The isiZulu Department of TWR Africa were recently awarded the prestigious FAITH BROADCASTING NETWORK: FAITH THAT COUNTS AWARD at a Gala Event at the annual Association of Christian Media of Southern Africa Conference held near Johannesburg.

The award is intended for an organization that is running a very successful project that reaches out to the community in a practical and meaningful way, other than via their principle media efforts.

1 February 2008, 4 am – the first broadcast of the Gospel of Jesus beamed from the newly built TWR Transmitter Station in West Africa! After many years of prayer, negotiation, opposition, sweat and tears, the dream of the late Rev. Stephen Boakye-Yiadom, TWR International Director of Africa at the time, to broadcast across the West African region, finally became a reality.

On 1 February 2018, TWR West Africa Transmitter Station (WATS) celebrates ten years of reaching across barriers of darkness, fear and hopelessness in the West African region by spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ, bringing hope and providing spiritual guidance to the people in this region.To date, through its relevant, culturally sensitive programs, the transmitter continues to bring hope to the seeker, encouragement to the new believer, and training for the seasoned Christian.

When I was 16, doing a good deed every day was just part of being a good girl-scout. Along with it also came the bad conscience… if, once again, I did not manage to do such a good deed that day. The good deed, however, never seemed to make up for what was going wrong in my life. And I asked myself: How on earth will I ever get an ‘okay’ from God? Later on, while driving on the highway, fear strangled me. What if this car would now smash into the concrete wall? I wasn’t prepared to meet the One who had created me. All in all, my belief as a teenager was a mix of thinking about things and just trying to do my best.

"Those who can't be trusted with little can't be trusted with much..."

Sometimes believers fall short in their giving because they feel that they have less or nothing to give because of limited resources...

Yet, the boy that gave five loaves of bread and two fishes, gave away the little he had for the sake of nourishing others, and the Lord was pleased to multiply his generosity to the benefit of all.

In the same way the widow gave the prophet Elijah all she and her son had to eat, expecting to die from hunger as a result of the drought in the land. Yet after giving so sacrificially with a willing heart to help the man of God, the Lord multiplied her oil to last until the rain came. All this happened because she gave and was considerate of others before her needs and her son.

You too could develop a culture of giving in your family by showing generosity with whatever little or more you might have, just by giving to those that don't have anything at all.
