If
you had the opportunity of reaching 1,000,000
people with the gospel, would you do it? Every day with Christian radio we are able to
reach three entire districts in Uganda: Masaka, Rakai, and Ssembabule, plus
several islands in Lake Victoria. In
these districts there are approximately one million people living and working
from day to day. Unlike developed
countries that have many types of entertainment, radio is still the main
source of media in Uganda. It is
listened to in the homes, the work places, the fields, and the villages. Nearly every one has one or has access to a
radio. Although the radio is not nearly as
expensive to operate as in developed countries, it does cost us about $1,500
dollars a month to fully operate the station. Since the beginning, we have been able to
operate the station from my own personal support. However, with rising costs, lower exchange
rates at the forex, and the need to assist men as they go out to start
churches - the full amount of money is no longer available. We have had to cut back on many things
necessary to a radio station, including staff. As of November 15, 2008, we have $300 coming in on a monthly basis for
Word of Life Radio. We need your help! I think all of us would agree that
$1,500 a month is a small price to pay to reach one million people every day
with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. What
an opportunity God has put before us! Would
you help us? If twelve individuals
and churches could support the radio for $100 per month or twenty-four for
$50 per month, this need would be met, and Word of Life Radio would continue
to have an impact on the lives of the Ugandan people. The following is the proposed monthly
budget for Word of Life Radio: $470 – Four
staff members $380 –
Utilities (including internet news access) $150 – License
Fees $500 –
Escro (updating & servicing equipment; misc. monthly needs) $1,500
- Total
I truly know what Paul had in his heart when he told the Philippians, “Not
because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to you
account.” A radio station takes a lot
of time and work, and there is no money-making in a faith-based radio
station. However, it is worth it to me
to see one more soul come to know Christ through this ministry. Would you pray about helping us
financially? Would you add Word of
Life Radio to your prayer list and pray for us every day? I know that you will see fruit on your
account in heaven. |
