BREATH OF LIFE...pumzi ya maisha...


BY PAMELA OMWODO,

SIFA FM MANAGER


There have been radio stations in Taita; both local and national, but there has never been a station specifically targeting residents socially, economically, and spiritually in a more direct way than SIFA FM.

Cutting across tribal lines, cultures, economic status and religion SIFA FM is designed to air relevant quality programs that are wholesome to the people of Taita to bring all round development and drawing the listener closer to God hence it being a breath of life.

Pastors, evangelist, and people working in the vineyard of God are eagerly waiting to listen and utilize SIFA FM not only to propagate the gospel but also to partner in the ministry.

So far, God has done so much to the FM and has laid the foundation for it. This can be evidenced through the enthusiasm of the people of Taita who are constantly making follow-up calls and enquire when it will be on air. God has made the ground ready for sowing.

Pastors and other ministers on the other hand have been organizing meetings and calling for a informative talk from SIFA FM team to be updated on the stations programs and the how they can partner with the station in the spreading of the gospel of Christ. The response and anxiety is overwhelming thus verifying the hand of God in ministry through this radio.

The challenges are as great as the impact that SIFA FM is going to have to the lives of the people of Taita. When God’s ministry is expanding, satan also works tirelessly to see to it that His (God’s) mission fails, that is why the setting and starting up of the SIFA FM has not been a smooth sailing but full of huge tides.

From the technical to the production no department has been spared of a shaking of discouragement. So many are the challenges that try to weigh us down but we have not let them put us down because we have a God who is with us, strengthen and encourages us in mysterious ways.

We all have to fight through our challenges because they have to shape us and help us to even trust God more. I count myself favored to work in this ministry and this is why I know that the passion I have for God must reflect in the way I relay the life giving breath to the people of Taita through 107.7 SIFA FM.

The work is great but He who knows how to reward more than earthly parents has greater rewards for those who work diligently and dedication for Him. We have to fight our obstacles to be victorious for Christ.

In 107.7 SIFA FM, Taita people shall receive the TRUTH and the truth shall set them free.
