Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel...City of Tegucigalpa, Honduras taken!om an airplane

On October of 1998, our10,000 watt radio station in this citywenton the air, reaching more than two million people with theGospel. Fifteen years have now passed and only God knows thethousands of lives that have been changed since this time. Manytimes, it is hard to fathom that this isonly one of our 9 stationslocatedhere in Honduras. Withournetworktodaymuchstrongerand larger, we are now able to reach 10 million people here inCentralAmerica.

TheGreatCommissionistogoyeintoalltheworldandpreachtheGospel. Ourworkhasalwaysbeenbasedonthis. OnApril14,

2005, ourstation in the city of La Ceiba, which ison the northerncoast and the tourist center of Honduras, went on the air.Immediately, phone calls were received from the many African-Honduranpeople telling uswhat a blessing this stationwas. Eightyears have passed and thousands have been saved through thisstation built since that time. Today, we received a call from theHonduras government authorizing a 5000 watt permit for thisstationwhichisalreadyreachingintothecountryofBelize.$25,000isneededfora newtransmitter,whichwillexpandourcoveragetotensofthousandsofmorepeoplewhowillheartheGospelofChrist.
