TWR-Asia has been working with the oldest radio station in South Asia for
the past 33 years and currently broadcasts a total of 77 programmes in
24 languages via the station.
Under the new contract, which was signed after months of negotiations and
discussions between both sides and which will take effect on 1 Feb 2010,
the cooperation will continue for the next three years with an option to
extend it for another two years.
TWR-Asia International Director Sebastian Chan said: "TWR has had a good
partnership with SLBC for the last 33 years. The signing of the new
contract is a testament to those years of cooperation, collaboration and
trust. It is a privilege to be working with SLBC. We look forward to more
years of working together, and are excited to see what possibilities the
future brings for both TWR and SLBC."
David Butler, the Director of Ministry Operations, added: "Through the
entire process, we saw God's hand at work in many ways _ both big and
small. We rejoice in these things, that they all came together. We
continue to believe that God is moving in our ministry to South Asia, and
we have another three years to reach the people of South Asia.
"Radio is still the best way to reach the masses, but we look forward to
augmenting the radio broadcasts by connecting with the listeners through
the internet, mobile phones, and other means of communication. Christ is
transforming lives in South Asia through His word, and causing these lives
to bear fruit. We rejoice that God has blessed us and allowed us to be
part of this."
Founded in 1952 TWR helps lead millions of people speaking more than 200
languages and dialects in 160 countries around the world from doubt to
decision to discipleship concerning Jesus Christ using radio, the internet
and through face-to-face visits.
TWR-Asia broadcasts programmes across the region in more than 80 Asian
languages and dialects. In addition, the ministry has undertaken many
humanitarian projects including tsunami relief efforts, adopting HIV/AIDS
villages in China, distributing radios in several Asian nations,
ministering to women's health needs and ministering to orphans in
Cambodia.

SURINAM 4990 R. Apintie hrd Feb 8 at 0758 UT tune w/ best signals ever
hrd here _ pgm was difficult to copy due to QRM from 4985 kHz but at 0814
UT I could easily hear a man in Dutch w/ what sounded like devotional
talk. Another male ancr in Dutch at 0830 UT then into light vocals at
0835. SINPO 3+2533 w/ hvy QRM from Brazil on 4985 kHz necessitating
+1.25 kHz bandpass shift and notching for readability. After 0845 UT QRM
gradually diminished making bandpass adjustments unnecessary.
