“In a world of a billion Christians, there should never be a moment on the planet when hurting people feel orphaned by God.” – Johnnie Moore
100,000th SonSet® Radio Delivered
On March 20th, we were able to celebrate this milestone! We heard stories and testimonies of the radios in person and via Zoom and were able to celebrate God’s goodness with our staff, some volunteers and some board members present.
It was 1994 when senior design engineer, Mike Axman, returned from Burkina Faso where SonSet Solutions has helped establish multiple Christian FM stations. He approached our director with the critical need for durable, fixed-tuned, solar-powered radio receivers to provide clear reception for their listeners. Without reliable receivers, these radio stations would be ineffective in reaching their communities.
In 2001, SonSet Solutions presented a project for just such a radio receiver to senior design students at several universities. Key designs were chosen, and our engineers got to work putting it all together. Our first SonSet radios were shipped in 2005.
Currently, SonSet radios have been distributed in 72 countries on six continents. These hand-held receivers are a lifeline where electricity is scarce, and batteries are expensive or hard to find. They are distributed in the vicinities of our partner Christian radio stations and fixed-tuned to pick up only those frequencies.
The full story is told here: Celebrating Our 100,000th Radio - SonSet Solutions.
Mobilization at Wheaton College Missions in Focus
While we primarily work in other areas of SonSet Solutions, we have been able to travel on occasion as part of SonSet Solutions' mobilization efforts. We enjoy meeting college students and enjoy all sorts of conversations with them.
It is largely through efforts like these that we gain some of our interns. This summer we have six interns. Please pray for them as they continue to raise their support team as they study as full-time students and as they serve this summer.
Praises
• Praise! Jean's breast cancer follow up during February-March has gone well, and she's good to go for another six months.
• We're thankful for good interactions as we represented SonSet Solutions at Wheaton College's Missions in Focus week in February.
Prayer Requests
• An appointee is getting close to 100% support, and we're excited for him to begin service, as he'll fill some key roles. Pray for that last bit to come in.
• Pray for the Lord to supply continued strength as we travel, host, and carry multiple roles here and at church.
