Czech Republic (MNN) ― Christian Czech and Slovak Gospel broadcasts originating from HCJB Global are moving with the natural progression to the Internet.
In 1975, Czech broadcasts were launched on shortwave from Radio Station HCJB in Quito, Ecuador. Slovak was added seven years later. The team continued to minister in the country through the Velvet Revolution, and split into the independent Republics.
Czech speakers Pavel and Klara Steiger later moved their broadcasting efforts to the Czech Republic to develop local FM broadcasting through a partnership between HCJB Global and Trans World Radio.
When change visited again in 2002, the shortwave broadcasts were finished and the suggestion of Internet and satellite broadcasting came into play.
Today, the Internet connects the Steigers with Czech-speaking people around the world. According to HCJB Global, the website (www.hcjb.cz) receives about 250 visitors per day.
It also providing access to recent and archived programs as well as the ministry's bilingual magazine digest, The Battle for the Soul. Pray for the team's wisdom as they respond to listener questions.
