Seventh-day Adventist Church

2003 NAD Offering Call

“Becoming Faithful Stewards”

AWR COMMUNICATIONS

“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.” John 12:32 Hassan* is the only Seventh-day Adventist in his family (so far anyway). In fact, Hassan is the only Seventh-day Adventist in his clan, in his city, and as far as he knows, the only one of his nationality in his home country. You see, it is illegal to believe in Jesus as Savior in the Middle Eastern country where Hassan lives.

As you can well imagine, in a country like this it is impossible to do any missionary work on the ground. So how will the people of Hassan’s land learn about the Savior Jesus Christ? The same way Hassan did, through the broadcasts of Adventist World Radio.

For the last 31 years, the Adventist church has used radio to take the gospel to places where missionaries just can’t go. And this week alone, AWR will broadcast the story of Jesus and his soon return in more than 50 languages for over 1200 hours by short-wave national radio, AM/FM radio networks, and by satelite to hard-to-reach people all over the world. AWR’s signal can be received by 70% of the world’s population.

Adventist World Radio is one of the boldest and most effective evangelistic outreach methods the Adventist church has ever employed. No other Protestant denomination in the world operates a radio network as extensive and effective as AWR.

By supporting AWR today, you will give the millions of Hassans in the world their only chance to hear about Jesus. Hassan has the dream of lifting up Jesus in his country. And it looks as though some of his family members are nearly ready to be baptized. Pray for Hassan. His life is constantly in danger. And please be generous today with your gifts so that AWR can continue to change the world, one Hassan at a time. (Hassan is a pseudonym.)
