Well, it’s been a busy month for travel. After returning from Argentina, I had the privilege of traveling to Sanger, California, to present a “Christ and Culture” seminar on behalf of Herald of Truth. The Sanger congregation is a healthy one, and they were very interested in the material I was presenting. It’s always fun to teach a group that’s interested in learning.
Last week, Steve Ridgell and I traveled to San Salvador, El Salvador. Herald of Truth is doing a media project there, and we went to help with an evangelistic campaign as part of the project. Twelve different congregations held simultaneous meetings, then came together for a combined worship service on Sunday.
I’m doing two radio programs that are currently airing in San Salvador: Lea La Biblia, the 15-minute program I’ve done for years, is on once a week on a Christian station there; and Esperanza Para La Vida, a two-and-a-half-minute spot aimed at outsiders, airs Monday through Friday on a large, national radio station. We were able to be interviewed on three stations during the days we were there, discussing the programs and inviting people to the activities held that weekend.
Over 40 people began Bible studies while we were there. There were several baptisms. The combined service, which was planned for about 500 people, had 750 in attendance. The radio programs have a growing listenership, both among church members and non-Christians. All in all, we were very pleased with what the church there has been able to do with the tools we provided them.
