A Christian can never be too careful about what he prays for as Anthony Barkhuizen discovered when he prayed the Jabez prayer back in the mid 1990’s. As Jabez prayed, so did Anthony, asking God to enlarge his territory - and God put him into the hot seat as Director of TWR’s Broadcast Department for the TWR Africa Region.

Today we bring you to South Africa to listen to three TWR staff members tell of their holiday traditions. Listen to the vital importance of close relationships to the African people.
“In 1900, it is estimated that there were about 7.5 million Christians on the continent of Africa. Today, there are about 500 million, out of a population of around a billion people!”
A church at Chikomo in Angola, which began as a result of TWR broadcasts from Swaziland back in 1979 is still going strong, with about 150 members. Rev. Isac Silvano, retired Area Director for Southern Africa, was at the time responsible for producing a programme called "Yeva Ondanka" in the Umbundu language of Southern Angola.
