Marshall Isl Funeral delays opening


Sadly, the death of a prominent local leader has meant “The Change 104.1FM” didn’t come to air in the Marshall Islands as planned. 
read previous story ] 

While different in each Island culture, there is always a very public show of mourning when a family member dies. If a national church or cultural leader dies, the mourning becomes a national event. In aural cultures, history is marked by the passing of national figures so their death is a time public sorrow and respect. Stories are told. In some countries, songs and dances are developed to pass the stories down the generations. In other countries, people are expected to wear only black clothing and old mats to show humility and respect. And there are special church services and memorial events. 
Public mourning for an important person can sometimes last for months. 

So Steve Clarke (Field Coordinator for Missionary Ventures) and the staff in Majuro wisely decided a public opening and celebration for the new station would be inappropriate.

I’ll let you know when the station starts broadcasting. 

 Please remember to pray 
for Steve and his team of enthusiastic radio hosts. Pray "The Change 104.1FM" will soon be on the air, 
preaching the Good News about Jesus Christ to the people of Majuro, Marshall Islands

When I think of the Islands 
I think of so many small and isolated places

I think of people who still need to hear 
the simple and powerful Gospel of Jesus Christ

And I think of the many people God has brought in to help 
people like you - our Partners in this important work

Thank you for your Partnership 
May God bless you
