Christian AM Station in Brazil Plants 5 Churches in 4 Years
"Response has been tremendous with five new churches already formed as a result of the Christian programming."
(Nova Russas, Brazil)—Five churches have been planted in northeastern Brazil as a result of Avant Ministry's broadcasts on AM-780, a 10,000 watt station in the city of Nova Russas.
In 2003, Avant Ministries, a missionary sending agency headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, that recruits, equips, sends, supports and serves missionaries to more than twenty countries, facilitated the purchase of the 10,000-watt station, the first Christian station in the region.
Its signal is within hearing range of 1.2 million people living in small towns and isolated villages within a 150-mile radius.
A story from the HCJB News Service said, "Response has been tremendous with five new churches already formed as a result of the Christian programming. The goal is for the station to become a commercially sponsored station, independent of outside financial support."
"Meanwhile, Avant is subsidizing the station until it can attract enough local advertisers to become self-supporting."
