Paradise Radio 89.5

The amount of doors that Papa God is opening for us here in the Federated States of Micronesia this New Year are mind-blowing! Last night my Micronesian brother-in-laws; Ryan, David, Tommy, along with my son and I embarked on a new adventure in the world of radio DJ. Ryan, originally from an outer island of Yap helped to spearhead Paradise Radio in Pohnpei many year ago. Paradise Radio is NOT a Christian radio station, but plays a mix of mostly reggae, hip-hop and rap from artists in the Pacific islands and from around the world and is one of the most popular radio stations in Pohnpei. Yet Jesus has been doing amazing things in Ryan's life lately, and now we have all partnered together to introduce relevant Christian music and talk shows on Paradise Radio.

Last night we imported modern Christian rap, reggae, rock and worship music into the radio DJ computer program and aired these songs for many hours. Ryan started out by introducing us on air using our studio names. We had so much fun clowning around in between sets of songs. One time David put on a Puerto Rican accent and I did a British accent, while we all exchanged in friendly banter with one another. Other times, Ryan and I hosted a time of prayer for the lost, broken, sick and hurting people of Pohnpei and shared stories of redemption through Jesus Christ in relevant ways. We were all in tears at times as we poured our hearts out about our own lives and how the love of God through Jesus is changing us all as we follow him. We will be weekly hosting programs like this on Paradise Radio and are so excited to see Jesus change the lives of our listeners as many Micronesians listen in to Paradise Radio 89.5.
