wonderment

While I was fasting during lunch today, I went back to a retreat I did a couple of years ago. At that time, I had absolutely no idea the significance of the questions but now, my brain hurtled into 1st gear.

Everything clicked into place. I finally caught the vision that MuShi and other people have been drilling into my head!

Gospel radio in Singapore.

It will touch one heart at a time, yet it will become like a mighty fire descending on the people. Like when God’s Holy Spirit came upon the disciples that Pentecost day.

There were times when I saw glimpses of this vision and my heart beat faster.

Other times when my heart slowed with anxiety because of the magnitude of it.
It sank even deeper when I saw the vision in the light of how much I could do for it.

But if so, then Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah and Timothy would have sunk as God’s mighty mouthpieces.

In any case, Singapore has absolutely no concept of what gospel radio is. From Monday to Friday, Christians are bombarded with worldly messages coming from non-Godly avenues. Unless they attend prayer meetings and weekday church services, their only source of Christian feeding comes from church. And even then, it isn’t as convenient because of the travelling time, work limits, etc.

Christians have to begin drinking God’s water gushing out from the Rock and not keep crawling back to their broken cisterns. If they keep doing that, they’ll be of no use to the world. If they feed from a broken cistern all week and only go to a fresh water source for 2 hours on Sunday, they are more likely to show the consequences of drinking stale stagnant water than having fresh water course through their veins.

If gospel radio in Singapore takes off, it will become a fantastic source for fresh water. Of course, it must be relevant and global. As good as our American counterparts. Gospel broadcasters should exploit the advantages of radio broadcasting to its fullest.

Gospel radio should change soul attitudes, not mental attitudes.

Gospel radio (for the very fact that it is gospel) should know the limits and push it right to the edge, getting people to think.

Gospel radio should be as competitive as commercial radio.

With the recent spate of large scale blackouts, radio was the first thing that people turned to for up to date news.

With the times of the era turning, gospel radio should be the first thing Christians and non-Christians alike should turn for up to date news.

And because the region is so unsaturated with gospel radio, let’s do it!

Things have been falling into place in the past few months.

1) I’ve finally figured out what I want to further my studies in: broadcasting. So far I’ve only come across schools in the UK and US (but fear kicked in) and one that’s being heavily considered is the New Zealand Broadcasting School.

2) More and more people are coming up to me and telling me how beneficial gospel radio is in keeping them in touch with Christ all week.

3) “Grace to you” is going to take half my slots beginning November which means I have much more room to do the kind of programs I’m interested in.

2 years ago, I had no idea if I had made the right choice to go into Mass Communication and Kayyona told me then that I was cut out for communication. I pooh-poohed her idea, being very very sure that I wasn’t going to touch Mass Comm ever again.

How wrong I was. I wonder if she remembers telling me that.

In retrospect, God was already moving my life into place 7 years ago.

How freaky yet how wonderful that Someone cares enough to put little events that will culminate in the fulfillment of His purpose.
