Dear Friends,

As
we get into this new year of 2008, we would like to express our appreciation to
you for your prayers and support. Thanks to all of you who participated in our
2007 matching funds program. Through your support we were able to meet
all of our obligations for last year’s ministry.

Smoke
Screen

This picture, sent to us by our coworkers in Nepal,  shows a woman smoking a pipe with her
face almost covered by the smoke. In a sense it is a picture of the people
of Nepal and many countries
in Asia. Satan has put a smoke screen in front
of their eyes. It reminds us of what it says in

2 Corinthians 4:4 – “The god of this age has
blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the
gospel of Christ, who is the image of God.” Yet, we believe in the power
of the Holy Spirit to break through this smoke screen and to make the light of
the gospel of Christ shine into their hearts. Some of the most unreached nations and peoples live in Asia.
With this letter we want to give you a brief overview of what we are doing
there.

India
– There are over 1,157,000,000 people with only 2.3% Christians. Most of
the others are Hindu at 80.5%. We are broadcasting the gospel in India in four
major languages with four native speakers.

Bhutan
– It is one of the most unreached countries in
the world having a population of 655,000 with .5% Christian. Most people are
Buddhist at 77.6%. Our faithful worker broadcasts the gospel in the national
language of Dzongkha into Bhutan
weekly.

Nepal
– This country on the roof of the world has 27,908,000 people. Most
people are Hindu at 79.6%. There are .8% Christians there. We have one
dedicated worker broadcasting the gospel in Nepali every week over shortwave
radio.

Pakistan
– This Muslim country of 160,648,000 is 98.8% Islam. Only .8% claim to be
Christian. We are broadcasting the gospel in the major Pakistani language of
Urdu weekly through our faithful coworker there.

Bangladesh
– This is another Muslim country with a population of 149,921,000 with
88.7% Islam. The Christian population is .4%. Our coworker there is
producing two weekly programs in the national language of Bengali.

North Korea – One of the most closed
countries in the world has a population of 23,597,000. The majority are
nonreligious with a Christian population of possibly 1.4%. Our coworkers in South Korea are producing a weekly program that
is aired on shortwave and reaches into North Korea.

China
– This vast country has the largest population of any country in the
world with over 1.3 billion. The Christian population is now 7.1%. We have
twelve coworkers who help us to air one daily and five weekly programs in
Mandarin and Cantonese all on shortwave.

We ask that you stand with us again this year in your
prayers and giving as we seek to reach out with the gospel in Asia
and other parts of the world through radio missions. God bless you all!

Yours in His Service,

J. A. Dodson,
President

Reaching out to the peoples of the
world with the gospel of Jesus Christ
