Bordering the Indian Ocean with abundant wildlife and home to the Masai Mara where wildebeest and other wild animals take part in large scale annual migration, Kenya is one of the most beautiful countries in the world.

Despite its natural beauty, many of the people of Kenya are living in utter desperation and despair, in critical need to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

TWR-Kenya produces over 32 different program titles with over 60 hours of programming weekly. Every week 133 programmes are dispatched on CD from their office to ten FM radio stations in Kenya and to the TWR-Africa Regional Office in South Africa for broadcast on short wave to East Africa from the Swaziland transmitter site.

It has always been a dream of TWR-Kenya’s staff to own a network of FM radio stations tailored to meet specific needs of people groups across the country while reducing the overall cost of broadcasting in Kenya.

Recently this has become possible through the awarding of seven frequencies to broadcast on FM in the outlying areas of Kenya and several remote towns in the northern and eastern parts of the country where no Christian broadcasting currently takes place. Some of these towns are home to refugees who have fled from war-torn parts of East Africa. Many have experienced extreme hardship and are open to the Gospel.

In order to preserve the frequencies awarded to TWR, temporary transmitters and antennae have been set up at Garissa, Lodwar and Marsabit. However TWR needs to establish seven radio stations in Kenya which will broadcast programmes recorded locally and in Nairobi. A studio to transmitter link needs to be set up to relay programmes to the radio stations.

Please prayerfully consider carefully how you can contribute to this project which aims to reach the people of Kenya through preaching and teaching the Word of God.
