NLR Station Director
Dima Vatoulya
fields listener responses
daily using cell phone text
messages from listeners across
the country. The anonymity of
this type of communication brings
out deep feelings from listeners...
"Please pray for me, for there is an
inner struggle in me, although I have
a different vision of life. It's a
hard time for me."
"Sorry for bothering you, but what is
the meaning of life? My soul has died."
NLR's broadcast service is often the only
Christian radio option in Russian, Belarussian,
and Ukrainian cities where mass media is
controlled by government and secular
broadcasters.
Christian leaders see the importance of NLR
in communicating a Christian worldview to
a secular society where less than 4% of people
attend church, and just 1% of content provided
in the total output of national and local media
is religious in nature. NLR proclaims Christ 24/7.

Tanya: "Thanks to the Lord for your big work, friends!"
Jules: "Hi, beloved radio! May God bless you for your minstry!"
Dmitri from Volgodonsk: "You know, I went to a little cafe yesterday for a cup of hot tea. As I was leaving, I saw a homeless person sitting behind one of the tables. He was holding a plastic cup filled with tea and was shivering from the cold. I started thinking what can I possibly do for him. And then I remembered one of the stories that Dasha told on New Life Radio: about one time when she was also in a similar situation--thinking how she could help a person like that, and while she was pondering it, some little girl came up to the person and helped him. So I decided to think less, and do more, and brought him a cup of tea and a good sandwich. Oh how thankful he was, and how wonderful I felt. I wished him God's blessings and we went on with our day! Thank you New Life Radio so much, and thank God. Hallelujah!"
Alex from Zelenokomsk, Russia, is called to share the Gospel to those near death. Alex installed an NLR satellite system in a hospital ward for terminal patients at a local prison, and also did the same at a women's prison colony where 1800 women can hear New Life Radio.
Yuri from Chukotka: "I listen to KICY/NLR everyday! This is a gift from God to me even when they talk and sing in a foreign language. I know that this is a living river and truthful, God given and it pours into the hearts of men." (report from KICY-Nome)
Pastor Vladimir from Volgodonsk: "It seemed that the dream of Christian radio was impossible. For many years, the name of our Lord was whispered...today in our lives a miracle happened. In our city, it became possible to transmit Christian programming from NEW LIFE RADIO. Not whispering, but so that everyone would hear it. Not in darkness, but in the light, and in the morning, in the evening, and late at night. The first Christian radio in our city! IT'S A WHOLE NEW WORLD!"

Christians can easily install
a satellite system to their
home to hear the GOSPEL and
Christian encouragement. NLR's
format is an excellent witnessing
tool for their friends and
neighbors who might never go
to a church.
