Hi all,
New opportunities for ministry come along all of the time. Many of them are things that we dream about being able to do in the future. Some are things that we didn't even expect to come along. Well, we at HCJB Global Latin America have been waiting for some new opportunities to open up for a while now. These opportunities involve ministry in two of Latin America's largest countries, Mexico and Brazil.
Mexico and Brazil have long been countries we have broadcast to via short wave and we have wanted to expand our ministry and reach into each of them. Yet radio licenses issued by the federal government to Christian broadcasters have been rare in both countries. Yet just in the last couple of weeks we have heard of one group in Brazil and perhaps two groups in Mexico who may have been issued legal radio licenses. The license in Brazil is particularly encouraging as it may well open the way for several more groups to obtain a license by using the same process. So please be in prayer for these groups and the new opportunities that we may have in helping these groups bring christian radio to their local communities and reach out with the Gospel message to their neighbors.
Don't forget to watch the video of our ministry here in Latin America at:

New Video
Hi all,
I wanted to let you know that HCJB Global in Latin America has just posted a new video to YouTube that I would invite you to watch. We made it initially in Spanish and decided to translate it to English as well. It describes our ministries in Media quite well and shows the diversity of ministries that we have in Latin America. We also have the video on DVD that we can make available to you all if you would like a copy. The DVD has higher video quality. I would encourage you to share the video with your churches, friends, family, mission groups, etc.
What the video does not show you are our plans to move more into digital media in the future. We have been talking for a long time about how we can begin to really use the internet for ministry in the future. Some of those ideas are beginning to come together and we hope to start using some things like FaceBook, podcasting, internet streaming, etc in the near future to create new audiences. We do need to be careful that we create ministries that we can sustain financially in the future, and that is our biggest obstacle at the moment. If anyone has experience in these areas or some good ideas to toss our way, by all means write to us on e-mail. We would love to hear your ideas.
OK, just click on one of the links below to watch the video.
