Kaonga: Celebrating 25 years religious broadcasting in Malawi

Operating under the theme "Thus far, has the Lord helped us" from 1 Samuel 12:7, the Silver Jubilee celebrations are an opportunity to celebrate God's goodness to and through TWR Malawi in the last 25 years, launch a new listeners' radio project and see a strengthened resource base, according to Kaonga.

Other special activities include having women take full charge of the airwaves beginning Monday 12 September to 18 September.

"This is to let women who have never been on air to celebrate in a special way by handling basic production and presenting radio programmes. A similar opportunity was made for the children in August during their school holiday," explained Kaonga.

The Christian evangelistic broadcaster is also working on installing a new transmitter in Mchinji and hosts an appreciation dinner on Friday 21 October. The funds raised will go towards the expansion of TWR FM signal to Karonga and Chitipa.

TWR officially started in 1986 and, according to Kaonga, seen thousands of lives transformed in Malawi and beyond through its programs that use English, Chichewa, Chitumbuka and Chiyao.

"Hundreds of testimonies through letters, emails, SMS and personal meetings abound each month," Kaonga said.

Many Malawians in one way or the other have been impacted by TWR through its shortwave broadcasts in the early years when work was pioneered by among others former MBC broadcaster Pearson Chunga.
