Curt leaves on Monday afternoon for 2 weeks in Africa. He will be in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Nairobi. He is looking forward to participating in the first “Africa by Radio” Convention, especially because so many of our media partners will be there. Curt is also excited to be teaching a managerial course on Nehemiah’s Project Management.
During this time Karen will be in Florida to take care of her father, Dr. John Slater, who is battling Parkinson’s disease. Please pray for strength for Karen.
Pray also for a partner station in Guinea, W. Africa called Radio Familia. They are apparently seen with much favor by the government, including the new President, and they have been granted a low power short wave radio broadcast license. They plan to target the unreached Fula-Jalon people group, which is 99.9% Muslim, and has been very resistant to evangelical witness. Of the total approximately 10 million population of Guinea, about 4 million are Fula-Jalon. Obviously a very strategic people group and project!
The target date now is to be on air next Spring or Summer 2010. Guinea is one of the least reached countries overall in W. Africa and this project now becomes a very high priority for HCJB Global. May God continue to open doors, and may the government continue to help in the process. Ultimately, may God’s name be proclaimed to the Fula-Jalon because of this radio effort.
Grateful for your prayers,
Curt & Karen
