Thailand (MNN) — Sometimes it’s easy to question the impact of Christian radio stations since the intended results are not always tangible. However, a church in Thailand praised the Lord when its station reached someone, actually it saved this person’s life.
Aspara*, a single mother whose husband left her 3 days before their second child’s birth, suffering from severe health disabilities, was ready to take her life one day when she felt she had no where to turn. But, with the poison in hand, God spoke to her through the local church’s radio station when it leaked into her favorite channel.
Even though the local church’s broadcast was positive, Aspara’s spirits weren’t lift much, but she kept listening and then called the number left by the pastor. After pouring all her struggles out, the pastor invited Aspara to the church. After attending the church, meeting the broadcasters of the radio station where her journey began, Aspara gave her life to Christ.
Now, Aspara cannot imagine where she would be without Christ. She has happiness and love again. She and her family shares laughs and smiles now. And what’s even more amazing is how her husband who abandoned her came back on Valentine’s Day, apologizing for his awfulness.
What an incredible story she has and what an incredible God she loves. And all this began with a single Christian broadcast full of hope in a hopeless home.
