Trans World Radio describes how opening new Internet radio streams lets it continue its ministry in Russia despite losing radio airtime on two large national networks late last year. This shows how Internet-based forms of traditional broadcast are proving to have a growing reach and greater capacity - in this case, opening a new channel available to a quarter of Russia's population.

"Something must have happened. Your programs are not coming to us anymore. I need them! Please let me know where I can find you." "What happened to your broadcasts? They were like healing, clean, living water!" These and other Russian listeners responded to TWR’s loss of airtime on two large national networks late last year. Because of that situation, TWR lost a critical means of spreading the gospel across all 11 times zones of the country.
Despite these setbacks, TWR-Russia’s ministry continues. In January, Internet radio streaming began and has already yielded positive results. Statistics show that the role of the Internet in Russia is growing; within the last six months, the State statistics show 28.7 million Internet users, about 25 percent of the total population.
Please continue to uphold TWR-Russia in prayer as the team seeks to bring the good news of salvation to its country. For more, see www.twr.org
