Many older Isaan people spend their time watching the house and property while the rest of the family goes about their work. They often enjoy listening to the radio and especially to the Isaan music which is so deeply ingrained in the hearts of Isaan people. The “Life’s Answers” radio programs, a 33 episode series produced by Brethren In Christ, uses Isaan music, Bible storying in Isaan language and testimonies of Isaan people to proclaim Good News. Jesus is the answer for your life! Will you join us in sharing this Good News over the radio? A gift of $60 allows us to air these one hour programs every day for a month, on a radio station that reaches a geographical area of at least 200,000 people.
