Citation preview
Heavenly Melody's Taiwanese album
"Loving Care" won the award for Best
Religious Album at the 2003 Golden Melody
Awards, Taiwan's equivalent to the Grammies.
Throughout the years, the Heavenly Melody
Singers and their music have received six
Golden Melody Award nominations. Linda Yeh
won the Best Mandarin Lyricist Award in 1991
and was nominated as Best Non-Pop Lyricist
this year.
"Loving Care" blends the sounds of
traditional Taiwanese music with contemporary
gospel songs. Esther Liao, the producer of
"Loving Care," says the award has given her
more of a burden for the people in Taiwan.
She adds that the Heavenly Melody Singers
will continue to follow the Lord's leading on
future projects.

2003 JULY-SEPTEMBER
The 14th annual "30-Hour
Famine Campaign" sponsored
by World Vision was held August
9-10 on Taichung's National Chung
Hsing University campus. Heavenly
Melody was invited to perform
during the 20th hour of the
participants' fast. ORTV's founder,
Doris Brougham, was also among
the performers. She shared from
her own experience, saying that as
long as one has a willing heart to
help, change can occur. Go to
www.worldvision.org to read more
about the ministry of World Vision.
In August, the Sony Corporation and virtual imaging company
Orad set up a virtual reality screen in ORTV's media center where
they hosted a seminar introducing the use of this cutting edge
technology. Virtual reality production will help us enhance quality
and efficiency in the fi lming process. Visit the Web site at
www.orad.tv to learn more about this exciting new technology.
Pray for us as our technicians and TV teachers learn how to use
this new technology.
On August 9, ORTV moved its Taichung
branch office into a new facility. ORTV
directors Doris Brougham and Simon Hung
joined Jason Hu, the mayor of Taichung, and
Pastor Hsiao from Taichung Banner Church for
the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Mayor Hu, a long-
time fan of Studio Classroom, gave a speech at
the ceremony, sharing how Studio Classroom
has helped him learn English.
The choir members were grateful for the opportunity to serve in this way

In July, Heavenly Melody
began recording two
new English albums. One
album, a Christmas
collection entitled "All Is
Well," was produced in
response to the number
of recent world tragedies.
In a world filled with
disease, terrorism and
famine, "All Is Well" gives
the comforting message
that God is sovereign
and is seeking to give
His peace to everyone.
The English Zone has been designed to
motivate Beijing Olympics Committee
staff to enjoy learning English through
stimulating media produced by Studio
Classroom, reports Beijing Branch Director
Bruce Liu. Beginning in August, several
Studio Classroom teachers, including
Marijane Elliott and Debra Thoreson, will
help the learners practice interactively in an
English environment. For more information,
see www.beijing-2008.org.
As a result of the
recent SARS
scare, ORTV began
a community service
campaign called "Making
Taiwan More Love-able."
The campaign seeks to shift
people's attitudes from
selfishness and rudeness
to lovingkindness for
others by showing the
perfect model: God's love
for mankind. May God's
perfect love truly make
Taiwan more love-able. Go to
www.StudioClassroom.com
to hear the theme song.
Taiwan's southern city of Tainan is filled with enthusiasm for learning English. ORTV staff member Wilma Tan has been working non-stop to meet the requests of the Tainan City and County governments and schools. Recently, ORTV teacher Nancy Besson joined Wilma in Tainan. We praise God for the many opportunities He has given us!
ORTV teacher Nancy Besson, who helped lead an English camp in Tainan, says, "The camp was a lot of fun. The sessions went by so quickly!"
We wrote and recorded a theme song, produced a music video and asked our students to wr i te t rue stories of loving things done by loving people
As part of the campaign, ORTV
also held a sidewalk sale to raise funds for underprivileged
children
Emily Parrino and her husband,
Joe, developed a bilingual teaching
program at a local private school in
Taipei. She joins our English staff to
help with a variety of editorial tasks.
Under the leadership of Doris Brougham, the
Heavenly Melody Singers will perform 16
concerts for overseas Chinese in Austria, Italy,
France, England and Northern Ireland from
September 3-27, 2003. A special guest performer,
Suzanne Zhu, will tour with the choir. Pray that the
Lord will accomplish His purposes as they travel.
