Harnessing Media For God

I’m flat out exhausted today.
But as usual, I go to bed tired, happy, and handsome.
(They say sleep deprivation causes hallucinations.)
Let me tell you what happened today.
First, I went to Radio Veritas.
I was already there at 6:00am for our radio program Gabay sa Radyo. (It’s aired at dizzying time slots. It’s 4:00am from Monday to Thursday, 3:00am every Friday, 4:00am on Saturday, and 6:00am on Sundays. We hope to get better time slots, but it will cost more. But I’m confident that more people will join www.kerygmafamily.com and support us each month.)
Rissa Singson, Randy Borromeo, Alvin Barcelona and I were celebrating our one year anniversary as a radio program. And boy, did we have fun!
Randy is a terrific voice impersonator, so we were greeted on the air by “Mike Enriquez”, “Rey Langit”, and “Erap Estrada”. It was simply hilarious.
And another thing: For that whole hour, listeners bombarded us with calls and texts, telling us how blessed they are with our program. Gosh, it was a tidal wave!
Nakakataba ng puso.
Some of the messages we received:
“Our day isn’t complete without your program”;
“You’re our alarm clock every morning, connecting us with God”;
“You don’t know how you nourish our spirits.”
Do you want to hear something inspiring?
A loyal Gabay sa Radyo listener is a manicurist.
But ever since she started listening Gabay sa Radyo, she told us that she has grown financially because our “spiritual” radio program encouraged her to start many sidelines—like selling eggs and vegetables. Isn’t that amazing?
That's the power of media. And yes, the radio program changes lives!
Sometimes, media is used for evil. I don’t have to explain that.
But as long as I’m alive, I’ll continue to use media to bless the world with God’s love. Help me! Join www.kerygmafamily.com and support our ministry.

By 7:30am today, we were off to Camp Aguinaldo for the FEAST.
We had 3 jam-packed, overflowing FEAST sessions today and I preached in all three of them. That was 3,000+ people.
Behind the scenes, something exciting was happening: Our computer expert Paolo Abadesco was hard at work, video streaming the Manila FEAST “live” to our leaders in Cebu and Iloilo. It was just a test. Paolo reported that he needs to tinker with the system further. But once perfected, we’ll be able to video-stream the FEAST to the many satellite FEASTS all over the Philippines and the world. Wow, that’s our big dream!
In between FEAST sessions, Rissa taped for KerygmaTV, which is aired every Wednesday at 9:30pm at RPN 9.
On the other hand, I spoke also to the camera for my daily reality TV show Preacher in Blue Jeans—for the internet, which you can watch right here.
And now, I’m blogging.
Gosh, this day has been too exciting.
But tomorrow is exciting too! I go to Cebu. And guess whom I’ll be meeting there? I’ll be interviewing the great Tita Julie of Julie’s Bakeshop. (Soon, you’ll see the video in Preacher In Blue Jeans.)
My eyes are falling. I’m ready to crash to bed. What a day!
