Nepal Listeners Share Impact of Gospel Programming

For 14 years, The Tide® has been recording and broadcasting gospel programming in the nation of Nepal, which is heavily Hindu. Just a fraction of the population is Christian, and The Tide programs in two languages—Nepali and Tharu—aim to lift up listeners and provide the hope of Christ.

The Tide ministry’s weekly program in Nepal is called “Prasasta Jivan,” which means “Abundant Life” in English. Last month, the speaker for the Nepali language program, spoken by 19 million in Nepal, spent two days recording 40 new radio programs.

“These programs in the Nepali and Tharu language are vital to the faith of Christians in Nepal,” said The Tide Director Don Shenk. “Especially now with an anti-conversion law in effect, Nepali Christians can come together as part of a radio community and be encouraged through these recordings. We are thankful for those on the ground who work to make these programs a reality and even face danger in an environment that can be hostile to Christianity.”

Several listeners in Nepal communicated how The Tide radio programs are impacting their lives.

“I am a regular listener of ‘Prasasta Jivan’ broadcast,” said one listener in Diktol. “The messages shared by the speaker are very practical. The messages are helping me to trust the Lord Jesus Christ here in my area. I am really blessed by the messages of this radio broadcast.”

Another non-Christian man in Nepal was told about the program from a Christian friend and is being blessed.

“Though I am not a Christian man, I like to listen about the Lord Jesus Christ,” he said. “Your program is very good. I am thankful to the radio speaker for sharing the good messages. I am blessed by listening to the messages and want to live a worthy life for the Lord.”

Another listener acknowledges that the Nepali program is indeed based on the Bible.

“The messages and the teaching of this broadcast are very spiritual,” the listener said. “Through the messages, I am learning more about the true God (and) I want to follow the Lord Jesus Christ.”

This month, The Tide ministry is hosting free informational and promotional banquets that will feature dinner, music, testimonials and reports from various countries, including Nepal:

  • September 20: 6-8 p.m. at Manheim Brethren in Christ Church, 54 North Penryn Road, Manheim, PA 17545 | Register

Letter on Zimbabwe

During August 2019 The Tide ministry conducted a Leader to Leader mission trip to Zimbabwe. One of our twelve team members was Emma, who is currently a student at Lancaster Bible College where she is majoring in Communications with a goal to eventually serve God through working with non-profit organizations like The Tide ministry. The following is a letter Emma wrote to thank the many people who made financial contributions to send her with The Tide team and prayed for her while she ministered in Zimbabwe. We share it here because it expresses so well how all of our team members feel about our time in Zimbabwe and those who made it possible for us to be there. Hi Friends and Family! I bring you greetings from my sweet friends in Zimbabwe. I am now home from our 10-day trip, and full of joy reminiscing about our trip. I returned to the US on Saturday, just a few short days ago, and then moved back to Lancaster Bible College to start the new semester on Sunday. The semester has be

The Tide Reaches Listeners in Albania Who Aren’t Afraid to Share the Gospel

The Tide   has heard touching stories of what it’s like for Christians to live in a Muslim-majority country. After listening to The Tide Gospel radio programming, one listener in Albania shared her powerful testimony. Director Don Shenk reports that Ida, a university professor, recently told the ministry that she regularly listens to a Tide radio program and talks about Christianity with her students. “I listen to Radio 7 all the time, and the broadcast has literally changed my life,” Ida shared. “I’m a university professor, and I believe God has placed me in the midst of students to make a difference for God’s Kingdom. I often share my faith with my students and encourage them to search for God and know Him.” Ida’s brave decision to share her testimony with her students can actually be a dangerous one. According to a recent Associated Press article, Albania has heightened its security efforts due to terror threats and attacks in Europe. Police have increased their presence at co
