Save the Satellite

Dear friends and family,
I know everyone is rethinking life, being a little more cautious than usual. But what I want to share with you now is weighing heavy on my heart. Our job is not done. There are still many that don’t have the hope we enjoy.
You may be familiar with Indonesia - a vast country made up of over 17,000 islands just north of Australia, south of Vietnam.

How do you reach a country so spread out and divided by large stretches of ocean? Obviously the best and cheapest way is by satellite! And we now have a satellite signal covering all of Indonesia and Malaysia with the three Angels’ messages. But the donor who has been supporting this signal has suffered a setback in business and can no longer pay the satellite bill.
It could go off the air any day now!
Satellites are thought of as very expensive. But this one costs only about $10/hour to run including production costs!
Many individuals, families, or groups that are located on remote islands don’t have access to a church. There isn’t one on their island. So this satellite signal (called HCBN Indonesia) is their church, and the presenters are their church family.
I can’t bear the thought of taking away their church.
This entire satellite ministry costs less to operate than many entire churches in America! If we all pull together we can save this ministry and even give it some much needed upgrades!

Here’s a little video to give you a sense of Indonesia.
Currently we are behind a few months - $20,000 on the satellite bill. Plus, they need to replace some equipment to make sure everything is serviceable again.
Please pray for this satellite ministry that has nearly 300 million people under its footprint. Pray to God for a miracle so it won’t go off the air permanently. Pray for the funds to not only keep it on the air but also upgrade it so it will be even more effective for the Kingdom.
Thank you and God bless.
