Broadcasting as THE NEW LIFE RADIO Satellite Network—Odessa, Ukraine
MISSION: Proclaiming Christ and Him crucified to the former Soviet Union and beyond.
SINCE 1996, New Life Radio has provided Christian radio inside of Russia on FM, Satellite, and Internet radio
TODAY, we reach Slavic audiences internationally and serve Christ’s Church as a media resource for evangelism and discipleship.

As we enter a new year, NLR’s missionary team in ODESSA is holding firm even as Russian military forces have dramatically increased their missile attacks on the city and region. Note: NLR is equally serving two populations with a Christian program format that makes no mention of nationalism, emphasizing our citizenship in the Kingdom of Heaven, while providing a defense of Biblical truth and teaching them to live in the Light of Eternity. Pray for the end of hostilities and for the Lord’s guidance as we minister to audiences across these warring nations.

SPECIAL announcement for 2025
A Building Fund campaign for 2025 to raise $150,000 has begun in order to allow NLR to purchase an office space for their studios in Odessa. Their current space in a former Christian university building is now without gas heat and their landlord has lost funding and cannot properly maintain this 194 year old building anymore. Further, unresolved zoning issues for this building will not allow NLR to obtain independent utility services into their studios. After 30 years of renting rooms for this ministry, we feel now is the time to make the investment to help NLR with their own property that can give them independence and keep their monthly operating costs low. See the Special update pdf on this at the bottom of the webpage. PLEASE contact CRFRU if you can help!
NLR continues Russian language broadcasting via the HOTBIRD satellite that is beyond the ability of the Russian government to interfere with. This channel guarantees our signal coverage across the most populated areas in Russia , at a time when the Kremlin is working to isolate the Russian Internet from the western world. See satellite map below with NLR’s signal area. 97% of communities in Russia and Ukraine have no local Christian radio station, so satellite helps fill this void.
New Life Radio broadcasts in UKRAINIAN –called радіо нове життя–RNZ). Listen to the channel at http://novezhitya.net
NLR takes up Christ’s command to proclaim the Gospel to the ends of the earth, which is literally what our satellite and Internet transmissions do! Thanks for blessing others with the gift of Christian radio!
