For the first time in over three years, Janice was able to visit a longtime radio partner in Southeast Asia. The partner's network consists of over 50 stations, and she was returning to a place she knew well. With travel restrictions lifted, she prepared to teach a weeklong class to 14 students from across the network, the first in-person class since before COVID-19.

During the five-day class, Janice and her local partners taught students the ins and outs of effective radio ministry and self-sustainability. In addition to studying best practices for content creation and audience engagement, students also learned practical business skills, such as mounting effective marketing initiatives, producing commercials, and creating public service announcements. Students especially appreciated the ethics training, a vital component in presenting audiences with a biblical worldview.

Each of the network’s stations focuses on reaching local communities, and many are owned by local churches or businessmen. While many of the stations have “Christian” audiences, most listeners have no active faith in Christ. Thanks to interactive class activities, workshops, and a fun, relaxed environment, Janice and her team provided students with the tools they need to reach their communities more effectively with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
