ORTV Kicks Off Friday Night Live 2004ORTV Kicks Off Friday Night Live 2004
After each opening session of Friday Night Live, attendees divide into small groups. The small groups are led by an ORTV teacher and a Chinese helper. Students learn about the Bible and practice their English as they participate in the class discussions. The Friday Night Live program is also available via Webcast, and Bible study lessons are included on the ORTV Web site. ORTV hopes to reach more people this year through this exciting new outreach program and Bible study format. Please continue praying for this part of ORTV’s outreach ministry in 2004.
n January, ORTV began its Friday Night Live Bible Study and Kids’ Club at the Shi Lin Bread of Life Church in Taipei. There has been an enthusiastic response so far, with over 700 adults and kids at each session. Students age 12 through adult participate in the English Bible studies held in the main sanctuary. At the same time, up to 200 children ages 7 to 12 join in games, activities and music offered through the Kids’ Club program in the church’s chapel. The Friday Night Live opening sessions feature music by Heavenly Melody and ORTV’s praise and worship band. They also include entertaining skits and English activities. At the first Friday Night Live on January 9, Doris gave an inspiring message to kick off this new year of Bible studies. The focus of her message was “Why study the Bible?” The nearly 600 attendees were encouraged to read and study God’s life-changing Word. The second session focused on blessings from God and the third session began the new series about the parables of Jesus.

Did you know?It costs US$2 to follow up (sending gospel literature, making phone calls) on one Taiwanese person who has accepted the Lord or requested more information about God at one of our rallies.
ORTV is committed to financially supporting a group of six Uighur evangelists working in Muslim villages in Kazakhstan and its surrounding countries. Each evangelist needs US$100 a month.

en Rigor returned to the Philippines on December 14 with his wife, Fely. Ben, or “Uncle Ben” as he was affectionately known to many, served with ORTV for 35 years. God has given Uncle Ben many wonderful music talents. Not only can he play six different instruments, but he is also a master at arranging and improvising. He is one of few people who can transcribe each instrument’s part after simply listening to a piece of music. For over 35 years, Uncle Ben has faithfully served with the gifts God has given him. At age 80, he still plays whenever he gets a chance.Ben began his career playing in jazz clubs, and he testifies that his life changed completely after he came to ORTV. Although he had always attended church, it was here that God taught him what it is to live as a born-again Christian.“Ben really exemplified humble service,” shares Doris Brougham, ORTV’s founder and International Director. “He was willing to play wherever and whenever we needed him. He was always there, always on time, and his music was always very professional, top-quality.”Taiwan was truly a home away from home for Uncle Ben and Auntie Fely. Their children and some of their grandchildren grew up here. They left with fond memories of serving the Lord in Taiwan and different parts of the world with Heavenly Melody.
