Bonaire Infrastructure Upgrades
TWR has been broadcasting from the island of Bonaire for almost 60 years. This small Caribbean island is situated about 50 miles off the northern coast of Venezuela, which makes it an ideal place to reach Cuba, Colombia, Venezuela, northern Brazil and the surrounding countries. Beginning in 1964, the TWR staff on Bonaire produced programs, developed ministry to Latin America, maintained an extensive antenna field of towers, and kept our transmitters running.
Today, listeners often tell us that from a young age, they grew up under the solid biblical teaching of TWR’s programs from Bonaire. When there was no other source of discipleship in the Word of God, children would be awakened by their parents in the early morning to listen to the radio, or Amazon jungle missionaries would call villagers together to listen as a group.
We have heard many life-changing stories of those raised on spiritual food from TWR Bonaire. Our signal is the strongest radio broadcast in the western hemisphere, and programs are going out in Spanish, English, Portuguese, and Macushi for Brazil. The signal covers the entire nation of Cuba, and Cubans are hungry for the Word of God. From teens to the elderly, people in every age category testify that they have recently received Christ as a result of hearing the programs of TWR.
The age of our homes, offices and radio station buildings, plus the wind and salt air, have rendered our infrastructure in much need of repairs and upgrades. TWR is addressing these needs in three phases, and we are ready to implement Phase Two. Following is a list of projects that will be accomplished with your prayers and support. Thank you for your consideration of these important needs!
