But, generously to the Adventist World one asks, is Adventist World Radio Radio Offering on Sabbath, March 9? a winner of souls? Fair question. Because this offering is the "Door From a new Adventist church in Opener"—a strategy—for the mainland that has come into Church's Global Mission, that plan being almost exclusively through to bring the message of God's love AWR-Asia, the answer is a fervent to 1,800 world population groups, "YES!
