Radio Station Update

Dear Gang,

Greetings. Hope this update finds you all well and Jesus is Lord of your life. Just met with the group that makes and helps install radio stations throughout the world. I guess I heard what I wanted to hear that the radio system cost 10,000 and they were going to give it to us. I heard wrong. It will cost us and if we want the radio station to go out further than 10 miles we need a higher tower. Thus the system goes up and up. They told me they could build the tower here which they prefer and a 100 ft. tower in 20 ft sections could be put on a container along with the equipment and shipped. However, this system would cost anywhere in the range of 50,000 to 100,000 and it is not donated. We would have to raise the money. So i left the meeting a little down as I know Kevin and the people at the Mission saw this as a wonderful opportunity to reach the entire Copperbelt with the Gospel and even into DRC, Congo. Something to pray about. Maybe there is a grant we could apply for, not sure which way to go except to have all of you pray and see what happens. Maybe you know of a business that would like to help in this venture etc. God bless each of you.

Bobby
