Dear friends
As a relatively new grandfather, the idea of cultivating young hearts and minds with the transformative power of God’s Word excites me.
I’m thrilled to let you know that our vibrant new 24/7 Kids audio channel has now launched!
VISION KIDS is full of uplifting Christian music, engaging stories and friendly voices under 12’s will love. Pop Vision Kids on while they play, or listen in the car to immerse them in God’s Word – you might even find yourself drawn into the stories or singing along to the songs too (I have been 🙂 )!
To listen, just open the free Vision Christian Media App or visit visionkids.org.au. Have a listen and spread the word to all the kids and parents you know!
‘I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.’ – 3 John 1:4 ESV
I’m also excited to report that we are now very close to securing our place on DAB+ Digital Radio in Brisbane – over 72% of the $1 million need has now been raised, praise God!
We are so encouraged that the Vision family nationwide have rallied behind this important initiative, and by faith we are believing that the final steps will be achieved before the August 15 deadline. This will underwrite our ability to secure this opportunity long-term.
Would you prayerfully consider how you can help take the final steps to secure this Gospel opportunity with a donation or pledge of support (to fulfill at a later date)?
We have often prayed for more opportunities to reach deeper into Australia’s big cities. In recent years our prayers for Hobart were answered and right now it seems our prayers for Brisbane are as well—this time through DAB+ digital radio.
We’ve had a wonderful response to our trial of broadcasting Vision Christian Radio and V180 Radio on DAB+ across Brisbane too, including those who have discovered Vision for the very first time.
Thank you for considering how you might be able to help.
Finally, in these times when so many seem to be coming against the work of God’s people, let me encourage you with Jude’s call to remain faithful:
‘But you, my dear friends, must remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ predicted. They told you that in the last times there would be scoffers whose purpose in life is to satisfy their ungodly desires. These people are the ones who are creating divisions among you. They follow their natural instincts because they do not have God’s Spirit in them.
But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit, and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in God’s love.
And you must show mercy to those whose faith is wavering. Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Show mercy to still others, but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives.’ (Jude 1:17-23 NLT)
God bless you,
Phil Edwards
Chief Executive Officer
P.S. We are so very encouraged by the testimonies and comments we receive daily—like this one from Wai in Melbourne, who said ‘Vision is like a light in the midst of the confusing messages we hear every day. Keep shining for the Lord Jesus and His Word.’ With your help, we can!
