Meet Bertha: a happy wife and mother from Papua who rejoices in the Lord. But she has a confession to make.
“I was a rude and hot-tempered person,” she admits of her life before Christ. "I was often cursing and sometimes abusive.”
Until one day, a girl, Mimie, visited her village.
Mimie is a listener community coordinator for Back to God Ministries Indonesian outreach. She is one of hundreds of volunteers at work in remote regions of Indonesia.
“I didn’t care about Mimie at first,” said Bertha. “But in the course of time, I became more and more curious about her. I found out that Mimie and a small group of friends had formed a radio listener community, and routinely listened to Suara Nusa Bahagia (Happy Sound of the Island) radio.”
The next time Mimie visited the village, Bertha asked to join the group, and she was warmly welcomed into their meetings and discussions.
Six months later, Bertha received from Mimie the gift of a small radio, and from then on she listened to the programs every day.
“I like your Rencana Agung (Majestic Plan) program the most, because in addition to the many lovely songs, the program helps me grow my faith in Jesus,” says Bertha.
“He changed my character and my life. Praise the Lord!”
Since 2007, Back to God Ministries has partnered with Indonesian churches to distribute more than 10,000 radios to people in remote regions. This opportunity to help new believers and seekers learn more about Jesus is made possible through your support.
