There are thousands in northeastern Ghana who now can hear the Gospel, reports MNN. HCJB Global and Theovision International successfully planted a radio station in Saboba last month. The broadcasts cover Saboba, a city of about 120,000, as well as the surrounding area, which means that roughly 800,000 people are within hearing range of the station. Radio Gaakii (gaakii means "faith" in the Konkomba language) is the third FM radio station launched by Theovision in the last year along with an online radio station based in Accra. The station expects to launch regular broadcasts 24 hours a day by February. Joseph Kebbie helped train the staff during the installation of the Saboba outlet. It broadcasts at 88.3 MHz on the FM dial, airing programs in four languages: Konkomba, Baasare, Twi and Hausa. So far, initial reaction to the broadcasts has been positive. Partnerships with groups like Theovision are a key strategy in reaching the continent for Christ. HCJB Global President Wayne Pederson added that "community FM radio is extremely popular in Africa. It's the main means of information and entertainment for Africans. We're privileged to plant yet another community radio station in Ghana that will provide information about health, family, current events and, more importantly, the good news of Jesus. Music, teaching and interviews will share the Gospel with those who tune in to their community station."
