As Jafe talked to the newly-baptized members, he learned that many of them had been idol worshippers and had not known about God until they heard about Him on the radio. A few of the new members, on the other hand, had been attending another Protestant church.
In one case, a young man who had been listening to AWR obtained a tract that spoke about the Sabbath. After reading it, he wanted his father to receive the truth, but he needed to devise a means of reaching out to him. He put the tract in his father’s Bible. When his father read the tract, he was upset and confused.
As time passed, the father continued his exploration of the truth about the Sabbath until one day he heard a segment about the subject on an AWR program. The son had earlier made the decision to become an Adventist, but now the father asked all of the family members to assemble and discuss the newly-received truth.
After presenting the subject, the father announced that he had received new light that the true day of worship is Saturday. The entire family decided to become Adventists, and today they are all members of the Adventist church.
Jafe concludes, “The other thing I learned after my discussion with some of the new members in this location is that there is no church for them to go to. They said they need a place to meet for worship, and that more people could join them if they could find a suitable place. At the time of writing, there are more than 20 people worshiping at that place, ever though there is no church. As isolated as they are, no other means of evangelism could have reached this group of people if it had not been through Adventist World Radio.”
