An Exciting Problem Reveals God’s Plans in Tanzania

December 1, 2024

Sunset in Tanzania “I’ve got an exciting problem,” said the Tanzanian man to the three men at his table during the August AbR Media conference. “We’ve been given a license by the government to set up eight repeater radio stations along a section of our country where Muslim populations are concentrated, but we have to have five of them on-air in less than 10 months.” He continued, “I am so burdened by this project. I don’t see how it can happen. We have no way to manage this under our own strength. Only God can make this a reality.”

AbR Media is an association of ministries that are working together to reach the whole continent with the Gospel. Reach Beyond’s director for the region, Alex, explains, “It’s a cooperative, supportive partnership that eschews competition. By coordinating efforts, we are able to avoid setting up multiple radio stations in the same area or unknowingly helping the same partner.”

Alex stresses, “Africa’s such a big mission field – if we’re just working for our own organizations…I don’t think God can bless it as much as when we’re working together with a Kingdom mindset.”

One of Alex’s team goals has been to help local believers launch two new radio stations before the end of the year. God had provided the funds, but every project was at a standstill.

Alex listened intently to the radio station manager and thought about this great opportunity. Their station is focused on unreached people, and they have an excellent reputation for follow-up and discipleship.

The four men discussed the problem, did the math, and determined that two of the initial five stations would need to be started this year, and the other three staggered between January and June 2025.

It was then that Alex suddenly realized, “The answer was just there on a plate for us. God had already worked it all out. We didn’t know why God had put our other plans on hold.” He continued, “God was working this all out so we would be ready and able to help this trusted partner to share the Gospel with many more unreached people throughout Tanzania.”
