As the news in Europe focuses on a possible ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, a Christian radio network that reaches out to people in both nations with the Gospel is serving as a peacemaker between Christians in each country, while reaching the Slavic world via satellite and Internet radio.
However their team continues to overcome several challenges to stay on air including ongoing bomb attacks, power cuts and no heating.
SCRIPT:
Despite continued peace talks, Odessa in South West Ukraine has continued to come under intense attacks from Russia.
However a Christian radio station broadcasting from Odessa has miraculously managed to stay on air throughout the war.
New Life radio network reaches out to people in both Russia and Ukraine with the Gospel, serving as a peacemaker between Christians in each country, while reaching the Slavic world via satellite and Internet radio.
Daniel Johnson is with New Life Radio International.
Our challenge is to stay on air within a city that’s constantly bombed. Our facility has been hit. We’re just hoping that the electricity stays on so we can continue our satellite and internet radio broadcasts. To have a station to be able to work within a war-time environment knowing that our mission is to get the Gospel to two nations that desperately need to hear it that’s pretty much what we’re dealing with right now.
And New Life radio network is seeking to move out of their rented 195 year old building and purchase new offices to ensure their ability to continue broadcasting long into the future.
