Our best will always be change. production can’t match the productions of Hollywood. Yet the letters and reports come pouring in: Pilate’s haunting question, “What shall I do then with Jesus?” is the reality of what happens when “Hope Sabbath School changed my life.” we meet Jesus. Pilate had Jesus scourged and offered the people the option of freeing Barabbas “Cross Connections showed me Jesus and now I am or Jesus. The demon-inspired crowd responded, attending Church and will be baptized soon.” “Barabbas!” Then Pilate asked, “What should I “Go Healthy For Good has transformed my lifestyle.” do then with Jesus?” And the crowd answered, “Crucify him!” (Matthew 27: 21-23). “Where can I fnd a church like Hope Channel?”

The happier she felt in her new experience with Jesus, the more determined Linda was to find a Sabbath- keeping community. It had been 40 years since she stepped into a church, but that didn’t stop her. Opening her phone book, she looked for churches that perhaps included their hours of worship.

This time I was returning to help the same team with New Life, a series of evangelistic meetings over nine nights in Ongole. Preparations for these meetings began three months earlier when 75 pastors began making contact with the families of 25 nearby villages. Visiting and studying the Bible with the pastors, these families were ready to come listen to the Word of God. As I do on all my trips to India, I wore a sari my first morning and headed out to the Sand to erect the columns field that was to our auditorium. It was a huge field—with nothing but bare ground at the intersection of two paved roads. Plopping down on the orangey dirt that covers the area to produce the best variety of rice, I prayerfully reviewed the lists of tasks to be done. By the second day, the trusses for the stage were up; sand was brought in by the truckload to anchor the columns; trenches were dug for electrical conduits. Watching everything happen so quickly and efficiently was very encouraging. We even set up a small tent with a striped canopy to function as the make-up and control room! The backdrop was beautiful! Jesus holding the Digging trenches for electrical conduits earth in His palm told the wondrous story of salvation without any words! We needed large screens to project the happenings on the stage. By my estimation, the screens had to be at least 24 feet x 16 feet. Not wanting to spend the money on professional screens, we purchased 100 yards of white cotton fabric and sewed our own screens that were held by Bargaining for Make-up tent poles, anchored in barrels of concrete. In the process I learned the art of fabric bargaining! At about 8:30 every night, the people began to arrive in flat-bed trucks and trailers pulled by tractors. We hired these to function as free transportation. It was so moving to see the vehicles pull in and people scramble off and hurry into the open field. Backdrop Screen

These were people who had worked a long hard day in the fields and then returned home to cook their dinner over an open fire. Tired and probably needing sleep more than a sermon, Morning worship they still came night after night. It was often past 10:30 p.m. when they got back onto the on the beach trailer to head back home. On opening night, children in costume performed musical numbers to welcome the guests. And every meeting began with lively--and very loud--songs that went on for about an hour. The main preacher was Dr. Frank Adiele whose English sermons were translated into Telugu by the local leader of the Church, Wilson Measapogu. Children’s The response to the messages was amazing. We had an average of 4000 people performance attending every night. The night that Dr Adiele made a passionate appeal for people to accept Jesus as their savior, about one-third of the audience came rushing to the front. Pastors and Bible workers were waiting by the stage to pray with those committing their hearts and lives to Jesus. What was even more wonderful than the experience of worshipping with 4000 people every Choir night is knowing that the messages were being recorded to be translated and rebroadcast on Hope Channel India in five other Indian languages. Imagine people in other parts of India hearing Dr. Adiele’s message in their own language! This will be happening in 12 major cities in India, beginning May 2014. Every night when I returned to my hotel after the meetings and walked past the altars of Hindu gods in the lobby, strewn with offerings and flowers, Orchestra I was acutely reminded of the Gospel Commission to tell everyone about Jesus’ love. Kandus Thorp, February 2014 Since 2001 Dr. Adiele has served the government of Nigeria as a Justice of Peace and The National Prison Counselor. He also owns several private businesses, but his primary focus is ministry. He is in charge of the Prison Ministry programme in Nigeria and was instrumental in securing Hope Channel as the only media in Nigerian prisons. He is in charge of the Pioneer Workers to Unentered Territories in the Nigerian Unions and the Welfare Program for Widows, Orphans, the Destitute and the Needy.
