How many people do each of us walk by every day who do not know Jesus? The Tide® global radio ministry is encouraging Christians to share their faith with just 10 people over the next year. “Jesus expects all of His disciples to tell others about Him and His love for them, but too often we don’t make intentional efforts to do this,” said The Tide Director Don Shenk. “Through a presence at the ‘Stand Strong’ Tour and other Christian events, The Tide ministry is reminding people to speak up about Jesus, by urging them to accept our “Have You Heard?” challenge.

Already, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is making an impact in this predominantly Muslim nation. “Without  The Tide  ministry’s programs, people in  Albania  and neighboring  Kosovo  may have never heard about God and his love,” said The Tide Director Don Shenk. “We are so thankful that people are writing to us about how they are being touched by Jesus and His saving power. While The Tide’s one program in Albania airs two days a week, the ministry’s goal for 2016 is to air its two other Albanian-language programs a second day each week as well. This will potentially increase the number of people who tune in and hear the Gospel message!” Read More...
