The TWR “Women of Hope” radio program has started airing in Japan. 11 of the 34 Japanese FM stations that carry TWR programming began broadcasting Women of Hope last month. Long known as stony ground for missions, ultramodern Japan is home to the second-largest people group still unreached by the gospel.
In addition, TWR Women of Hope is developing a new program, called Precious & Beloved, that reaches out to women from Muslim and other faith backgrounds. In deep yet simple and unintimidating fashion, it tells them of a loving father who sees them as precious and beloved and can transform their lives.
“Almost everywhere in the world I travel, I see God blessing the ministry of TWR Women of Hope!” TWR President Lauren Libby said. “For the past 25 years, Women of Hope has brought deep, transformational ministry to women. I saw huge evidence this week as I have attended our Asia ministry partner conference. Dr. Peggy Banks and the global network of WOH leaders are planting and growing spiritual seeds of hope in women and families. Those seeds are yielding lasting fruit!”
