There was a long period of silence while the Ministry of
Communications reviewed the entire radio picture of Radio Ceylon.
The Communists and the Buddhists accepted the suggestion and the
challenge to open debate on these great super-power stations of the
rival merits of the Communist way, or the WAY OF JESUS CHRIST.
Then came the glorious day---the very day I called on our
agency in New York. Two hours before I entered their offices, this
telegram had come through: "RADIO CEYLON WILL CONTINUE AS A FULL
COMMERCIAL STATION. THE WORLD TOMORROW CAN CERTAINLY RENEW ITS
CONTRACT!"
Listen, Co-Workers! Can we TRUST God? Is Jesus Christ
able to KEEP HIS WORD? He said "No man can shut" the great doors
He has opened for carrying HIS Message to this second most populous
area on earth! There are more people in India who understand the
English language than in the British Isles, believe it or not!
When Nehru wants to speak to the people of south India, the only
language he knows which they also understand is ENGLISH! We have
untold thousands of listeners over these Ceylon stations who never
heard God's glorious Message before! The COMMUNISTS tried to close
that great door. Christ said NO MAN CAN SHUT IT.
And NOW we are free to open fire against Communism. Always
before I was muzzled---censored---unable to even MENTION Communism
---never allowed to say a word against it! Now Communist speakers
will attack Jesus Christ and His gospel over Radio Ceylon. Now
they will attack me. But MY MOUTH IS NO LONGER SILENCED!
Co-Workers, what do YOU think? Do you think God, thru my mouth
will be able to ANSWER THEM? Who do YOU think will have the best
of the argument?
Yes, HERE IS THE CHALLENGE! Will YOU keep on backing me,
or will YOU, now after God stepped in by this MIRACLE to keep this
mighty door open, close it because there isn't enough money to pay
the radio bills? That's the challenge God hurls square into YOUR
lap! Will you stand by me---even at great sacrifice?
But that isn't all! Next I told them about our dilemma in
SPAIN. How can we ever reach SPAIN, with all radio stations there,
and every other avenue closed tight?
Well, God works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform!
They had the answer to that, too! RADIO TANGIER, just across the
narrow strait of Gibraltar from Spain, at their very border, IS NOW
OPEN TO THE WORLD TOMORROW PROGRAM! We can now get time on this
great powerful station, reaching all Spain, and Franco can't close
that door! Christ has now opened THAT door! Is there any END to
His miracles for HIS WORK? And my son Garner Ted Armstrong speaks
Spanish without any accent---exactly as THEY speak it, except for
the lisp with which most Spaniards speak, which is not used in
Mexico or South America. Ted is now ready to go on the air in
SPANISH.
The Spanish Department of Ambassador College now has all of
our booklets translated into the Spanish language, ready to be
