LCG’s Telecast Getting the Gospel to China

In its latest announcements read at services earlier today, the Living Church of God reported:

Tomorrow’s World Telecast Airs in Hong Kong and China

June 4 marked an exciting step forward for preaching the Gospel throughout the world. At 8:55 that morning, HKTVB Pearl broadcast the first Tomorrow’s World program in Hong Kong, reaching a portion of China. Due to restrictive censorship laws, an entirely new program has been produced with Evangelist Gerald Weston serving as presenter. Some programs from the regular telecast featuring Mr. Richard Ames are being re-edited to fit the requirements for broadcasting in that region of the world.

“In Search of Success” brought 78 unique visitors to a Tomorrow’s World site created specifically for Hong Kong and China. The second program, “Rethinking Darwin?” saw an increase to 91 unique visitors and has produced our first GOTO! One challenge facing the program is that we are only permitted to advertise the featured literature at the very end of the program which has a negative effect on the number of responses. However, we can know that those who have responded watched the program through to the end.

Several members have inquired about watching the Hong Kong version of the telecast. A page has been added to the Canadian website for this specific purpose—visit www.lcgCanada.org/hk.php. Please pray that God will continue to provide an increase in response, that He will provide good fruit through this program and that He will supply the means to serve any individuals He may call in that region of the world.—Michael Heykoop

For years, Dr. Meredith and I have discussed trying to reach China. Finally, a telecast door is being opened, to a degree, to accomplish this.

Currently, many in China read COGwriter articles, go to LCG’s websites, and go and see its Tomorrow’s World program on YouTube. Going on other forms of electronic media, such as local television is great, and as the above shows, LCG has long been working towards that and finally has started to accomplish it.

14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:14)

Matthew 24:14 will be fulfilled and those in China will receive that witness prior to the great tribulation (vs. 21).

And ultimately, the two witnesses who will reach the entire world (Revelation 11:3-12), will also get the warning message as well as the good news of the kingdom of God into China.

Although more will be done, it appears that throughout history, there has been some biblical witness in China, and we in the Living Church of God are trying to do our part in the 21st century.

Some articles involving the Asian peoples that may be of interest may include the following:

China, Its Biblical Past and Future, Part 1: Genesis and Chinese Characters Where did the Chinese people come from? This article provides information showing that the Chinese peoples must have known about various accounts in the Book of Genesis up until their dispersion after the Tower of Babel.
China, Its Biblical Past and Future, Part 2: The Sabbath and Some of God’s Witness in China When did Christianity first come to China? And is there early evidence that they observed the seventh day sabbath?
Asia in Prophecy What is Ahead for Asia? Who are the “Kings of the East”? What will happen to nearly all the Chinese, Russians, Indians, and others of Asia? China in prophecy, where? Who has the 200,000,000 man army related to Armageddon?
The Gospel of the Kingdom of God was the Emphasis of Jesus and the Early Church Did you know that? Do you even know what the gospel of the kingdom is all about? True religion should be based upon the true gospel.
Are You Saved? Do You Love Jesus? What is a True Christian? What is the Gospel? Evangelist Richard Ames answers those important questions.
Getting the Gospel Out is More than a Local Job Discusses Biblical rationale for doing an international, and not just a local, work.
Should the Church Still Try to Place its Top Priority on Proclaiming the Gospel or Did Herbert W. Armstrong Change that Priority for the Work? Some say the Church should mainly feed the flock now as that is what Herbert W. Armstrong reportedly said. Is that what he said? Is that what the Bible says? What did Paul and Herbert W. Armstrong expect from evangelists?
There are Many COGs: Why Support the Living Church of God? This is an article for those who wish to more easily sort out the different COGs. It really should be a MUST READ for current and former WCG/GCI members or any interested in supporting the faithful church. It also explains a lot of what the COGs are all about.
