In the wake of unrest and riots in recent years, Kenyans face uncertainty on every side. This reality is leading many to seek answers and solutions to the problems surrounding them. Radio is the most widely used communication tool in Kenya. A substantial number of Kenyans have access to radio, their primary source of media information and entertainment.

TWR-Africa has long hoped for a network of radio stations reaching listeners throughout Kenya. This has been made possible through the acquisition of seven frequencies for FM broadcasting in outlying areas of Kenya, which will include 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. Through FM radio, TWR has an open door for extended ministry in Kenya.

Known on the air as “Sifa,” which means “praise” in Swahili, TWR-Kenya's network produces more than 35 different programs, with over 60 hours of programming aired weekly.

Please prayerfully consider a contribution of R100.00 toward this project to reach the people of Kenya with God's Word.

With a potential audience of over fifty million, TWR is breaking new ground in a comprehensive strategy of daily programming. The goal of this project is to saturate the Swahili-speaking world with forty-five minute daily blocks of varied programmes whose aim is to reach women, children, leaders and oral learners with the Gospel and with wholistic health programmes. Some of these programmes include Women of Hope, Family upliftment programmes, TTB Neno ( Thru The Bible in Swahili), Oral Scriptures, Witness at the Water and Foundations for Farming.

This story, from a TWR missionary visiting listeners in Kenya, is a powerful example of what happens when God’s Word breaks through to even the most desperate soul:

Voi is a small, impoverished town. There I met a wheelchair-bound TWR listener named David who shared this testimony. He has been paralyzed for more than 10 years after being struck by a car one night, while he was walking on the road in a drunken stupor. As he often did back then, David had spent what little money he’d earned by working on a farm to buy alcohol to drown his sorrows. He was poor and felt he had nothing to live for.

After the accident, David woke up in the hospital, fortunate to be alive. But he cursed God for what happened to him, and he also heaped verbal abuse on his wife and children until they couldn’t take it any longer. In desperation they asked the pastor of a local church to visit David, which he did several times while enduring David’s bitter verbal abuse. But one day the pastor brought a radio. As David became abusive, the pastor tuned the radio to TWR, turned up the volume, put it out of David’s reach, and left.

David had no choice but to listen, and he was challenged by a speaker who told of God’s love for him even though he may be walking through the valley of the shadow of death. The next day David listened again—and then again and again until he gave his life to Christ! With tears in his eyes, David thanks TWR for our programs. Today he plays guitar in his church, and it’s all because someone gave so he could hear the gospel.

If you have a passion to reach women, children, leaders, oral communicators or communities with developmental health needs, this is an answer to your prayers.
