Connected to a Global Community
“I was traveling with my daughter when we came across a large group of women and men baking manioc [a potato-like staple in Vietnam] and listening to the Vietnamese Women of Hope radio program. My daughter and I stayed with them and listened. The lesson about the importance of our words was captivating. After it was over, everyone joined in a discussion about the program, with each of us sharing our own feelings and personal experiences. My daughter and I loved the Women of Hope so much that we asked for lessons from other programs as well as for [Project Hannah] prayer calendars so that we could keep studying and praying. I am thankful God led us to this program and community of believers.”
Geography and language barriers separate women around the world, leaving many isolated. Yet common desires to learn, grow, and even bear each other’s burdens unite women, even across literal borders. Distributed in more than 100 countries and 70 languages, Project Hannah’s prayer calendar is a simple tool that connects more than 40,000 believers worldwide as they lift up the burdens of others by praying specific, daily requests.
In addition to creating a prayer community, TWR provides radios for listener groups in countries like Vietnam. Many groups simply form on their own to share radios and the learning experience of hearing God’s Word. On behalf of each one connected to God and the global community of believers through TWR’s transmitters and programs like Women of Hope, thank you for being a part of this worldwide faith family through your prayers and financial support.
