THE FIRST DISTRIBUTION OF LESOTHO RADIOS THAT YOU PROVIDED THRU WBFJ & HCJB…
“The Radios Have Arrived” – It was a celebration at Harvest FM when the delivery truck showed up with 6 big boxes of radios that had finally been cleared from customs just before the end of business on Tuesday. 4 flights of stairs proved no problem when the race to the parking lot meant carrying a box on your own.
We quickly began working to get the radios into sunlight in order that they might be charged prior to distribution. Needless to say, the Harvest FM staff was elated, knowing that each radio represented a potential changed life through their ministry.
We would have never guessed that the first distribution of radios would be to the prostitutes of Maseru. After dinner, we joined with many of the staff of Harvest FM, board members, a local pastor and friends of the ministry at the corner of the park where these girls frequented. The radio station provided live coverage of the event and a local newspaper showed up to cover it as well. After a brief explanation and a prayer of dedication, we handed out almost 40 radios to these young ladies. No sermons, no speeches, no signatures, no strings attached. It was clear to these girls tonight that the love that they never see can be seen in Jesus. It was an exciting time that allowed God’s love to be experienced first hand, unconditionally.
Prisons and Villages….that’s where we expected to make our distribution…Interesting!
The life-changing message of the Gospel will speak into the lives of these young ladies currently in bondage to the prison of prostitution. While this was not the village setting one might anticipate, these girls knew each other, leaned on each other for support and each encouraged the other to take the radio and to listen. Let’s pray that the village of the redeemed will treat them as well.
It’s hard to walk away knowing that the gateway to the spoken truth held in their hands would soon be darkened by the worst of man’s nature. But that’s the way it is in life, in speaking, in radio…we’re faithful to sow and occasionally water, trusting God to reap the harvest. We don’t know these girls names, but their faces will be eternally etched in our memory. Our prayer is to see each face again in eternity. Would you join us in this? Thank You!
