Heads Up!

SUNDAY'S GUEST Rev. Terrol (Terry) W. Jones, who has a Master's Degree in Theology and is a missionary with International Missions Network, out of Dallas, Texas, will be the guest on America's Silent Ambassadors this Sunday, March 11, at 2 p.m., on station WIBG, 1020AM radio dial. When he is home from the missions field, Terry is Assistant Pastor of Covenant Life Christian Fellowship in Seaville, NJ, and a substitute teacher in our public school system. His first appearance on ASA was in May 2005.

Terry relates his experiences in northern India and also in Sri Lanka, where he serves at the evangelical Lanka Bible College in Peradeniya, Kandy.

Most exciting will be Terry's introduction of his book, "EXTREME ADVENTURE - Experiencing the Word of God," which he has dedicated to the youth and young adults of South Jersey in memory of Covenant Life Christian Fellowship's Pastor Andrew Surace's son. The book should be available in book stores and on the web in about two weeks. Terry, a missionary, educator and pastor, whose undergraduate work was in Education, History and Social Sciences, is married and a father, and well qualified for a work of this depth and magnitude. THINK! It is between the years of 18 and 30 that we all make our most important decisions in life -- those which not only impact our own lives, but those of our parents, spouse, children and grandchildren. THIS IS A BOOK FOR EVERYONE!

PRAISE THE LORD! Alan Bender, former Philadelphia electrician, who has dedicated his life to spreading the Gospel, called me last Saturday, March 3. He had just returned from Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, and in his usual ebullient way, shouted "Jo, you now have 2,000 more brothers and sisters in the Lord!" PRAISE!

"You just don't get this kind of information anywhere else!" .. "I enjoy listening to your program!" These are the two most frequent comments I receive from listeners. I ask all missionaries, long or short-term (overseas or home missions), to please share your experiences on our program so that you can inform, educate and encourage others to walk with the Lord. This May 1, we shall begin our third year of broadcasting on WIBG. PRAISE!

YOUR PRAYERS ARE REQUESTED Would you believe? According to "CLC Heartbeat", Winter 2006 edition, a bookmobile is becoming a reality in Burma! The population in Burma (Myanmar according to the ruling military junta) is about 50 million, 89% of whom are Buddhist and 6% Christian. The bookmobile will be used to deliver books and Bibles to previously unreachable areas. CLC began its work in Burma 15 years ago with a Christian bookstore, and have now published over 100 books in Burmese. Currently there are 75,000 Burmese Bibles waiting at the border to be shipped in, as well as over 20,000 books. PLEASE PRAY FOR THEIR SAFE PASSAGE. They are desperately needed, but must be prayed in!
