Haiti: Sound and Light<\/h2>\n

By <\/strong>Dr. Ron Harris, Sr. Vice President of Strategic Partnerships
<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Each year at the NRB Convention Worship Service,
\nattendees have taken the opportunity to support Christian broadcasting
\nin some of the most challenging places for the Gospel. Past years have
\nfocused on China, Albania, Yemen, Papua New Guinea, and the Balkans.
\nGenerous NRB members have given a total of over $70,000 to strengthen
\nGod’s work through Christian broadcasting.<\/p>\n

This year’s project is
\n“Haiti: Sound and Light.” With the devastating earthquake a little over
\na year ago, much-needed humanitarian aid has poured into the country,
\nincluding work by many NRB member organizations. The need for this aid
\ncontinues, to be sure. Even if there had been no earthquake, Haiti is a
\ncountry in need.<\/p>\n

The need for the Gospel is just as great, if not
\ngreater, than the humanitarian need in Haiti. With a history of voodoo
\nand and other occult practices, sound doctrine is essential to counter
\nthe work of Satan. Galcom, Inc., a long-time NRB member, is involved
\nwith two projects in the small country of Haiti. One is in
\nearthquake-torn Port-au-Prince; the other is in Cape Haitian, in the
\nNorthern part of the island.<\/p>\n

Radio Lumiere has struggled to stay
\non the air since the damage of the earthquake. Electrical power is
\nunreliable at times, forcing the station to run a diesel-fueled
\ngenerator. Galcom can place large solar panels at the station to provide
\nelectricity for broadcasting during those times of power outage,
\ntransforming the light of day into the Light of the Gospel.<\/p>\n

Radio
\n4VEH is on a five-year mission to distribute 160,000 solar powered
\nradios to pick up the signal of their broadcast ministry that reaches
\nmuch of the country. A portion of the NRB Convention worship offering
\nwill go to help purchase these radios at cost for distribution to the
\nHaitians in that part of the country, taking sound teaching into the
\nhearts of the people who need to hear.<\/p>\n

Sound…and Light. You can help provide both in Haiti.<\/p>\n
