Greetings from Taipei!

The devastating tsunami of 2004 focused the world’s attention on Asia, and the outpouring of support for those afflicted has been tremendous. But the tsunami isn’t the only challenge facing Asia. Earthquakes, floods, political unrest and more have all

been happening more frequently than ever. Asia really needs the peace and security that only faith in Jesus can give!

God has placed ORTV in a strategic position with increasing opportunities to reach out throughout Asia and the world. We are partnering with the most effective Christian missions and agencies to reach across barriers of religious faiths that have strongly resisted God’s message to man throughout generations. And we are seeing results unheard of in the history of missions! We want to continue to support and empower nationals of the unreached nations who have found faith in Christ to bring even more souls into His kingdom.

We would like to challenge you this year not only to pray fervently for Asia and the salvation of the peoples here, but also to give to the work of ORTV. The more resources we have, the more programs and ministries we can support to make the Great Commission a reality. God has no hands but ours, and with your help, we can continue to facilitate the spreading of the gospel to the unsaved peoples of Asia and the world.

Sincerely,

President Executive Director

December 2004 RalliesThank you for your prayers for our Christmas outreaches in Taiwan! We rejoice in God’s

answers to prayer: We met 17,500 students at our school rallies. Over 25,000 people attended our “Christmas: It’s All About God” gospel rallies all over the island. Nearly 1,000 attendees prayed to receive Christ. An additional 1,600 requested follow-up materials so they could learn more about God.

Praise God for touching so many lives through these outreach events! Please continue praying for the seeds sown and for these new believers to grow and be discipled.

Let’s Talk in English teacher Andrea Brodersen joined the down-island tour for the first time this year. Reflecting on the tour, she says, “Meeting students after the show was heartwarming and most encouraging. I’m thankful for the instant connection I felt with them, and recognizing the love our Heavenly Father has for each one. It was also a great blessing to see how God brought our team together. His GOODNESS in each of us was shining as we were unified in service.”
