(Niger)– Evangelical Baptist Mission’s Tim Wright says they’re looking for studio help to grow the radio ministry. However, finding someone with experience in audio production, or radio for a short stint in Niger has proven difficult. But, they’re still looking because: “We only have one mission couple that’s assigned to the radio ministry in Niger, that’s my wife and I. (And) really, there’s a lot more opportunities as far as producing audio/visual materials than I can facilitate myself. So, we’re looking for folks that are interested in short-term or an internship.” Wright explains what will happen if they don’t get the help they need. “Especially like with a project like recording the Zarma Bible onto audiotape, it’s a time intensive project and it’s just going to slow it down by years and years. It’s aimed towards a group of people that only have a 15-percent literacy rate, so even though they have the Bible translated into their own language, they wouldn’t be able to read it.”
