God Himself is opening new doors. We have to be able to
walk thru them, or FAIL in His Great Commission. In my last letter
I had to tell you that Communist influence had gained power in the
government of Ceylon, and had closed the door of Radio Ceylon to
The WORLD TOMORROW Broadcast. But IMMEDIATELY, almost before the
postman could deliver that letter to you, GOD OPENED THREE POWERFUL
NEW DOORS!
Word came to me from our international advertising agents
in New York that we could now go on Radio Goa in India. Goa is on
the west coast of India, so located as to reach more people in
India than Radio Ceylon. That station is now increasing its power,
until we hope and expect it to be made as powerful as Radio Ceylon.
There are more people in this part of India who understand the
English language than there are in England! I signed the contract
immediately, and we ACTUALLY STARTED on Radio Goa April 4th. We
are on every Thursday 8:30 to 9 P.M.
We had a large listening audience from one of the bands of
Radio Ceylon way over in Malaya. Radio Saigon opened to us. March
6th I signed a year contract for a half hour every Friday night on
Radio Saigon, to start April 5th. I have just heard from here that
the government intervened, and took over control of the radio
station at Saigon since the signing of our contract, and are
refusing to permit the broadcasting of God's truth. Co-Workers,
YOU MUST PRAY WITH ME THAT THE GOD WHO RULES OVER THE UNIVERSE WILL
INTERVENE AnD EITHER RE-OPEN THIS DOOR, OR OPEN TO US A STILL
BETTER ONE, for we have had many listeners in that part of the
world who have had to travel in armored trucks, and listen behind
barred doors secretly to God's Message, lest Communists catch them
at it and stop them.
Then, also on March 6th, a national Network of four major
city stations, and many smaller ones in the Philippine Islands
opened, and on that day I signed a contract for a half hour every
Sunday from 9 to 9:30 P.M. In the Philippines, English is the
official language in all public schools, so they can understand
the Message very well there. We started on the air over the
Philippines April 7th.
Contracts have been renewed for another year on Radio
Luxembourg, reaching all Europe and the British Isles; on the
national Network of stations in Australia, on Chiang Kai Shek's
great station on Formosa, broadcasting right thru the Bamboo
Curtain to Communist China, and also on Radio Lourenco Marques,
which gives us a bigger listening audience in the Commonwealth of
South Africa than all their government stations combined.
In the United States we have recently added station WIL in
St. Louis, which now carries the program DAILY, seven days a week,
and also another station in Los Angeles, KFWB, the best station we
could possibly get on in the area at present.
Plans are being made to go on a big net-work of stations
all over South America, Central America, and the West Indies in THE
SPANISH LANGUAGE a little later this year. All our booklets are
now translated into Spanish thru our Spanish Department in
