About 70% of radio transmitters fail because of bad power, which constitutes the majority of the transmitter repairs SonSet Solutions faces. The damaged transmitters can result in a station being off the air for weeks or months, crippling their outreach.
One such station is Radio Lumiere in Haiti.
For over 40 years, they have frequently been taken off the air because of this kind of equipment failure. This is a challenge facing numerous ministries throughout the developing world.
Leon Amstutz (pictured above) spent years in Haiti developing a solution to this problem and, since joining SonSet Solutions in 2017, has worked with other engineers on the Power Solutions Team to refine the technology and make it work for the various types of power issues faced by different ministries. The result is what is now called the Power Protection Unit (PPU).

More VBS Praise
We've had several churches in 2022 collect funds for SonSet Solutions through their Vacation Bible School programs. Funds raised go directly to distribute SonSet® radios and Solar Media Centers around the world. Praise God!
Next week, two staff members, Mike Tapia and Bryan Jackson, will travel to Tanzania to install four Solar Media Centers, funded from a VBS at a nearby church. We thank the Lord not only for His provision, but also that young people in churches can participate in world missions in a very direct way!
Ministry: God sees all!
Ministry service is an amazing privilege. Every believer is called to a variety of roles in church, home, work, volunteer service, and of course in world missions. Ministry at times can have seasons of stress and drain - but it's also deeply satisfying, faith-building, and sanctifying.
No work is insignificant! The Lord can use the faithful person where they are right now. Formal education is not always required. Scripture simply indicates we need to have humility and a servant's heart. It doesn't need to be visible - the omnipresent, omniscient God sees all. And the reward is eternal!
Praises
The Smethers family has now raised full support and will very shortly be joining our staff in a very much needed role. Praise God!
Requests
Please continue to pray for John's mother Susan as she continues on a long road to recovery. God has been gracious!
