Benin (TWR/MNN) ― Trans World Radio's engineering team is making progress in readying the new transmitting facility in Benin, West Africa.
The transmitter and an air conditioning unit are on-site. Two additional containers with power generators and essential antenna parts are in transit and due to arrive in Africa in the coming weeks.
According to TWR, the team signed the license agreement last year, and TWR-Africa has persevered through several subsequent challenges regarding the transmitter project, including delays in ordering and receiving equipment and seeking out program producers.
Construction of the highpower medium wave (AM) station in Benin is making steady progress. Missionaries, including the Cox and Kennedy families, have been working hard to get the station operational. Paul Cox, a broadcast engineer, is overseeing the installation of the transmitter and other technical aspects.
Programming is scheduled to begin airing in December. Pray that the project goes smoothly so that the team can proclaim the gospel to the region soon.
