Radio Ministry Upgrading

Radio Ministry is currently airing two programs, Krai Bilong Ol Meri (KBOM) and Kirapim Gutpela Sindaun (KGS). Both are written and produced by PNG nationals for the country of Papua New Guinea. KBOM is a 15-minute program reaching out to the women of PNG. Nevertheless, men have responded saying the program has helped them, too and currently is the only program of its kind on the air in PNG. KGS is a 5-minute devotional program geared to the general PNG population. Both KBOM and KGS can be heard on nine different stations across PNG. One station, Radio Light out of Port Moresby, also airs short wave reaching the entire country, including the outer islands and the fringes of Indonesia!

In the works is a program targeting children. This radio program is under the direction of Aisak Wai, Director of Children’s Ministry in PNG. Another program in the concept stage is a program to reach the men of PNG. We thank the Lord for His hand upon Radio Ministry here in PNG. Pastor Daniel a few weeks back went into one of the trade store here at Mt. Hagen to buy radios for the ministry. While he was in the store he got to talking to the owner about the ministry and the owner was asking questions and Daniel was answering and when Daniel left the store, the owner was so excited about Krai Bilong Ol Meri that he promised he would sponsor the program on the local station, NBC (picture insert) here in Mt. Hagen. God is good and we appreciate His hand on His ministry.

We thank the Lord for His blessings these past 6 years but time is catching up with us and there is a need to upgrade our equipment. Our recording computer and software are in need of upgrading. All of our programs are digitally recorded and burned to Cd's then mailed out or delivered to the radio stations we air with. Pastor Daniel has been called to Radio Ministry. He has a vision of going out to churches and conferences with portable recording equipment to record music, sermons, testimonies, and guest speakers and using it in our radio programs to continue to reach out to the lost of Papua New Guinea. Please pray for the ministry because this ministry, belongs to Him! Should the Lord challenge you to partner with us financially in this endeavor, below is a list of equipment needs. We, of course, appreciate and count on your prayer support for this ministry!

Here is the list of the equipment Radio Ministry is looking to purchase.
Laptop computer: The mobility of a laptop will enable us to record events, conferences, services, music, speakers, sermons, and testimonies on location rather than having to rely solely on studio recording. The recordings will then be edited in the studio and aired as radio programs.

8 channel mixer: This will work with the laptop computer in the field to allow us to better mix the sound at the source.
Recording computer: Our current computer used for recording and editing has been experiencing problems over the last several months. Currently it is up and running. We propose a new more substantial computer with a larger RAM and hard drive with Windows XP operating system in order to handle the load that is put on it.
Adobe Audition, audio recording and editing software upgrade: Our current software is 5-6 years old. We would like to upgrade the software in order to take advantage of the technological advances that have been made in the last 5 years.

Digital Camera: This camera will allow us to take pictures that will accompany stories from the field, so that we can better tell the story of what God is doing on the Melanesia Field.
