SWAZILAND TRANSMITTER DEDICATIONAre you in the habit of praying for God’s kingdom to come and His will to be done?
If you do, but secretly wonder if God pays any attention to your prayers, you should take heart and be greatly encouraged by what God is doing from TWR’s transmitter site in the small Kingdom of Swaziland.
On Wednesday, 20 April 2016, the Association of Christian Media (ACM) for Southern Africa honoured TWR Africa with a very special media award at their annual gala dinner and awards ceremony hosted in Cape Town.
The trophy is awarded to the member who have done the most to promote the family over the past year (2015).
With the adjudication, the judges were primarily interested in media that focused on family related issues and which emphasized biblically sound principles on nurturing and protecting families in Africa.
The Voice of the Church (VOC), an FM radio station founded in 1994 by TWR, celebrated 20 years of broadcasting on Saturday, 26 September at the Mavuso Trade and Exhibition Centre in Manzini. Close to 2,000 people attended the ceremony. VOC is the National Partner of Trans World Radio (TWR) in Swaziland.
The celebration made headlines in The Sunday Times of Swaziland as a Swazi-born billionaire pledged a E10,000,000 (approximately $720,000) donation for further development. The businessman (who now lives in Botswana) hearing the needs from the VOC National Director in August requested a budget. He presented this E10 million budget to companies in which he is a shareholder and explained the importance of VOC’s ministry in Swaziland.
On 31 August 2015, TWR Africa officially launches our first app for Android mobile devices in the GooglePlay store. It was developed in South Africa at the regional support office by our own staff and makes our audio stream more portable than ever.
The same audio you can hear anytime at our Listen Now page is now available for any Android device. The first release gives access to the broadcast schedule. New features are in development and in the near future what is now playing will be listed as well as detailed information (topic, speaker, etc.) for upcoming episodes of most regular series.
Efforts are already underway to release an iOS version for Apple devices in 2016.
Each week, millions of believers in China gather secretly in house churches and other ways to listen to Bible teaching radio broadcasts from TWR’s powerful short wave transmitter from the tiny island of Guam in the Pacific Ocean.
To supplement our programmes and make it possible for more to listen in rural areas, Trans World Radio (TWR) distributes unique Radio Church Kits to train and disciple believers in house church networks. Each kit includes a quality short wave radio, a Chinese study Bible, study books and programme schedules. You can provide all of these for a gift of R850 to support the distribution of Radio Church Kits. This amount also includes the cost of delivery, often at great personal risk to the carrier. You may help believers in China to not only hear the Gospel but study the Word of God and mature in their walk with Christ by donating one or more Radio Church Kits.
