Theft takes Muthyana off air
Friday 7th November, 2008
Our partner FM station Radio Muthyana in Maputo, Mozambique was taken off air last night, following an armed robbery in which a lot of transmission and studio equipment was stolen. We thank God nobody was killed.
Three hours of Feba programming are usually broadcast daily on Radio Muthyana. Muthyana was equipping a second studio, and this has suffered from the robbery as well as the offices. This occurred the day before they planned to announce a first meeting of Christian businessmen and professionals to form their forum in Mozambique.
Feba Mozambique National Director Custodio says: “We are quite aware of the devil action. We put our faith in God as this is a signal that we are getting impact in the city! We know for sure many sympathetic listeners and families are trying to tune the FM station just now but their desire cannot be satisfied.”
This theft occurred just days before the Mozambique Summit, 11-14 November in Maputo, where leaders from Feba UK and Feba Mozambique plan to establish a 2-3 year strategy and determine God's priorities for radio ministry projects in Mozambique.
Prayer Points
- Pray for the staff as they overcome the shock of this robbery and the loss of their property.
- Pray for Feba’s Bob Bartz who is trying to help Radio Muthyana get back on air by Monday. This will probably involve the Chrysolite suitcase studio already in the country.
- Pray for the leaders attending the Mozambique Summit that their goals can be successfully accomplished.
- Pray that they can concentrate on these strategic plans in the midst of helping Radio Muthyana replace equipment.
