An exciting development has happened in the partnership between the different African nations involved in Christians Broadcasting Hope. In December 2008, CBH-Swahili producer, Pastor Obed Okech, got on a plane for the first time in his life to fly from Kenya to Côte d’Ivoire. He came to spend a week working with our sound technician, Issa Kouenaon, and CBH-French speaker Daniel N’Goran, helping us fine tune the French programs by acting as a consultant in sound production and editing. Despite language and cultural differences, a relationship has developed into a promising partnership that brings together significant young leaders of the church from opposite ends of Africa. They’re committed to the same task of reaching their continent with the hope of Christ, and they’re also convinced that an effective way to do that is through the powerful and pervasive medium of radio. Thank you for helping send Obed to Côte d’Ivoire. You’ve empowered both CBH-Swahili and CBH-French to work together in spreading the gospel to all of Africa.
