LCG Producing Telecasts for China!


Righteous(ness)	= Sheep	+ I, Us

COGwriter

One of my prayers was answered. The following was announced at LCG services yesterday:

Mr. Gerald Weston and several staff from the Canadian Office were in Charlotte to film new programs for future airings in China.

Gerald Weston is an evangelist of the Living Church of God and he is based out of Canada.

Now, there was a reason to believe that this would happen as LCG previously announced:

Mr. Gerald Weston reports on his and Mr. Stuart Wachowicz’s recent visit to China: The trip was most helpful as we were able to meet face to face with individuals who can put us on the air in a number of Asian markets. We were also able to view some television firsthand to see what techniques are being employed for news programs and what religious programming is currently on the air in Hong Kong and Guangdong province. We were encouraged by the assistance we would be given and by the opportunities currently available to us in several Asian countries…. both Mr. Wachowicz and I were very much encouraged by the potential we have to reach such a large portion of the human race. There are opportunities open to us that we could not have imagined six months ago. Your continued prayers for God to keep open these doors and His guidance and assistance in walking through them are appreciated (Living Church of God, World Ahead, Weekly Update, August 26, 2010)

But, I have been praying for years that we would be better able to reach China (and other Gentile-dominated lands). The fact that the telecast for China has moved this far forward is fantastic. As Jesus said:

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 to the degree that Christ expects it to be. The China move is a step in that direction. We need to pray that the forces of Satan (cf. Ephesians 6:12) do not prevent this.

In addition to being the COG with by far the most effective telecast reach, LCG also has had many public Bible lectures (called Tomorrow’s World Special Presentations or TWSP) to reach interested listeners in person. It should be mentioned that these Bible lectures were held in various countries and there have been well over 3,000 people who attended them that were not in LCG.

Some TWSP lectures were also held in Canada and Switzerland last week, and I believe one is being held in Louisiana tonight.

The recent developments related to China hopefully show all with ears to hear and eyes to see that LCG is serious about trying to fulfill the great commission (Matthew 28:19-20). This is really good news.

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.
