Description
Phase I of this project was to build a Radio Programmes Production Centre that is owned by TWR to produce Christian radio programmes for the very, very needy part of northern Mozambique. This has now been completed. Phase II of this project is now in progress for 2007.
Phase III of this project is to get a TWR FM station on the Air as there are no Christian FM stations in this part of Mozambique.
Purpose:
To get a Christian FM station on the Air to broadcast in the Lomwe and Makhuwa languages.
People Groups Reached: The people in Northern Mozambique are very poor and live in isolation from those in the South. They have very little in the way of basic necessities of life and most earn less than a dollar-a-day. While relief efforts from South African churches and ministries help in the South, the people in the north are generally without assistance. While TWR has broadcast to this region on short wave for the approximately 15 years, the FM station will be in keeping with TWR's strategy to reach people in towns and cities with FM as listeners in urban areas listen more to FM than short wave.
Expected Outcomes:
Most of the people living in the area around Mocuba have little or no access to the Word of God in any form. TWR’s broadcasting to this region has seen an incredible number of people come to Jesus Christ over the past 15 years. For many people living in Mocuba, providing a clear message of the saving grace of Jesus Christ through radio programmes broadcast from this FM radio station will be their only means of hearing the Word of God, finding Christ and being discipled in the Word of God.
A radio distribution project already underway provides small, ill-equipped churches with radios for listening to programmes in a similar way to our modern home cell Bible study.
