Cambodia (TWR/MNN) ― Trans World Radio-Cambodia' s youth department hosted two outdoor concerts over the summer to promote the radio program, "It's Yours!" Attendance surpassed expectations, in spite of rain.
According to TWR, about 700 attended a concert in northern Cambodia, and as many as 1,000 joined the second one at a beach resort. The concerts were designed to reflect the format of an "It's Yours!" program, with interesting information, lighthearted commentary, and just enough about Jesus to whet the listeners' appetites to learn more.
The theme for the events was "True Happiness" and how to have real joy and peace. Active participation was encouraged with prizes such as a TWR t-shirt for those who answered questions like: "What can make you happy for a short time but in the end causes sadness?"
TWR staff performed skits, along with members of a visiting youth group from a Mississippi church. The youth also performed the Christian music for the concerts.
Because of these events, Cambodian churches and youth groups that previously had shown little interest in the ‘It's Yours!' program now are tuning in. Pray that hearts will respond to the hope of the Gospel.
