listen to your program. Here we heard for the first time God’s Word, and every day and night I pray that He will help me.

GERMAN, from Stuttgart, Germany: It has been a year now that I am listening to your program. I have been richly blessed. When you close your program with the blessing I am always thankful for it. I am 67 years old and since 7 years ago I am a widow. [The program] is my spiritual food. May my lips keep praising God for all the blessings, and I want to thank you for opening God’s Word for my understanding. I am so glad that there is hope, love, faith, and peace in our Lord Jesus Christ.

SPANISH, from Los Angeles, California: I must confess to you that I have been listening to you for some years on the 1390 station in Los Angeles, CA. It has been a great challenge for me. I came to know the Lord when I was a child but during my adolescence I wandered away from God. My life has been a lot like the people of Israel. I became very disillusioned as I began to see false teaching in the church. When I found your program my first reaction was that you would be the same as the rest of them and I would listen for awhile and then I would change to another station. Every day I would do the same thing but gradually my hunger to study the Sacred Scriptures grew and grew as it says in John 5:39, “You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that bear witness of Me.” Now I know that it’s not about religion but it’s about a relationship. Through your explanations I have fallen in love with my Jesus. I close my eyes and I tell Him I love Him and I ask Him to forgive me for having abandoned Him for such a long time. I climbed aboard the Bible Bus as a challenge to my unbelief. Every day I would say to myself, “I will listen to them, but I will not believe,” as if I had been a policewoman at the end of each program. I felt as if I had eaten the most delicious meal of my life and as though someone had quenched my thirst with a fresh cup of cold water. Now I am the one recommending the program when someone says to me they don’t believe the Bible. The Lord had His plans already prepared for me as it says in Isaiah 55:8, 9: “‘For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,’ declares the Lord. ‘For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.’” I give thanks to God for the servant he used, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, and for all of you who are following in his steps. May God bless you with abundant wisdom in the Word of God in Christ Jesus. I will be praying for your program and for the personal lives of each one of you. May God bless you.

DECCANI, from Madhya Pradesh: I have been listening to your program very keenly. I am your Bible study student. Your way of preaching is very nice. I have been learning biblical truths through your program. I have been praying that the Lord may spread the good news to everyone and everywhere and that many will be added into His fold.

HUNGARIAN, from Hungary: I listen to the programmes regularly because we get many blessings from them. I organize my daily chores so that I can listen. God bless your self-sacrificing work, because there are a lot of aged people who are not able to go in a church and listen to the Word of God. They get spiritual food by your ministry. Although I am an old Christian, I have been understanding a lot of things just now.

SERBIAN, from West Serbia: My husband died at work – there was an accident, and I really have a hard time dealing with it. Many temptations came into my life and I struggle with finding solutions. Please pray for me. I find great encouragement in your programs and thank you for serving us in need. May God bless you all.

GREEK, from Northern Greece: You spoke directly to my soul. I didn’t expect it. I am exactly at the point you described in your message. I am studying every day the Word. I was born again today because of your message. I wish you power from the Lord and courage. May God be with you.

MADURESE, from Indonesia: Listening to the program always gives me strength to be faithful to the Lord Jesus so that I dare to witness the love of God to unbelievers.

CREOLE, from Delmas, Haiti: I have always felt like a person who enters a restaurant and eats satisfactorily. This is the way I can explain the action of the Thru the Bible program in my soul, which always receives blessings from this program. I have found much gold in TTB; my soul always wishes to listen to the teaching and keep it in my heart. I request that you pray to God that programs continue to my country, because there is a spirit of fear and hypocrisy that prevents a livening among our brothers and sisters. I am praying that nobody who participates in this trip through the Bible would be discouraged.

KANNADA, from Karnataka: I am listening every morning. Your broadcast has enabled me to hear about Jesus Christ. I have a zeal and interest to know more about Him. I want to accept Jesus Christ, but I do not know how. So I request that you guide me.

SPANISH, from Bogota, Colombia: Since about 10 years ago I have been listening to you on Christian radio stations. Your studies are very accurate and easy to understand. They have been a balm for my life in the midst of difficulties. I have had spiritual lows, but listening to you I have found peace and have sensed how they lift me spiritually. May you continue spreading the Word of God all over the world in order to carry out the great commission of going and making disciples of all nations.

CEBUANO, from the Philippines: Your radio signal is loud and clear. Not only that, but your message is very easy to understand. Because of this, my neighbors are also encouraged to listen to your radio program. God bless your labor of love through sharing the good news about Jesus Christ.

HUNGARIAN, from Hungary: I have been regularly listening for three years. I have received many blessings and the Word has revealed many sins, because I am not a perfect believer. There has been only one perfect man: the Savior, Jesus Christ. I am thankful to God that the Word is preached through the radio so that people may find the way to Him.

PUNJABI, from Punjab: Last year I accepted Jesus Christ in my life. He is my personal Savior. In my family only I have accepted Jesus Christ, and my husband and my children have not come into the fold. I met a servant of God who gave me a TWR radio program guide. I now listen to your program in the Punjabi language. I am blessed by it. I get peace in my life after listening to this program. Please pray for me.

PORTUGUESE, from Brazil: I hear Thru the Bible by Internet. May God bless you greatly. I wish that God’s Word would be announced to all the nations shortly so that Jesus returns as soon as possible, because we Christian people are looking forward to seeing it. Sometimes I think to myself, God always existed and always will exist. He had no beginning and will not have an end. He is the God where everything begins and everything ends, the God that created something where there was nothing. Thinking these things, I have to surrender to my knees and adore Him!

ENGLISH (Indian), from India: I am a Christian but I came to know Jesus in an intimate way only after listening to the TTB program. Your messages have helped me to grow in the Lord. Whenever I faced any difficulties or had some doubts or I needed prayer support, your team was always there to help me through. I am so grateful to the Lord for your ministry because I have been nurtured spiritually. There are many times in my life when I feel that Satan is robbing my time with Him, but with your prayer support I know I can conquer even his subtle distractions. I am beginning to understand the deep truths of the Bible and because of that I am able to trust Him during my most trying situations. Your ministry is very powerful and it amazes me to think that God has a wonderful plan for my life. I have been able to encourage my sister who has been diagnosed with a hormonal imbalance problem. She is always depressed and has very little faith in the Lord. There are times when she feels that God does not love her. During these low moments I always encourage her to listen to the TTB broadcast and build her faith in the Lord. May God bless your ministry and may many people find Jesus like I did. Thank you … for comforting us in our deepest moments of need and depression. I close my testimony with gratitude and praise to my Father in Heaven for your TTB program.

GREEK (field report of a telephone call): A lady phoned, eager to tell us that she had received the Bible she had requested earlier. She has found that she can actually understand the contents of the Bible – this in spite of the fact that the official church has taught her that the Bible is too mystical, too complicated for anyone other than the clergy trained by the church. They teach the people to not even try to read the Scriptures. Many people are actually hesitant or even afraid to pick up a copy of the Bible since it is too “sacred.” The lady has already shared her joy with a friend who has also requested a Bible.

ARABIC, from Gaza Strip: Thank you for accepting me as your friend and for sending the Holy Bible to me. I pray that God would give me more understanding of Christianity, and I thank God for people like you who are willing to help someone like me from another background to know the truth of God and Jesus. I really believe that each one of us should have the liberty to know about God’s truth without fear. Please pray for me to be led to the truth through your broadcast and pray for Gaza that is going through lots of hurt, blood, and pain.

INDONESIAN, from Indonesia: I am a widow with five children to take care of. Even though I have to earn money to help my family survive, I won’t miss listening to the Word of God. I keep on listening faithfully because the Word of God is the only thing that is comforting so that I don’t feel alone. The Word of God is strengthening my faith.

Testimonies from members of our TSWA listening groups in Mozambique:

• I am so glad to lead a listening group here in Vilanculos. I just want to glorify Jesus’ name because one of the group members accepted the Lord Jesus as his Savior. It was possible after he listened to the program and to us sharing the Word of God. Praise the Lord!
• I am so glad to write to you. Thank you for the MT4 machine that makes us able to listen to the program any time we want. I like very much the story of Abraham and Lot who teach us to obey God’s voice. God blesses us through your program.
• I am very happy to write to you and let you know that God changes lives through your wonderful program. In my MT4 group two people were saved. I praise God who is working in our group and allowing us to listen to His Word.
• We are so glad to listen to your program in the MT4 group. We opened a small church but don’t have a pastor. So your program helps us to follow Jesus Christ in the right way, because you spread the real voice of hope and salvation.
• I am so glad to write you this letter to let you know that we received the Bibles we asked for. Now we are able to follow the Word of God in our Bibles. Thank you very much.

ENGLISH, from West Mifflin, Pennsylvania: I started listening to the good doctor whilst incarcerated. Now many people, understandably, belittle “jailhouse conversions.” The conversion’s validity rests on how long it sticks after you see the judge. Well, praise the Lord, three years later I still listen to the good pastor whenever he is on, I download his sermons to my mp3 player, and I try very hard to live as someone who is saved should live. I had started a Bible study in prison and it did have some success …. The big problems started when we attracted some folks who felt they alone understood the Word and were looking for converts. Praise the Lord, that is when TTB entered our lives in a profound and meaningful way. Instead of a two-hour argument, our gathering became a Bible study once again …. Whenever life gets difficult and I feel that I shall forever have to pay for the one huge mistake in my life, knowing that study is still going on offers me solace and encouragement. As important as reading the Word is, having a teacher who helps one draw correct conclusions is also very important. Thank you to all of you who carry on [Dr. McGee’s] work. I truly believe ttb.org is the biggest reason I have bucked the odds and have not returned to prison. May God bless you all!

CANTONESE, from China: This program helped me to understand the Word of God. The gospel is the power of God, it saves all those who believe. Thank God for His love to the Chinese people! The gospel can spread in China. He does not want anyone to perish, but all can be saved. May God open the door of the gospel in places all over the world so that more people will enter the family of God.

PORTUGUESE, from Londrina, Brazil: For a long time I have been an assiduous listener of your program. I encourage you to continue bravely in this precious work of the study of God’s Word. The love and the way you develop the messages has been reaching the hearts of many lives that need this spiritual food in this world.

THAI, from Chiang Rai, Thailand: I am serving the Lord in my church. One time I felt extremely tired in my work. I wanted encouragement. My mother bought a new radio and she fiddled the dial and found Thru the Bible! From that day we have set the alarm and all our household listens. Now I have the opportunity to start every new day with TTB. I thank the Lord for providing what I wanted at the time I was thirsty for His Word.

CREOLE, from Port au Prince, Haiti: Grace and peace to you from God our Father. I want to thank you for the great work you are doing through the airwaves, since I can witness to how fortified and built up I am with these studies.

RUSSIAN, from Belgorod, Russia: When I hear [your] voice, my heart is filled with joy. I am in heaven! I have not words enough to thank you. If not for your programs my husband and I would have died spiritually. There is no church nearby, and my husband can hardly see. Only your program upholds us and gives us spiritual growth.

FRENCH, from France: I would just like to thank you for your generosity, because I am very happy to receive the Word of the Lord just before going to sleep. May the Lord bless you.

ORIYA, from Orissa: I was leading a life according to the world and vehemently opposed anyone who proclaimed Christ. However, one day I heard about your program and with skepticism I listened to it. That one broadcast changed my life and I experienced divine peace for the first time in my heart. I was able to accept Jesus’ gift of salvation through your program and I want to serve God. I want to live for Jesus all of my life. Please pray for me.

SPANISH, from Galveston, Texas: I listen together with my brothers, because we have the blessing of working together. One of my brothers is not yet a Christian. Not too long ago he did not believe in God (he was an atheist), but now he listens to your program together with us and has started to believe. Even though he has not received Jesus Christ as his Savior and Lord, he believes there is a God and listens to Christian radio all the time. Help me in prayer so that soon my brother will make the decision to surrender control of his life to our God.

ENGLISH, from Westford, Massachusetts: As superintendent of our adult Sunday school for the past 10 years, I’ve always been a bit troubled by the fact that our Sunday school studies of a given book of the Bible typically run for the entire year. While this is great for in-depth discussion of the book, at this rate it would take a lifetime for an adult in our congregation to be exposed to in-depth teaching of the 66 books of the Bible, assuming that we could even find a willing teacher for each book. Recognizing the need for an overview of the Bible, we have on several occasions offered a Sunday school discussion class keyed to a program of reading through the Bible in one year. However, we found that the pace is so fast that many important truths and insights are never explored.

Three years ago, one of our church elders, who was already a passenger on the Bible Bus, suggested that we offer a Sunday school class keyed to the TTB broadcast. Participants in the class follow the weekly commentary by Dr. McGee by whatever means they find most effective and convenient. Average weekly attendance in the class is around 10 but they use all the methods for following the commentary including local radio broadcast, streaming audio, podcast, and the multivolume transcripts of the program. Some in our class have elected to receive the monthly mailings while others, like me, are all electronic, relying on the web pages and a podcast subscription to keep up to date. During our weekly Sunday school class, we use the time to share insights related to the scripture from the past week, ask questions, and review highlights of the past week’s lesson. The five-year pace for reading and studying all of the books of the Bible allows us time to absorb important truths while providing in-depth exposure to all of scripture in just five years.

While we have been blessed to be able to participate in the TTB broadcast, it is also a blessing to know that many outside the U.S. also have the opportunity to hear the Word of God proclaimed through your efforts. Your program helps break down the misconceptions and stereotypes of Americans that exist abroad, showing those in other countries that there are still God-fearing, Spirit-filled men and women in this country who seek to enrich their lives, rather than exploit them. May God continue to bless the TTB ministry.

HUNGARIAN, from Germany: I am from Transylvania but I am living in Germany. I have hardships because I do not speak the language of this country. But spiritually I am fine with the help of [TTB]. I receive new strength day by day and for this to God be the glory. When listening to the Word and teachings of God I do not feel lonely anymore.

KUTCHI, from Gujarat, India: I like to listen to your program. I have experienced peace of mind from your messages. Please pray for me and for my family to grow in the Lord. We do not have a good place of worship to go to in this place, so this program is providing us good biblical knowledge and fellowship. Thank you.

NEPALI, from Nepal: I have recently started listening to your program. The teachings have opened my eyes and I have found peace and eternal life in Jesus. The teachings and the songs are so powerful and I am so blessed. I belong to a troupe in the circus. Though I knew Jesus since my childhood, I had forgotten Him once I joined the circus. I thank the Lord for this radio program that has restored my relationship with Jesus and is strengthening my walk with the Lord. I share about this program with all my friends. Please uphold me in your prayers.

ENGLISH (AFRICAN), from South Africa: It has been a great pleasure to hear your programme again by downloading MP3s on the Internet. I used to listen by radio, but since I moved to another province I could not listen as the transmission was bad. It is truly the “good news” as I realize that it is a privilege to receive the unbiased interpretation of the Word of God.

TIGRINYA, from Eritrea: I am a young lady in my late thirties, living with my mother who is not in good health. As I am the youngest among my siblings and not yet married, I am taking all the responsibility to care for my old and weak mother. Helping people, especially the weak and beloved ones, is the thing that I like to do in my life. My mother has been suffering from a chronic disease for the past eight years. She has been bedridden for the last five years and cannot come out of the bed without assistance. She has a severe and serious pain especially during the night and never gets sleep. Sometimes she yells to the extent that people from the neighborhood rush for help at hearing her crying. You can imagine the situation mom is in and the atmosphere I am living in. When such a critical and difficult time comes, I usually try to give painkillers to decrease the agony, but mostly this doesn’t work effectively. As an alternative I used to tell stories to divert her attention and alleviate the suffering, but it was not as effective as the one that I am making use of these days. I would say your broadcast is doing a miracle in changing the situation. One night a man from the neighborhood came to visit mom and kept telling her that it is only God’s hand that can cure and give her strength and patience. He was the only one who tried to comfort mom with God’s Word. Unfortunately my mother was not showing any interest to the things being said, but that very night, she was so anxious to have him stay and hear his usual words. He was a bit reluctant to stay, saying that it was time for him to go and listen to the radio broadcast which he did not want to miss. He also added that if he was allowed to make use of the radio in the house and if the household was willing to listen together with him, he would stay. Fortunately mom allowed him to play the radio, and then the good news came to our ears. Mom loved the words being told. The lesson was from Acts 3:1-10. She got excited by what she had heard and forgot her pain, showing an immediate reaction to the Bible teachings, confessing that something had veiled her eyes from seeing the things that could give her comfort and relief. Now listening to the radio lessons and sitting together for Bible sessions and prayer is becoming the noble habit in the household. God’s Spirit is ruling in our lives. The house is filled with sounds of praises to the Lord. Thanks to God the Lord, the pain and the yelling is being overwhelmed by songs of praise. Praised be His name who is extending His mercy to the poor woman and her poor daughter as well.

ENGLISH, from Jacksonville, North Carolina: Dr. McGee’s study in Ephesians led me to spiritual enlightenment concerning prayer, angels, demons, and the whole armor of God. Dr. McGee quoted the Scripture, “We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers…” and eloquently paired prayer, angels, and demons in his message. I am 31 years old, and of my 16 years of being a Christian I never knew that there were gradations in angels and demons, that when we pray the Lord sends His angels to answer our prayer, and that demons can impede angels from getting God’s work done when answering prayers. These were true revelations to me, but what made a profound impact on my spiritual well-being was that I finally learned how to put on the whole armor of God. I’ve always wondered how putting on the whole armor worked, and prayed to God to help me learn how to do so. Well, God in His infinite wisdom and glory has revealed this to me through Dr. McGee….Glory be to our Father God and Jesus Christ and thank you for continuing to share Dr. McGee’s message of the Scriptures.

ORIYA, from Orissa, India: I value your program highly, as it has led me to the Lord Jesus Christ. In fact, it has given me a new life. Before I knew Jesus I was not following the right path, rather I had beaten many people and persecuted them. I had also tried various religions but did not have peace or convincing truth about life. In vain I had also pursued many sadhus (Hindu yogi) and temple priests. I am fortunate to have come across your program and hear the gospel of Jesus. I regularly listen and have at last found what I was longing for all along. I have confessed all my sins to Him and accepted Him as my personal Savior.

CROATIAN, from Croatia: Your broadcast gives me new strength every day. I hope you will never stop. Please pray for me and also for my husband who is not a believer yet. He is bedridden at the moment and is thereby “forced” to listen with me. Please pray that God may talk to him just now.

KOREAN, from Changwon, South Korea: I serve as a Sunday school teacher at my church. When I teach, I seem to remember what I learned through McGee’s Bible Study. One Sunday, McGee’s lesson overlapped with what I was sharing. God really encourages and prepares me to teach His Word. Undoubtedly, this opportunity has helped me learn much more about the Bible and to draw closer to God. Thank you for sharing the helpful lessons.

ENGLISH, from Port Orchard, Washington: My step-father and mother have been listening to Dr. McGee every morning for many years, and every time I visit my folks I take part in their morning ritual. Gladly, I can say that it has rubbed off on me. At the start of 2008 I began listening via the Internet, and I now eagerly rise early in the morning to hear the teaching of the Word. This puts me in a prime position to pray about what I’ve learned, and then go into the work world and try to apply it. My hunger for the Word of God has been stirred up by Dr. McGee and the Holy Spirit is using the Word to make me a better man. My wife even notices the changes in me, and I’m sure my coworkers do, too, although they don’t mention it. I have a strong desire to win lost souls for Christ, and I thank Thru the Bible, the local church, my family, and especially the Holy Spirit.

AMHARIC, from Ethiopia: One day when I walked along the road from the prayer program to my home, I saw a Muslim man with a scarf on his head carrying a radio close to his ear and listening to it with an astonishing mood. I walked closer to him to hear what he was listening to. I was amazed when I heard that it was TTB! Another day I met him on the road [again] and asked why he listens to such a program and gives such attention to it. He told me that he never expected to hear about God’s love, peace, and justice and that the program has left something invaluable in his heart.

MALAGASY, from Antananarivo, Madagascar: I was at the hospital waiting my turn for surgery. I was scared and fearful. But great was His faithfulness and His plan to be able in that difficult time to hear your teaching pastor who really uplifted my faith and my trust on Him and Him alone.

ALBANIAN, from Albania: This program is a blessing for our home. My mom, my dad, and my little brother listen to it regularly. We are learning great teaching, especially from the Old Testament. Before, we had been studying a lot from the New Testament, and to tell the truth we didn’t know a lot about the Old Testament. But thanks to the TTB program we are getting close to this section of the Word of God. I have been touched especially by the prophetic books. It’s amazing how God works. God bless you.

ENGLISH, from Jeannette, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.: Twelve years ago I prayed one day for a Bible study I could do on my own at home since I was a very busy mom of a toddler. The next week I was driving home one evening and turned to WORD-FM and I heard all about the Bible Bus and how the tour was going to start very shortly. I went home that evening knowing that God had answered a prayer very quickly! I called that night and got on the bus and never looked back. What a great trip it was and still is when I can listen. These days I am a mother of a teenage son who has autism. I am still a busy mom – no, I am way busier than I ever was! The Lord is leading me to start a support group for families who need help for what can sometimes be a most devastating diagnosis. Thanks to your program for getting me grounded early on! My faith was definitely strengthened from the teaching it provided. My support group will definitely have a biblical focus letting everyone know from where our strength comes. The Lord gave me the name: Glory & Grace. He told me that if we give Him the glory for entrusting us with these children, He will give us the grace to get us through whatever we face.

FRENCH, from France: In the broadcast I particularly appreciate the simplicity of the language used, the delicate humor, and the constant reference to the political-historical situation of that era. All this renders the text very approachable and deliciously passionate. Do you think you could find this talent of storytelling elsewhere? Thank you.
