Nazarene Radio Expands Across PNG

God has a great plan for Nazarene Radio Ministry in Papua New Guinea. God is helping us to get on new radio stations each year.  This August, 2010, God helped us air our three programs with a radio station owned and run by the Baptist Union of Papua New Guinea. The station manager called me on the telephone and requested the three programs, KILOP, KBOM and KGS (Krais i Laikim Olgeta Pikinini, Krai Bilong Ol Meri & Kirapim Gutpela Sindaun). She said they broadcast to between sixty and seventy thousand listeners.  Currently KILOP is broadcasting on eight radio stations while KGS and KBOM are airing on 12 radio stations across PNG.

NBC/Muruk FM to its listeners while the station manager looks on.

  The newly elected DS for the Southern Highlands District, Rev. Joseph Yapasi made a special arrangement with recently upgraded 90.7 Muruk FM, Station Manager, to air KILOP, KGS and KBOM on their station. I made a special trip by PMV to the station in Mendi and gave 500 KGS, 200 KBOM and 150 KILOP programs to the station manager.
He also had me, (Daniel) record an introduce to the three programs that will be airing on the station. After that the station manager asked the DS to bless the programs with a word of pray. After 8 years of traveling around Papua New Guinea and talking with different radio station Managers I have never come across such a person of Jacob Mambi’s caliber, the station Manager of Muruk FM. I would describe him as, “The pastor of the radio station." He is not just a manager, he is very strong Christian. When he was a child he was adopted by one of the PNG Bible Church Missionaries to the US, while in the US, he completed his communication degree and them came back to PNG. Mr. Mambi stated, "I know all the hard work you have put in to come up with the finish product. I don’t have money to pay for your hard work."  Daniel responded,  “I am doing it for the soul of someone like me who was lost in sin on streets of Papua New Guinea and those out there in the villages.” The station manager said he will ensure that all the three programs air Monday to Friday and even during the weekends.
