Trans World Radio Africa

West Africa

West Africa is home to more than 190 million people, many of whom depend on witchdoctors, fetishes and animistic beliefs to carry them through life. Programmes broadcast from TWR’s station in Benin bring hope to the seeker, encouragement to the new believer and training for the Christian listener.

People groups that have had little access to the gospel are hearing about Jesus Christ in their own languages.

In a polygamous, patriarchal culture, women are finding encouragement in programmes like Women of Hope
Chronological Bible Storying presents the gospel in a format that illiterate listeners can understand and remember.
The new TWR Benin station is broadcasting programmes that provide much-needed guidance and training to pastors to help them minister better to their congregations.

Reaching Beyond Barriers - Radio Programmes for West Africa

Many in West Africa cling to hope in fetishes or their local witchdoctor to save them, help them or heal their deepest needs. Others depend on the ways of their local religious beliefs to carry them through dark times. But fear permeates much of their lives.

Reaching across barriers of darkness, fear and hopelessness, Trans World Radio is engaging people of West Africa with breakthrough radio programmes that bring peace to a potential audience of more than 190 million. Relevant, culturally sensitive programmes bring hope to the seeker, encouragement to the new believer and training for the seasoned Christian.

Oral learners, mothers and pastors are among the many people being reached through radio programmes such as Women of Hope, Salvation and Evangelism and Light and Life. People groups that have had little access to the gospel are hearing refreshing words for their soul in their own languages. The Kanuri, Yoruba, Fulfulde, Lukpa, Hausa and other people groups are listening.

“Your messages are undiluted,” says a West African pastor. “Where we miss the point, Trans World Radio is doing it.”

But we need your help to keep this ministry outreach alive. Your gift of R100.00, R200.00 or more will keep the light of the gospel flowing into the hearts and lives of people in West Africa.
