What started out as a modest Christian radio station in
Aarhus has spread to reach all of Denmark in a format that includes Bible
reading, teaching, contemporary Christian music, and lively young radio hosts.
Beyond the local Aarhus area, Kristen Netradio (www.kristennetradio.dk) now broadcasts
its programs over the Internet, which means they’re potentially reaching anyone
in Denmark with a web connection or a smartphone. KNR is a self-supporting
group within the Inner Mission Lutheran renewal movement, staffed by an
energetic crew of young believers, all focused on reaching out with the good
news of Jesus to a generation that still has not found its way to faith. Or to
a church.
And everyone on the volunteer staff is thrilled at the
opportunity.
“In radio, we have a unique platform to reach people with
the gospel,” said Morten Vibert, one of the volunteer radio hosts, “We can
reach into people’s living rooms and show them the way God wants them to go.”
It all starts on “Munter Mandag,” (Monday Cheer) a morning
show that blends contemporary Christian music with plenty of friendly talk,
jokes, and a good dose of Bible reading -- a non-threatening introduction to
God’s Word. The morning hosts throw in their unique blend of laughs, trivia,
friendly banter, and a contest or two.
“It’s a different way to present the Christian message,”
said Monday host Steffen Iversen. “We’re having a good time as we do the
program.”
So yes, they’re all having a lot of fun, in an atmosphere
that appeals to their young audience. At the same time, they’re dedicated to
seeing lives changed through the unique power of music and the good news of
Jesus Christ.
PRAY for this
excited crew of young people, that their message of hope would reach into every
corner and remote island of their country. Pray for Lars, Søren, Betina, Steffen,
Nanna, Morten, and Andreas.
PRAY for funding,
that KNR would continue to be able to grow and expand their programming.
PRAY for
volunteers; the station always needs technical and programming help, as well as
on-air talent. Pray for unity among the staff.
PRAY for wisdom
and clear direction, that KNR would continue to follow Christ’s leading to
reach the unreached across Denmark.
PRAY for revival
to spread as a result of KNR broadcasts, and that many would hear, understand,
and accept the message. Pray that even those who aren’t looking for God would
come across KNR and hear the good news.
