Things are moving fast here at the end of the road, Yaviza. New partners and renewed vision has breathed life into this church-owned property, and it feels somewhat like being part of a winning sports team marching towards the championship. One of the big “games” that we are determined to win is the aforementioned radio station to be operated here on-site by the Emberá and Wounaan. The initial study has been conducted by Avant ministries and the light is green, the equipment has been donated and awaits us in Canada, groups have committed to helping with the construction of the necessary infrastructure to house the equipment and people operating the station, we’ve even been given the verbal go-ahead from the director of Panama’s equivalent to the Federal Communications Commission and promised the license. The only remaining step is to comply with the requirement to conduct a formal technical study by a Panamanian engineer and complete the relevant documentation. While this task normally costs upwards of $5,000 plus legal fees, a compassionate professional has offered to do the job for $2,000, the remaining legal paperwork costing about $1,000. So… Without further adieu… We are asking if you might be called to financially support in part or full this last, big step towards accomplishing the long-standing goal of operating a radio station by and for the people in the rural communities surrounding Yaviza. Are you called to be part of this? We invite you to pray about it. Donations can be made directly to the project through Mb Mission here: Yaviza Camp Please be sure to let us know so it can be earmarked for the radio.
Blessings
