Villagers Receive Security Warnings
(April 2013 issue)

Rich welcoming Commander, Vladimir | | | | | |
One of the responsibilities of operating the only shortwave signal in D.R. Congo is to inform the population regarding security in the region and particularly villages in remote areas that are in imminent threat of attack by rebels. Or, the planned movement of UN forces through their area to pursue, capture and repatriate groups remaining in Congo these many years after the 1994 genocide.
Through messages of reconciliation broadcast by Radio Kahuzi for the past eight months there have been successes.

Richard attends a meeting at MONUSCO DDRRR in Bukavu with the new commander, Vladimir, in a Press Conference / Cafe de Presse about broadcasting to the FDLR / Hutu rebels in the DRC to encourage them to lay down their arms and go home to Rwanda.
NEW SHIPMENT OF GALCOM RADIOS HELP TO REACH DEEP INTO THE JUNGLE

The redesigned Galcom shortwave radio receivers are EXCELLENT! They have a new loop antenna that doubles the reception of our shortwave signal. These will help us reach the Hutu and other belligerents where they are in the jungle, or on the mountains with the Joyous Easter message of Reconciliation! Yes, He is Risen as He said!
One of the last of the Mai Mai rebel commandos is finally integrated his men into the National Army last week-end. This is a real work-in-progress which is finally bearing results.

Our journalist, Pastor Gregoir, has met with him several times and been in cell phone contact for counseling over the years to help him make the right choices and finally join the normal society.
This contact began years ago, when the Mai Mai leader refused to meet a high level US military delegation to talk about Peace unless they came with our journalist alone. He could not trust anyone except Radio Kahuzi, as he had been listening with his small Galcom receiver--probably stolen in a pillaging campaign in that remote territory.
"And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth....Jesus answered, ....I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
Thank you for laboring with us in the Love of Jesus. You are helping to set men free.
Please pray with us for wisdom as we continue to look for a new home for Radio Kahuzi. The current situation will be out of reach in 2014. Our God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we can ask or think. We will trust Him!
If you are on the Internet type "
Sounds of Radio Kahuzi" in your search engine and it will take you to a morning of broadcasting (in Lingala) on Radio Kahuzi. It is a UTube presentation along with photos of daily life in Bukavu.
Thank you for helping to keep Radio Kahuzi broadcasting in twelve languages! Your gifts, large or small, are so very much appreciated! We are a non-commercial, non-profit, and do not ask our listeners for support as they are some of the poorest people in the world. We, also, do not charge our programmers. We operate by the Grace of God and His provision through folks like you with a heart for ALL the precious people of D. R. Congo. Thank You!
Keep Looking Up!
