Use your passion and talents for engineering so unreached people and nations can hear the gospel through radio and other media means

David and Linda are preparing to leave for Eswatini. This small kingdom lies in the south of the African continent, wedged between South Africa and Mozambique. From here, Trans World Radio, with three strong shortwave transmitters and a medium wave transmitter, reaches deep into this beloved continent, reaching the people of Africa with the promises of hope and salvation found in Christ Jesus.

David, along with the TWR team, will be responsible for the maintenance of the transmitters, towers, buildings and support equipment at the transmitter location in Eswatini and possibly some other TWR locations in the continent of Africa. Linda will be in Eswatini to see how she can partially support David’s work at- and with TWR also from her role with gifts and talents. In addition, she will also look locally at what opportunities there are within and outside TWR.

David and Linda depend on partners who support their work, and are seeking prayer partners as well as people who are willing to support them financially. Are you enthusiastic about the work of TWR in which David may use his engineering talents and skills? Then sign up as a partner through the giving options on their support page.
