The SPANISH RADIO BRQAOCAST is on the air at lastj Twice monthly the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is sent forth via the mighty 150,000 v;att tower of station XELD, Juarez, Mexico, to a vast audience of Spanish-speaking people in the United States and Latin-America, The program, known as "LA VOZ DE VERDAD" (The Voice of Truth) is heard at 6:30 P.M. (mst) every other Saturday, The program, emceed by Freeman Bump, consists of recorded gospel music and preaching, Bro, Augustine Ortega, professor at Colegio Biblico in Eagle Pass, Texas, is our radio preacher. His strong doctrinal messages are clear and pre
sented in a spirit of love. We thrill at each broadcast with the knowledge that many are hearing the Neiv Testament Gospel in its purity for the very first
time,

We print herewith some of the comments made by those

in response to the broadcast:

who have written to us

This letter comes from Namiquipa, Chihuahua: "...We have been listening to your broadcast on Saturday. Please send us your correspondence course."

From Rock Springs, Wyoming: "...last night on the radio station from Ciudad Juarez I heard a very nice program where the Word of God our Lord was preached
and I was very happy over what I heard preached...."

From Guerrero Negro, Baja California: "Dear Brethren, By means of this let ter I direct myself to you, hoping that the blessing of our Lord Jesus Christ accompany you, and to tell you that about 2 months ago I began to understand the truth of things, that is, the Word of God our Lord.,,,,.It has been about 3 days that I listened to the program on the radio that represents the Church of
Christ and I liked i t so vjell that I listened to all of i t . Please send me the

correspondence course that you are offering...."

We must huve mofe helpl

To continue broadcasting, we must have more regular financial support. We must have S55 for each program. If only 22 persons or groups would send 010,00

per month, we could put the program on every week instead of just twice amorrthi
Will you make this a matter of prayer and concern?
