Like An Eagle is a biographical account of my ten years in Mongolia with Eagle Television. Eagle TV was Mongolia’s first independent TV station after the fall of communism and the only local Christian TV station on the Asian continent, from the border of Eastern Europe to the Sea of Japan.Eagle TV began as a unique partnership between a group of Mongolian democrats and a group of South Dakota Christian businessmen. My story picks up in 2002 when I was installed as Managing Director of the company.Like An Eagle tells the dramatic story of how Mongolian powerbrokers and religious parties attempted to damage and shut down the TV station, and the trials we endured while we openly shared Christ through a unique ministry founded to share the Gospel of Jesus and advocate for freedom of speech, press, and conscience.In "Like An Eagle" you'll learn how Eagle TV changed Mongolia, and how it changed my life.Endorsements:When I first heard that Tom Terry was leaving his office at Cru Headquarters, just down the hall from mine, for Mongolia to manage a TV station, my silent thought was how easily many American Christians, those accustomed to the predictable life, could interpret such a move as equivalent to being sentenced for committing a crime. Tom, along with his wife and young daughters left all behind in the sun-bathed, entertainment center of the U.S called Orlando to take a bold step of faith. They followed God's call to a distant land to lead a television station and to embrace a new way of life that, from a distance, posed far more questions than answers. The result was a powerful move of God for the gospel of the kingdom in Mongolia. When most of us hear our Lord say things like, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me", our tendency is to quarantine his words under the "hard sayings" of Jesus. Quite differently, Tom Terry heard God speaking to him. The result is the story of Eagle TV. Set mainly in Mongolia, Like An Eagle tells the tale of what the gospel can do when a family says "yes." Few accounts of God's faithfulness and powerful working on the mission field are more compelling or better written than what appears in these pages. It is a story. But it is more than that. It is sheer inspiration. John Barber, Ph. D.Pastor, Cornerstone Presbyterian ChurchPalm Beach Gardens, FloridaTom Terry totally gets it. He gets it that when you start a mass media ministry in a culture almost totally alien to the Gospel, your media outlet has to relate to the needs of the people and provide a service to the people you're seeking to reach. That means news, information, culture, resources, family and marriage, entertainment—a holistic approach that builds relationship, credibility, and trust. This is the incredible story of how God planted Eagle TV right in the middle of a previously unreached and unreachable audience. With professionalism and dedication, Eagle TV has survived the birth pains of such a ministry. They overcame hostility, opposition, hardships, and frustration.This is not just a story of a TV station in a faraway place. It's the implementation of a new missiology invented 2000 years ago. It's the implementation of serving the needs of the people you're seeking to reach. It's an example of incarnating the Gospel in a way that people will understand and engage in. It's the story of a major breakthrough of the Good News into what some might consider a hostile place. And it's the story of the tenacity; talent and dedication of the man who made it happen and kept it going.Wayne PedersonPresident: HCJB Global
