TWR is pleased to launch our newly revitalized website to increase engagement and awareness of its global outreach. The user-friendly site offers an intuitive design and integration of the newest media platforms.

New and enhanced features include the following:

MyTWR allows users to customize their experience with TWR. Once signed up, they can view news and global staff information right on the home page based on preferences they select. Users will be able to keep track of a particular missionary, area or other item of interest.

The Listen Now page features radio programming live online. Users are able to choose one of our partner links and listen to broadcasts from around the world or listen to recorded TWR programming online. They can download, view transcripts and search for specific topics or scripture references. On-demand content is also available through LinguaBlast, TWR’s newest Web-based single-delivery platform.
 
The Global Staff page lists profiles for numerous TWR staff members and features live world evangelism statuses, such as the number of people hearing and believing the gospel.
 
The Resources page offers both purchasable resources, such as Project Hannah’s new book, “When Hope Wins,” and free resources, such as TWR’s annual ministry progress report.
 
The Serve page lists different short- and long-term positions with job descriptions and also discusses types of service.
 
The Get Involved page provides daily prayer requests, opportunities to give to TWR and an option for visitors to share their story of how TWR has made a lasting difference in their lives.

TWR-Nepal and Awana International recently joined forces to begin a new children’s program called Balbatika in the Nepali language. Balbatika was successfully launched in April 2010 over five different local FM stations. The 15-minute dramatized Bible-story program currently airs twice a week. Balbatika was introduced and promoted in villages, orphanages, schools and churches in the east, central, west and mid-west areas of Nepal in June 2010.
 
The program aims to address the social, physical and spiritual aspects of children in Nepal through mass media and practical action on the ground. TWR's hope is that children become empowered, educated, uplifted and brought into the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. They will also be nourished in the word of God and be taught ethics and values based on a solid Christian foundation. Ideally, this will nurture them to become good citizens for the nation, as well as faithful and mighty witnesses for the Lord Jesus Christ in order to bring glory and honor to him.

More than 3 billion people worldwide are under the age of 25, and a majority of them believe that God is either irrelevant or nonexistent. Millions of orphans wander the landscape of Africa; they are bewildered, angry, sad, lonely and homeless, many of them living with grandmothers or in child-headed households and often unable to go to school. Without parents, who hands down knowledge and values to these children? Who is teaching them life skills? Envision the significance of this information for potential ministry.

TWR is excited about opportunities to partner with organizations dedicated to reaching young people. One such group is Open Schools Worldwide (OSWW). Recently, OSWW Director Alan Mcllhenny and the OSWW advisory board met with TWR’s Strategic Initiatives Director Tom Watkins in our offices in Cary, N.C. Mcllhenny desires to enable “children in crisis to become children of hope.”

Established by the Association of Christian Schools International Children at Risk Program, OSWW seeks to serve marginalized children ages 7 to 15 by providing free basic education and life skills. Currently, the program serves 8,000 children in South Africa, Swaziland and Zimbabwe. Already underway is the Swaziland Open Schools Audio Project, and literacy lessons have aired since March 16 from TWR-Swaziland.

This letter recently came to us from a listener on the Serbian-Bulgarian border.

I am almost 45 years old and live on the Serbian-Bulgarian border. I listen to programs in both the Serbian and Bulgarian languages. I live in a forest, in a house without electricity and with a well in front, taking care of two cows and cutting wood.  I have read the Bible for about 15 years now – ever since I found it by accident.
 
Every weekend for the last 10 years, I have walked to the nearest church, nine miles each way. It is fine in the summer because I can do one part by bike, but when it rains and snows I have to walk that distance. Until the snow is 15 inches high, I can walk without problems, but when it is higher, I cannot go to town. I listen to you on a small battery radio that I bought in Bulgaria 15 years ago. 
 
I am lonely, but I know that God is always with me. I was okay until my mother passed away, but now I feel lonely since it is hard to find a woman who would be willing to move here.  In the late evening, the Thru the Bible teaching with Dr. McGee and other TWR programs are my only companions. I follow along with the Bible, reading with a lantern. The programs help me to be in contact with other believers since, with the exception of church each week, I cannot go far from home and leave the cows alone. Your radio program is a light for me during the long, dark nights.
