While the whole world was busy celebrating Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year last February 14, we received very sad news that Rev. Jorge Que, station manager of 1116 DXAS Zamboanga City, went home to be with the Lord. At 4:30 a.m., Pastor Jorge succumbed to stroke. He was survived by his wife, Mildred and their three grown-up children. He was 56 years old.

Pastor Jorge replaced Mr. Jose Noman as DXAS Zamboanga’s Station Manager in August 16, 2001. Back in the late 70s, he also had a short-term stint as a talent of the station before taking up post-graduate studies in Theological Studies in1980.

His call to be a pastor and teacher came before his high school graduation. By then, he was already helping a missionary assigned to their church in teaching the Samal children in the island. Despite his love for teaching, Pastor Jorge did not welcome God’s call with an excited and willing heart. Instead, he thought of other ways of serving Christ. But whenever the young Pastor Jorge wanted to run away from his calling, God always reminded him of His plans for his life. And since 1989, Pastor Jorge has served as a pastor of several local churches in the city.

As DXAS Station Manager, he provides leadership in a station surrounded by numerous hard-to-reach people groups. Broadcasting seven hours daily, their programs reach Basilan, Zamboanga, South and West Mindanao and Pagadian. It was  Pastor Jorge’s goal to bring DXAS to the grassroots and reach its target audience.

With the loss of Pastor Jorge, DXAS now faces greater challenges. We ask you to pray for the station as they look for a new station manager. Please pray for a smooth transition in leadership. Pray also for wisdom and guidance for the rest of the staff as they adjust to the recent changes.

Pray, too, for the broadcasts of DXAS as there is a need to improve their signal quality. The transmitter they are using is already old and has shown tremendous signs of deterioration over the years. And because it is an old transmitter model already, it is difficult to obtain spare parts whenever it needs to be repaired.

We also pray that God would provide the station with a clearer vision in so far as their programming thrust is concerned. May they continue to be burdened to share the Gospel to the unreached people groups in the area through their broadcasts.

And lastly, please remember Pastor Jorge’s family in your prayers, that the Lord would continue... more

From a listener in Russia:

“I became a Christian because of FEBC broadcasts…thank you! I love God and want to praise Him for the rest of my life. My parents are non-believers and they don’t want me to serve God. They don’t have any relationship with me anymore and don’t even talk to me. Please pray that God will change my parents’ hearts and draw them to Himself.”

A Testimony from a Listener in Indonesia

I have been changed and have had knowledge about faith in Jesus through the sermons I listen to every day through FEBC Manila. Before I came across your programs, I did not have enough knowledge; I had no courage. But ever since I listened to FEBC, I was able to open my heart to the Lord again. My spirit rejoices that I would continue my ministry in our little village. I have seen many miracles happen through prayer–- the Lord healing the ill, strengthening the faith and many people receiving Jesus as Savior. Thank you so much for every prayer. May God bless you!

A Listener from Vietnam Testifies

Thank God that Nguon Song Radio has been my teacher over the years and has helped me mature in my faith.  My desire is to be a bridge for Nguon Song’s ministry by introducing your material to the young people of Vietnam who do not know the Lord.

Recently, God has allowed me to serve Him through the Internet by using blogs and Yahoo Messenger.  The results have been great. I wanted to take this time to express my gratitude to you… I thank you from the bottom of my heart.  May God bless you with the power of the Holy Spirit to continue serving in the ministry He has called you to!

From a DXFE Listener

… Your radio station became my friend when I didn’t have one. Listening to you encouraged me and cheered me up whenever I felt low. Through your station, I was able to gain a lot of friends in the Lord. You made me realize that God really loves me and my family …
