We’ve been hearing from Jonah who has been sharing his incredible story of how he came to the United States, escaping the Communist takeover of South Vietnam on a small boat that he and his brother built, with 17 others on board. Jonah tells how it was for them when they spotted land after drifting in the sea for so many nights and days. Had they finally made it to a place of refuge and freedom?

We’ve been sharing the dramatic story of how 17 people, led by Jonah and his brother, escaped South Vietnam on a tiny homemade boat after the Communist takeover.

Last time, we left off with these weary escapees landing on an island, thinking they were free—only to discover they’d reached Cambodia instead of Thailand! Gunmen quickly seized them and threatened to shoot. Listen to Jonah explain what happened next…

A most blessed Memorial Day weekend to you all who take this day, and weekend, in America to honor and remember all of those who showed up for our armed forces to help protect our country and way of life, and gave their own lives doing it!!

The Bible tells us in the Bible Book of John, Chapter 15, verse 13, that no one has greater love than this: that someone would lay down his life for his friends - just like Jesus laid down HIS life for us, that we may have ETERNAL life!

There's no greater sacrifice, and we're SO grateful for these wondrous acts of love! We pray that FirstLoveRadio.org provides some comfort, as we learn more and more about God's great care, and mercy, and Love!

In 1975, at the end of the Vietnam War after the fall of the then-capital, Saigon of South Vietnam, many Vietnamese people escaped their country by boat or by land. The journey was dangerous, with many people dying at sea. Our guest was one of those people, who shares about his courageous journey and how the Lord guided him and all those who traveled with him. His name is Jonah...

On our last few podcasts, Linda Eve has been sharing her story about her 5-year captivity in a labor camp by the Communist regime in the late 1970's, her escape; and then about coming to America and being exposed to Christianity. Now, on our concluding visit with her, Linda talks about taking God’s help back to Cambodia!

On our last podcast Linda Eve shared her heart-wrenching story of how she went from almost becoming a medical doctor in Cambodia to being relocated to a forced labor camp in the country by the Communists. She was there for 5 years before escaping. She told how she had to walk nearly 100 miles on foot through jungles, and avoiding mine fields, to Thailand before coming to America.

Dearest Listeners and Followers,

We want to wish you a most blessed Easter!! While the world is celebrating Spring and new life in nature, it's so GLORIOUS to be celebrating new life in Jesus Christ! Let's praise the Lord together that God sent His Son Jesus to pay the price for ALL of our sins; and that Jesus actually went to the Cross and died for us, so that WE could have NEW LIFE!

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new"!! (2 Corinthians Chapter 5, verse 17)

And we thank Him so much for the privilege of spreading that Good News of the Gospel around the world through FirstLove Radio! Thank you, also, for joining us! May you have a most BLESSED Easter in the Light of His Love! For HE IS RISEN and opened the way for new life - eternal life!! - as we follow Him!

On our last podcast, Hans Shapp told of his life growing up behind the wall in East Germany during the 60's and 70's under Communist rule; and then suddenly being deported to the West. It was like a child having free run in a candy shop. Neon lights glowed in the night skies. Music blared out from the discotheques. Drugs and alcohol were widely available. Did any of this bring Hans happiness, peace, or freedom?
