A new Partnership/Uma nova Parceria
As we mentioned on a previous post, back in August of last year, we were presented with the possibility of the Character First programs being aired on the island of São Tomé and Príncipe.

The Word on demand/A Palavra sob demanda
The station that airs our programs in the city of Huambo in Angola, recently informed us that the Yeva Ondaka program, which was being aired once a week, is now being aired daily.

Crisis, Foresight and Provision/Crise, Previsão e Providência
It’s hard to believe the unprecedented crisis that our world is facing right now.

As we mentioned on a previous post, the radio station in Brazil that aired our programs had to close due to financial and governmental restrictions.

Although the process of trying to obtain the license to reopen the station continues with… Read more →
An Unexpected Opportunity/Uma Oportunidade Inesperada
I had an interesting conversation this week that could lead to new opportunities for the ministry. There is a friend of mine who is a pastor in Angola, who uses his cell phone to record some of my programs when they air, and then sends them to 100 people in various countries. One of these people is the president of… Read more →

Changes in Brazil and Feedback from Angola/Mudanças no Brasil e Feedback de Angola
