Reaching Behind Closed Doors
Give to Women of Hope broadcasts for the Persian Speaking World
The Middle Eastern woman’s face is often masked by a black cloth hiding her from sight. This cloth represents the darkness in which she lives: physical, spiritual and emotional. Project Hannah’s Persian Women of Hope broadcasts break through this darkness, addressing practical issues on daily living as well as introducing hope through Jesus Christ. She learns she is loved by a personal God, the darkness is lifted, and transformation begins. In turn, this change leads to a transformation of communities throughout the Persianspeaking world. Your gift of $250 helps ensure this vital message of hope is produced. Suggested Gift

Equip the Church in China Sponsor a Seminary on the Air (SOTA) Student
The Church in China is exploding! More people attend Sunday services in China than in all of Europe. More than 60 million Christians in China need leadership, and incorrect teachings have infiltrated the house church movement causing confusion. In answer to this urgent need, TWR Canada provides “SOTA”, an intensive seminary-level training program teaching Biblical doctrine and life applications through shortwave radio, the Internet and in-person training. For $900 (or $25 per month over 3 years), you can fund a Chinese student through the full SOTA program. Equip China’s future Christian leaders. Many of the graduates return to their home regions and begin a home church. SOTA equips them to meet the spiritual needs of their church family, and support the explosive growth of churches in China with sound biblical education. Suggested Gift

chinese Internet Ministry According to a recent report, China has 513 million Internet users. This reinforces what we already know – that the Internet is potentially the most efficient platform to reach the Chinese people with the Gospel. A major ministry focus is reaching out to China’s youth. Modern-day social issues affecting Chinese youth include suicide, HIV/AIDS, and a youth culture that is becoming more open and bringing with it problems such as premarital sex, unwanted pregnancies, and abortions. Thanks to modernization, the Internet has become the central meeting place for China’s younger generations by providing a place to share their struggles openly. They have questions and TWR seeks to provide them with answers through five different TWR Chinese websites. Visitors can listen to programs online, download mp3s, learn English, take theology courses, and obtain mental health information. Your gift to TWR’s Chinese Internet Ministry is an effective way to reach the world’s largest people group. Suggested Gift
