Beginning January 3, 2010, our language project will broadcast a weekly pre-recorded mother tongue radio program. The Christian station with whom we have a contract has a fairly new tower which reaches up to 100km radius. That means these radio programs can be heard in at least part of every one of the 10 languages we are translating here.
Basically, our goal is to get God’s Word out there… literally. So, the focus of every program will be for people to hear Scripture in their heart language, their mother tongue. Wrapped around those audio segments will be announcements, songs, advertisements, intro and outro.
We’ll record six programs at a time so we won’t be in the studio every single week. I call these our cycles. Our first cycle will be the dates of Jan 3, 10, 17, 24, 31 and Feb 7. During that span, we’ll play the Gospel of Mark in the Vwanji language. I’m excited that for our very first broadcast will give the Vwanji people to hear the actual words of Jesus in their own language.
For your perusal, I’m posting what will be our very first 30-minute program scheduled to be aired on January 3 @ 6:30pm local time, 10:30am Eastern. Some of you may be in Sunday school or worship service so that would be a perfect opportunity to pray for this great new venture.
