The Prayer Challenge #3
October 30, 2024
Prayer Challenge: Ask God to interrupt peoples’ days with the good news of the gospel—and, if possible, to use THRU the BIBLE to carry them through their faith journey.
What’s on your radio dial?
“I was an engineer in Mexico but came to the U.S. when my daughter was born with severe autism. There weren’t many work options, so I took a job at a car wash. It was a habit among us to get into the car and automatically turn on the radio to whatever station it was on while washing the inside.
“One afternoon, I turned on the radio as usual. What I heard was a strange Bible study program called THRU the BIBLE. In my haste to get to the next car, I regretted not being able to finish listening. As I got inside the second car, I turned on the radio and was surprised that the same program was being broadcast, on the same station I heard in the previous car. This time I listened even more attentively.
“When I got to the third car, to my surprise—and likely gift from heaven—the same program was on. That was when my defenses fell away, and I surrendered to Jesus right there. I told my wife, but she wasn’t interested in such things. However, about six months later she surrendered to Jesus, listening to you as well.
“Not long after, I started to attend a church in San Diego and study theology. To date, we have planted three churches among Hispanics in the area. Recently, I began broadcasting my own radio programs from home and love to reach others for Jesus.” -Alejandro in San Diego
