part of the week and set up a time for Friday morning since our plane to the Highlands was an afternoon flight. Pastor David Gham drove us out to Radio Light's studios to meet with Pawa. As we walked in the main door to the offices and studios there are large photos of the radio announcers for Radio Light. One of the pictures was of Pastor Jack who Pastor David tells us is a Nazarene, interesting! Pawa came out and talked with us and I was able to ask my burning question, are they serious about an antenna in the Highlands? Pawa took us around and showed us their new studio and offices because the last time I visited Pawa they were in a different location. Pawa took us to the FM studio, where Pastor Jack was on air. We were introduced to Pastor Jack and before we left him we were informed that he would like to do a live on-air interview of Susan and I about Nazarene Radio Ministry. So it was scheduled for just a little bit later in the morning. On we go with Pawa to talk with engineer Bob, who I did find out had been in the Highlands and did talk with someone from the hospital but I had not heard of it. They are serious about an antenna here and think that if Digicel (a cell 
phone company here in PNG, who by the way already has a tower on the hospital compound) will give them permission they could use the existing tower to attach their FM antenna. So things are looking good! They say it will take several months to get everything in order but, hey, when you have not had a radio station for nine years a few more months is not that long.So, I ask you to pray with us that this will work out and it will take place. Things keep getting better! Pastor Daniel, Nazarene Radio Ministry Director, had told me that in his previous talk with Radio Light that they would provide a small radio studio so that for 2 hours a day we could broadcast our own programming then return to Radio Lights broadcast. This could be a great tool of ministry, both for teaching and for ministry's sake in reaching the lost of the Waghi Valley. Pray for God's will to be accomplished. After Pawa and Bob confirmed to me their desire for this it was about the time we were told to come back to the studio for the interview with Pastor Jack. What took place next can only be described as amazing and a wonderful opportunity. We have established a relationship with Radio Light over the years because they air 2 of our Radio Ministry programs, KBOM, (Krai Bilong Ol Merri, The cry of the Women) and KGS (Kirapim Gutpela Sindaun, To Start a New or Good Life). While we waited a few moments to go on air Pawa told me that while he was in Rabaul and man told him that he listens to the station and to the program KBOM and that it has ministered to him. That makes 2 men that I know of who have been impacted by our women's program KBOM, it is neat to see God using this program! It was neat to be able to talk and answer Pastor Jack's questions about Nazarene radio Ministry and especially his questions about KBOM and how the program came about, some of the history of the program. But the greatest reward was being able to quote John 3:16 and lead any listeners that wanted to know Christ in a sinner's prayer on the air. I pray that some who were listening gave their hearts to the Lord that morning. We were able to give Nazarene Radio Ministry contact information, address and phone number, so be assured that if we hear from anyone there will be a follow-up article show up. We have a truly amazing God and if we are willing to follow we have no idea what avenues of ministry He may open up!
