ELWA Radio Update

ELWA Radio was burnt down on the 8th November 2011, but the day after we were able to restart the radio in a small satellite studio in another building. The "studio" is basically just a room at the moment but we have the CDs that were rescued from the fire already stored on shelves and Rose, in the picture, has been helping to clean the soot off them. We now have air conditioning in the studio which fills the hole you can see at  the top right of the photo below.


The "satellite" studio at ELWA Radio is up and running
but still needs some work done.
Below are some of the charred CDs that were rescued from the fire. Still usable but need cleaning.


 We were fortunate in being able to rescue the sound board from the studio but as you can see (below) it is a bit the worse for ware and the sliders don't work very well. We have also been able to replace some of the computers that were destroyed. But as you can see there is a lot still to do.... but praise God we are on the air and still broadcasting the gospel!

Below is a video that gives you a bit of history about ELWA Radio and its importance to Liberians... There are also some photos of the recent fire. Please pray for the complete restoration and renewal of the radio station and that we can continue to remain on air while doing so.

  1. Many thanks, Will for posting the above photos. This answers some of our questions here at EMA USA. We continue to pray that God will bring in all the funds needed to build a new studio building that is fully equipped. May God keep you and Jenny encouraged in spite of these set-
    backs. Keep praising Him. Psa. 150.
