ALL THE WORLD -- AS A WITNESS TO ALL NATIONS, I found we were
STUCK!
I could not buy time on radio in Britain -- nor in France,
Germany, nor in Russia, China, India, Japan, Indonesia.
THIS IS IMPORTANT. PLEASE UNDERSTAND!
I found the governments in these other nations around the
world CONTROL RADIO, TELEVISION, and COMMUNICATIONS! The
GOVERNMENTS try to control the MINDS, and the thinking of their
people! It is different from the United States.
So what did we do? I was able to buy time on Radio
Luxembourg, wedged in between France, Germany, Belgium and Holland.
I tried to reach these nations from outside their borders -- from
Radio Luxembourg. But they would only sell time between 11:00 p.m.
and midnight. We went on the air there at 11:30 p.m. It was the
best we could do. It reached A FEW people in England, Scotland and
Northern Ireland. BUT IT DID NOT REALLY GET GOD'S MESSAGE TO
ENGLAND. Only partially!
I found I could buy time on Radio Ceylon. It was beamed,
by shortwave, on the eastern coast of Africa, and down into south-
eastern Asia. We received a SMALL response from those areas. BUT
WE DID NOT REACH INDIA! Apparently it was beamed DIRECTIONALLY
AWAY from India, probably demanded by the government of India.
Also apparently it was beamed over and beyond even Ceylon, for we
received almost no response from there!
I tried to reach China by buying time on Chiang Kai-shek's
station on Formosa island. There was absolutely NO RESPONSE from
China. I remember one letter came from a girl student in Taiwan.
That was all. I tried buying time on Radio Monte Carlo, to reach
Russia. Supposedly, it was beamed over all other countries from
Monte Carlo, on the Mediterranean, all the way to Russia. I hired
a supposedly fluent Russian interpreter to translate my scripts
into Russian, and record them by his voice in the Russian language.
THERE WAS NO RESPONSE, except one letter I remember, from one of
the satellite countries -- but NOTHING from Russia.
We were able to buy time on a number of stations in
Australia, but not the best stations, and always poor time.
I had to come to realize that while we have reached
millions in the U.S. and Canada, and even in Australia, WE WERE
NOT GETTING THE GOSPEL WITH ANY REAL EFFECTIVENESS INTO THE OTHER
COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD!
Then about five years ago I began praying earnestly that
God would show us how HE wanted to use us in getting HIS MESSAGE
as a witness into those major countries around the world. We did
the best job we could. We DO have a good circulation of The PLAIN
TRUTH in many countries -- Britain, France, Germany, Holland.
Through ads in Reader's Digest we have gained circulation of The
PLAIN TRUTH in Mexico, and other countries. But we were not
reaching the BIG countries with sufficient EFFECTIVENESS!
