Radio is still the most effective way for most Afghans to receive information. Shepherds on the hillsides will carry short-wave radios with them and listen as they watch over their sheep. People in the villages will gather around a radio and listen in a group. For close to 20 years now, Sadaye Zindagi (Sounds of Life) has been producing Christian broadcasts in the Dari language. The programs are broadcast for 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening. Afghans are able to listen to Scripture being read to them, teaching from the Bible, groups of Afghans gathered to model a house church, music, and answers to direct questions that callers have asked. There are reports from all across the country of people listening to these broadcasts.  In a four month period, 220 cell phones and 436 SD memory cards for those phones were given out, mostly to people living in rural areas of Ethiopia. Many Amhara people cannot read, so this form of getting them God’s Word can be very effective. Each memory card contains chronological Bible stories, the “JESUS” and the “Magdalena” films to watch, the “Creation to Christ” Gospel story with pictures, the audio New Testament, 150 songs that are Scripture based and are in the Orthodox style, and more. With these cards, people are able to “blue tooth” (send) the message of Christ to other phones—other people.   * Please pray that this memory card content will be sent out to multitudes of Amhara. * Pray that Tajiks of Afghanistan will be able to access these radio programs and that they will be drawn to the truth of the Gospel presented. * Proclaim the greatness of our God to one of your neighbors by telling them about your favorite Christian radio station or by recommending a Christian movie.
