Listener Walks 3 Days for a Radio

"I WAS TRULY JOYFUL WHEN FEBC-Indonesia replied to my letter,” a lay pastor from a remote area of Sulawesi recently wrote.

"When I heard the news that a package was awaiting me, I immediately went to pick up the gift from the post office in the nearest town.

The journey took 3 days and 3 nights, by crossing mountains, valleys, and rivers without any vehicle. I had to travel on foot because it’s impossible to use transportation over such a rugged route.

I brought food with me for the trip. When night came, I depended on the natural riches of the jungle to build a shelter from wood and leaves.

Nevertheless, I didn’t grumble, because now I can proclaim the Good News to my people. Your gifts of Christian books and a radio helped me tremendously in my ministry in this remote area of Indonesia. Thank you!"
