Then one day, he tuned in to a GFA Radio program. As he listened, he felt the Lord speak to him.

“A new seed of faith grew in my heart,” he recalls.

Vijaya put his trust in Jesus and His Word. Slowly, the symptoms of his disease disappeared, and eventually, the Lord completely healed him. Vijaya now possesses hope for eternity and renewed physical health.

Igniting a Passion to Follow Jesus

Every year, GFA Radio receives around 1 million responses from listeners like Vijaya and Kondru. Many write to say they’ve chosen to follow Jesus or gained a deeper hunger for the Lord after listening to a radio broadcast. Each of these listeners receives prayer and a personal response to their letter.

The Lord is pouring out His blessing on GFA Radio and opening listeners’ hearts to receive the truth of the Gospel. In fact, people in some remote villages have turned to follow Christ years before a native missionary was able to come to them simply by hearing the Gospel message through the airwaves. When missionaries do reach these isolated places, they are often greeted by eager faces and hearts, hungry for a missionary to come and teach them more about Jesus.
