Africa Challenge is a series of programmes produced
in several languages under the umbrella of Save
A Generation.
The primary goal of Africa Challenge is sharing the
good news of Jesus Christ and providing a biblical foundation
in matters pertaining to the family, parenting, education,
business and free enterprise, agriculture, health, hygeine
and other topics of importance to the listeners.
This programme has been very
successful in east and central Africa where instruction
in life skills is scarce and agricultural
skills are at a minimum. Trans World Radio receives regular
correspondence from listeners who have been helped through
the programmes and have found the God of creation.
The programme generally follows a magazine format, but the
content changes from language to language and country to
country to meet the specific needs of the people in these
countries. The expertise of Christian professionals is often
called upon to provide valuable information to under-resourced
parts of the continent. Programme producers receive letters
from the listeners and factor these into their programmes,
answering the questions that people really are asking.
Another aspect of Africa Challenge presents
the love of Christ in a very practical way in Kenya.Kenya
faces a deepening humanitarian and ecological crises.
Deforestation in this country not only contributes to the
problem of global warming, as it does elsewhere, but the
consequences of cutting down the forests will is resulting
in soil erosion and arid land. This
will have a rippling effect on Kenya's ability to farm successfully
and provide food for its people. In many parts of Kenya where
trees are cut down for fuel for cooking, Trans World Radio
provides solar powered cookers and a programme that not only
teaches people how to use these cookers but also presents
the Gospel.
Homeless children are a growing problem in Africa. Family
violence, abuse of alcohol and drugs, war and death of not
only parents, but also the extended family due to HIV/AIDS,
are contributing factors. Trans World Radio is making a difference
in Kenya through social involvement in schools of compassion
and an orphanage. Here children not only receive a roof over
their heads but also an education and the Gospel of Jesus
Christ though the caring ministry of teachers and house parents.
Africa Challenge has been welcomed by so many people in so
many countries. The response has often been overwhelming. This
is truly a ministry reaching millions. |
