Radio Listeners in India Testify About Life Change Through Christ

Even in a country that is dominated by Hindu beliefs, God has the power to reach people with the truth of His Son, Jesus. Since 1978, The Tide® has had a presence in India, today offering Gospel radio programming in eight Indian languages. For those whose lives are changed by Christ, the results are immeasurable.

“Even though new believers in India are about 8,000 miles away from The Tide ministry’s U.S. headquarters in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, we are united because of our common love and trust in Jesus,” said Don Shenk. “It is wonderful to hear from our brothers and sisters in Christ who have experienced true life change, and we are thankful that The Tide radio programs broadcast in their own languages have played a small part in that eternal impact.”

Rabindra is a listener to The Tide ministry’s Odia language broadcast called “Shanti Data” in Odisha state.

“Your program has increased my knowledge about Jesus Christ, and also I have accepted Him as my Lord and Savior,” he said.

Likewise, Kabi hears the Gospel in his Kui language by listening to the program, ‘Ehpa Gatanju,’ every Saturday evening.

“There has been a transformation in my life, as I have left all bad things behind,” he said. “The love of God has touched my heart and I have become a child of God.”

Ashish is a Hindu listener to The Tide Kurukh language broadcast titled, “Ujjna Gahi Dahare.”

“I have been listening to your radio (program for) several years,” he said. “When I started to listen to God’s message on the radio, I could realize the real love of God, and also I was able to learn many good things from this program. Now I have started believing in Jesus Christ and also praying to Him.”

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

An integral part of The Tide’s mission is to not only lead people into a relationship with Jesus Christ, but to also disciple them in their newfound faith and to equip them to share their faith with others. This is why The Tide, in addition to producing and airing evangelistic radio broadcasts, also holds Seekers Conferences to disciple the people who have just become a Christian or who want to learn more about what they are hearing through The Tide radio programs. In India The Tide partners with Good News Hour to not only produce radio programs, but to also organize and conduct Seekers Conferences throughout the year. Good News Hour is the registered counterpart of The Tide ministry in India, and as such submits regular reports to The Tide headquarters in the USA. What follows are excerpts from a recent report on a series of Seekers Conferences in one Indian state. After much time spent with the Lord in prayer, and with God’s help, the Good News Hour was able to conduct fo
