Our top story this month comes from Senegal where we have had a marvelous breakthrough with the national station RTS. We have aired Christian programs in the past with RTS, but these have been one-off specials. Through the grace of God, on the 17th of February the first weekly Christian program aired in the Muslim nation.

The TV series airing on Senegal national TV is French language Superbook (Super Livre).

Already we are hearing of a great response to the show from both parents and children. Our director in Dakar, Gabriel Sagna, is absolutely delighted to see this come about. Gabriel has helped us campaign for a long time to reach this goal and the work has certainly paid off.

He believes that this is just the first step in a good long-term relationship with the station. He said that " hearts are softening " amongst the directors, which is incredible if you consider the tight Muslim control that grips the nation.

We are currently airing Les Responses on RTS Radio, and Gabriel has a slot to preach as well. Now that we have our foot in the door, we are praying and hoping that things can only get better in Senegal. We are already presenting the new series of Le Club 700 to the station.

Until then we continue to praise God knowing that at 5 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays the Gospel is going out on the National airwaves of Senegal and touching the lives of thousands of people!
