The Tide®

The COVID-19 global pandemic has forced people into isolation worldwide, including in Albania, where we have shared the Gospel over the airwaves since 2015. “But when we open our hearts to the Gospel, we are never alone,” said Director Don Shenk. “Christ is always with us, to the end of time, and all of us at The Tide ministry are praying for every listener in every corner of the world who is going through difficulty—whether sickness, the death of a loved one, the loss of a job or feelings of isolation, worry or fear.” Like in many other countries, schools and churches in Albania remain closed, activities have been cancelled, any many families are experiencing unprecedented challenges. Amid all this, however, many are finding hope through a program called “Sipas Fjales”—meaning “According to the Word”—which airs through The Tide ministry throughout parts of Albania and Kosovo—and beyond due to online efforts and media downloads. Aleksander from Shkoder in Albania reports that he is ...

As we bring you this Easter greeting on behalf of The Tide ministry we encourage you to spend time meditating on the following few verses: While he was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head. Some of those present were saying indignantly to one another, “Why this waste of perfume? It could have been sold for more than a year’s wages and the money given to the poor.” And they rebuked her harshly. “Leave her alone,” said Jesus. “Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me. She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand to prepare for my burial. Truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in me...

For the past two years, The Tide has shared the Gospel in Thailand in the Isaan language, spoken by 19 million people throughout the Buddhist nation. The Tide ministry’s presence in Thailand was significant, as it marked the 25th broadcast language for the global organization. The Tide ministry’s work in Thailand began in 2017 with 45-minute programs that included music, testimonies and passages from the Bible. “Residents of villages in Thailand received storyteller devices so they could listen to the programs in their own language,” saidThe Tide Director Don Shenk. “Now, however, The Tide is branching out to reach even more people in new ways. Thirty-two episodes of the ‘Life’s Answers’ program have been shortened to 30 minutes and are currently available on YouTube and Facebook. Shorter Bible stories, about four to seven minutes in length, are also being posted and will allow for an entire new audience to hear the message of the Gospel and the hope of Christ.” The Tide program...
