| After
3 weeks of work (10-14 hour days/7 days a week to finish the task),
Missionary Dave Casement
installed a radio station in Tanzania in January. As a result of the
preaching broadcast on that station since then, when the pastor said he
wanted to plant a church, 1,000 people showed up the first Sunday. When an
invitation to receive Christ was given, 500 made a first time decision that
day. Praise God! This station has a potential audience of 2-3 million people. |
