Trans World Radio Minictry marks growth in Kenya

The Trans World Radio staff in Kenya has always dreamed of being able to broadcast from a network of FM stations--broadcasts specifically geared for the needs of the people of Kenya, reports MNN.

That dream now is on its way to becoming reality. TWR was recently given seven FM frequencies which reach out into Nairobi and other remote areas in the north and east. Many of the villages they will be able to reach have never had a Christian broadcast available. Many of the people in these villages are refugees who have fled from war-torn areas of Africa and faced incredible hardships that have made them open to the Gospel.

At this point, TWR has placed temporary transmitters and antennae to preserve their new frequencies. But for long-term use, seven permanent radio stations need to be built. Broadcasts would be recorded locally and in Nairobi and transmitted by a studio-to-transmitter link.

TWR's work in Kenya currently consists of 32 different programs with more than 60 hours of programming every week. The Kenya office dispatches 133 programs on CD to their Regional office in South Africa which then transfers the programs to Swaziland.
