It was towards the end of the year 2010 and we were talking about different ways in which we can serve our Lord and the diverse ministries through which we can share the Bible and a message of hope… Pablo, Mary and Cinthia Lagraña used to work in a radio program, as part of a project in the church they participated in (Nazarene Church of Padua). Due to different reasons, the radio program they carried out was discontinued for almost two years. They commented how much they regretted not being able to continue and how much they missed this activity, mostly because it is so important and rewarding to share words of encouragement and love, as well as information which can help so much people, by means of such a massive communication media as the radio is. They not only performed the program, they also visited people in need, either for support, guidance, prayers or material aids…
For several days I had this conversation in my mind and I really liked and felt motivated to begin a program of this type… for a while now I had felt the desire to do “something more” as service to the Lord and the society… and this is how God planted the seed of concern, interest, and enthusiasm in my heart to face a radio program. I did not hesitate in sharing this with Pablo, Mary and Cinthia, and I suggested that the four of us should take up again this wonderful ministry. They were happy and delighted to start once again with this activity which they yearned for and which had blessed them so much. They accepted immediately. Without losing any time, we started to think about the name the program would carry, in which radio we could air it, on what day, time, how we would carry out the program, a logo, etc. We prayed about this project and asked the Lord to accompany us in its preparation and development, to provide us wisdom and clarity, as well as the resources to carry it out.
As part of the team at LHM Argentina (Cristo Para todas Las Naciones Foundation in Argentina) , I did not hesitate in sharing this personal project with Gloria, the Director. Since our intention was to use CPTLN’s materials as a basis for bible studies and reflection which we would share in each program, as well as offering these booklets free of charge through the Spots “Focus”, for all those interested o in need of these materials or help, creating contacts for missional work for CPTLN and the Church. It has been and continues to be very important for us to count with the support CPTLN provides us, to carry out this ministry… and we are very grateful for all the help we receive!!
This is how “Healing Wounds” was born, because, who does not have or has had “wounds in the soul”? All four members of the team (from different churches) have joined together in this project in order to share words of Love, encouragement, and inspiration, sharing a message of hope, which is our Faith in Jesus Christ, who heals all of our wounds… we intend to develop a program for families, to inform and accompany those who listen to us during 2 hours a week, with reflection, current news, issues of general interest, music, etc. And we also offer our support by prayer chains, visits, and anything else the Lord puts in our hands and reach to help those who are in need, using the gifts, talents, and resources He gives us… because ”we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word”(THE BIBLE, Acts 4:6)
