For years, Danes have been used to limited television
choices, mainly from state-run stations. But there’s also another choice -- a
Christian-run station with news on the Danish church, preaching, music, interviews,
children’s shows, worship services, and more.
While American TV viewers might take Christian programming
for granted, it’s quite another story in a small country like Denmark, where
state-run media has always been the norm.
“KKR TV was the first Danish TV station that broke DR’s
(state TV) monopoly,” says the station’s website.
Then, of course, everything went digital. And unfortunately
the station remained off the air for several years -- until technology caught
up. Today Copenhagen residents can easily view KKR-TV, while others throughout
the country can install a digital receiver box for home viewing. Live
programming is also available online.
“I’ve been longing for it for many years,” said an older
viewer from Kalslund. For people like her, for shut-ins, and for many others,
KKR is a new lifeline to teaching and testimony about living a life of faith.
PRAY for the
staff of KKR/TV, that they would remain faithful to Christ and to their calling
of presenting the gospel in a culturally relevant way.
PRAY that
children would be drawn to the programing and come to know Jesus as a result.
PRAY that the
ministry of KKR TV would reach many homes where Christ not known.
PRAY that God
would use this television to help bring revival to Denmark!
