(November 2006) -- As many of you know, Way Truth Life Radio and our
donors have partnered with Christians in Papua New Guinea to support
the building of a Christian radio network in their nation -- the
first ever in PNG history.
We
received the following exciting report from Joe Emert:
I’m passing along this exciting
email and photo from Alan Good, our HCJB missionary engineer at
Wantok Radio Light in Papua New Guinea! All this week they are
conducting their 2006 Sharathon, an annual “friend” raiser for
the radio network. Even during this fund raising time, people
are coming to know Christ as their personal Savior! Your
investment in Christian radio in Papua New Guinea is returning a
significant and remarkable profit! In January, the ministry will
celebrate 5 years of service as the country’s first Christian
broadcasting network. Please pray for a series of Bible rallies
we are planning in PNG with Dr. Woodrow Kroll from Back To The
Bible broadcast. His daily radio program has been on the air in
PNG from the beginning and is dearly loved by the listeners.
In just 4 years, 10 FM radio stations and a Shortwave station
cover much of the country with the Gospel! Our goal is over 30
stations!! Thanks for “staying by the stuff” as we use Christian
radio with such revival-impact in Papua New Guinea!
Here is the email from Alan Good that Joe refers to:
Dear friends,
Wantok Radio Light is in the third
day of our annual Sharathon. We launched this year's Sharathon
in Mt. Hagen which went on the air in
March of this year. A rally was held in the afternoon at the
Pope John Paul Oval, which is an open field area. A group from a
local church provided music and several pastors spoke to the
crowd. This was held in advance of the evening dinner and fund
raiser. I could not stay in Mt. Hagen
for the rally as we learned
that the Ialibu transmitter was off
the air and I went up with two
pastors and Pawa Warena's brother to try
and get the repeater back on the air.
My trip was successful as I was
able to repair the transmitter on site. We quickly drove back to
Mt. Hagen to prepare for the evening dinner
which we aired live through a telephone hook up back to
Port Moresby.
On arriving back in Mt. Hagen I
learned that at the afternoon rally 20
Rascals (criminals) had given their lives to the Lord! Not only
that but one of the National Events Council members invited
these men to be a part of our dinner
and Sharathon launching. This member paid for these men to have
dinner with all of us. Not only that but she bought each
of these men a SonSet radio (solar powered and fix-tuned) so
that they could tune in to Wantok
Radio Light to help them as new believers in Christ. I have
attached a photo of eighteen of these
men with their new radios. We praise the Lord for
calling these men to Himself and for the transformation
that happened in their lives . . .
We
Rejoice with us in what the Lord is doing in Papua New Guinea.
Blessings,
Alan Good
