WORLD CHRISTIAN B R O A D C A S T I N G
From the President’s DeskThe world today is traveling in uncharted waters. There is much uncertainty, fear and anxiety worldwide today with concerns about the coronavirus. World Christian Broadcast-ing has a very unique opportunity to bring hope and peace to troubled hearts all over the globe. Over the last three years, we have heard from listeners from literally every coun-try on the globe. We have been able to hear from the remotest areas of the world. With that worldwide outreach, we are able to bring messages of hope and comfort in 7 different languages to countless millions of people. Each of our Senior Producers are sending out messages every day to try and bring some peace to the hearts of people who are search-ing for answers. With the virus outbreak and its impact on technology providers, short-wave radio may be the only way messages of hope and encouragement can reach millions of people.
Annual Dinner Changes
Instead of gathering at a hotel for a fundraising dinner, we want to honor the latest guidelines suggested by the CDC and have a “Non-Dinner Event”. Join us ONLINE on April 16th for the WCB Day of Prayer and Giving. We will be of-fering a special program and a time of prayer on our website (WorldChristian.org) and our Facebook page. We will also offer a virtual tour of our studios in Franklin. 100% of the support given on that day will go toward our ministry without the expense of a meal and venue rental.
Remember, April 16th will be a day of fundrais-ing. The funds received that day will be crucial as we enter the spring and summer months when continued support is greatly needed. Please consider blessing us with the support you would normally give at our annual dinner. Check WorldChristian.org for more details as we near April 16th.
And Here Is Some Good News
I am happy to inform you that our:- 5 antennas are running and sending out the gospel every day to the entire world- Madagascar minibus that had the “zebu cart” accident is close to being repaired- Arabic Facebook page is getting 1,000 new followers every month and had 500,000 engage-ments the last 6 months- Russian website is getting 70 unique visitors every day- Number of listeners contacting us has been increasing over the last few months
Also, in this newsletter you will meet a new brother in Christ from our Portuguese broad-casts.
I thank God for you and what you mean to this ministry. We have a golden opportunity to demonstrate the peace that passes under-standing during a time of uncertainty. Let’s watch God work and bring Him glory.
- Andy Baker

WCB Responds To Coronavirus
Coronavirus occupied the front and center of WCB programming this month. We conducted interviews, produced reports, said prayers regarding people in crisis, and aimed to bring listeners closer to God. Prayerfully, listeners continue to put their trust in God and strive to live according to His truth and the example of Jesus.
Reports Reporting the coronavirus is in itself challenging. What is our purpose? What impact do we hope to see among our listeners? We go to God and ask “what would Jesus do?” Several reports focus on how Christians respond to the crisis. One is a confession by a church minister in Singapore after five members were infected with the coronavirus. This was a powerful witness of faith. Another report is about how a local Chinese church in Nashville responded to the crisis and worked to get 1,200 masks and 4,000 gloves sent to a hospital in Wuhan. Beyond reporting responses to crisis by Christians today, we also draw examples of how God’s people responded to challenges in biblical times. We pray that God uses the coronavirus crisis and our radio programming to turn listeners toward the God who created the universe and is in control of everything.
The center of the coronavirus crisis is maintaining good health. Yet, considering the origin of coronavirus, the problem is much broader than health. For example, how do we manage what we eat? How do we manage other animals cohabitating with human beings in the same environment? These were questions Chinese listeners asked when coronavirus broke out. We took the questions to Dr. Jianwei Li, a leading scientist in agriculture at Tennessee State University. Dr. Li, a Christian by faith, assisted our listeners to realize how the earth was created by God for our habitation.
Interviews
As the crisis spread worldwide, we realized human behavior is also impacted by the coronavirus. Issues such as rumors and fear, death and anxiety, quarantine and loneliness, and closed cities and uncertainty became popular topics of discussion. But, while loss of normalcy is being forced upon people, love and faith experience no limits. Dr. Yaling Wang, Coordinator for Chinese affairs of Joni & Friends, visited us in studio and shared stories of love and faith. We pray that God uses Dr. Wang’s interview to bring courage to the crisis-sickened Chinese around the world and to lead them to God who is the source of love and faith.
Prayers
Our first effort responding to the coronavirus is to post daily prayers on our website and in our daily radio programs. Each day we pray for people and their needs. We pray for doctors, nurses, government leaders and scientists; we pray for patients and their loved ones; we pray for people to heed God’s call for oneness and to love one another; we pray for people who fear losing everything and we give thanks to a God who gives us everything. Please pray for our listeners, producers, and programming. We thank you for your support and interest in our ministry.
