NRB Members Team Up to Bring Gospel to Kenya Through Handheld Radio
In a collaborative effort to reach thousands of listeners in East Africa with the word of God, three NRB members recently joined forces to bring audio Bibles and Christian teachings to the people of Kenya: Galcom International, led by Tim Whitehead; Guidelines International, led by Bonnie Sala; and Your Network of Praise (YNOP)/New Life Africa Networks, led by Roger Lonnquist.
The project involved distributing 1,000 pre-tuned, solar-powered radios to the local communities of Kilifi County, a rural area, and Mombasa, the second-largest city in Kenya. Guidelines contributed much of the content, YNOP provided language translation services, and Galcom supplied the hardware and technology. By harmonizing the specialties of the three ministries, the partnership produced a specialized product to meet the needs of its target audience.
