A SURPRISED BY JOY EVENING

Two pastors have asked us to host "A Surprised by Joy Evening" in their area. One in Venice and the other in the San Fernando Valley. If you or your church are interested in attending or hosting this event please contact us at JSNarnia@aol.com.

RADIO

This summer we had three opportunities on the radio. Kim Dang and I had to field some very hostile Buddhist callers on his Christian program in Little Saigon. How would you answer the accusation, "You've sinned against the Buddha by becoming a Christian?" They didn't like my answer from the Ten Commandments. Kim was threatened on the air and reminded the caller that this is a free democracy. The next day, Kim was offered protection from the local police department. The upside is the radio station owner, a Buddhist himself, wanted to have me back and talk with us more and offered to give Kim more free air time. Evidently, controversy is good for business.

The second show with Jane Chastain was thought provoking as the interview covered the Christian response to the Free Tibet movement and China's Most Favored Nation Trading status. Tim and Al's Show out of St. Louis, Missouri probed the events that occurred at the Smithsonian. One of the listeners happened to have a brother who is into Buddhism and is opening a religious goods store in the Midwest. He was encouraged by my testimony to continue to pray for his brother.
