GRATEFUL!

Recession. Economic crisis. Global market meltdowns.


Are those really things to be grateful for? Well ...yes! These realities have helped us make some key decisions about future ministry. We are honing in on what we believe God wants us to do, which means less infrastructure, more partnership and deeper investment in national leaders. We are grateful for the following this past year:


- First HCJB partner radio station on air in Nepal


- 11 students from Moscow, Norilsk, Dudinka, Tomsk and Voronezh attend a Russian radio training course


- Two new radio stations on air in Ghana


- First evangelical FM station on air in Slovakia


- Launch of mobile medical care ministry in W. Africa, seeing over 5000 patients in Sierra Leone and Ghana


- Many SMS text messages from listeners across the Middle East- Increased air time in key language to targeted people group in N. Africa


- Leadership training with partner Theovision in Nairobi (picture below)
