The Approach
Studio 865 currently produces about 3.5 hours of Bulgarian language programs a week. These radio programs are focused on promoting Christian growth in the life of the believer and increasing the interest of those who may be curious in having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The broadcasts include such programs as Thru the Bible, In Touch, and Words of Hope. In order to relate more intimately with Bulgarian listeners, the local producers adapt their materials where culturally appropriate.
The Fruit
Below are a few examples of feedback received as a result of Studio 865’s radio programming in the Bulgarian language:
“Hello,
Thanks for your ministry! For many people those programs are real spiritual food.
For me personally this radio brings me new life because of my physical condition. I will pray that many people find your station and find real way for salvation. May God give you wisdom and knowledge to continue forward!”
Mrs. Katerina Dungova from town Sandanski, southwest Bulgaria
“Dear friends,
With joy and blessing I’m listening to your programs. May God give you love and boldness to continue successfully! All programs are encouraging for me. I’m so happy with you and thank God that you exist. You have blessed my heart. May God give you more and more strength to reach more people!”
Mr. Anton Krushichkov from Sofia
“Hello dear Radio,
We are a small group of believers. Thank you for all the radio programs. Thank God for this blessed radio station. We want thank for every one who work for those programs. Thank you!”
