Mind, I'm not a regular listener to this Godly station, but I broke down crying softly in my car … I have fallen from Grace, backslidden. This story just opened my stubborn mind and heart.Eddie SiavorPort Moresby, Papua New Guinea
It was around 7.20 am this morning when I switched on to Wantok Radio Light Station, not even a clue on what the program was. There was a particular lady (expatriate) being interviewed by a certain popular gentleman who is a very familiar Radio Presenter.
Mind, I'm not a regular listener to this Godly station, but I broke down crying softly in my car when I was hearing the Lady going through the ordeal she went through while ministering to the orphans and sexually abused women in Sudan, Africa. The severe Brutality, shame and ridicule these women have to go through every day, as expressed by the lady, is just unimaginable.
I broke down when the lady confessed to have been raped by some Muslim extremist whilst searching for a child. For nearly four years she never told her husband of the incident, out of reasons only known to her.
I have fallen from Grace, backslidden. This story just opened my stubborn mind and heart.
Regards.

Contact UsWantok Radio Light is the voice of the PNG Christian Broadcasting Network — a Christian radio ministry serving Papua New Guinea since 2002.
To preach Jesus Christ to as many Papua New Guineans as possible — people of all walks of life, in both urban and remote communities — and to saturate the airwaves of PNG with Christian programming.
To use electronic communications media to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to Papua New Guinea and internationally, while addressing social issues in partnership with churches and NGOs.
The PNG Christian Broadcasting Network was established in 2001 and received approval from the PNG telecommunications authority (NICTA) to operate a Christian radio network.
On January 14th, 2002 at 2:00pm, Wantok Radio Light launched its first ever Christian radio broadcast over the airwaves of Papua New Guinea.
The broadcasting licence is held by the Papua New Guinea Bible Church, and the station is supported by many denominations and organisations — because we belong to the Body of Christ in PNG.
See our journey
Our national Constitution calls for the integral human development of every Papua New Guinean. We believe true development includes spiritual freedom — freedom from sin through Jesus Christ — alongside holistic personal growth.
Wantok Radio Light exists to complement the work of the churches in the spiritual and social progress of our nation, reaching homes, villages and workplaces that a pulpit alone cannot reach.
Our work is shaped by faith in Christ, love for people, and a desire to serve PNG well.
We serve Christ and share biblical truth with humility and care.
We speak hope to families, churches and communities across PNG.
We use radio and media to support people in their daily walk with God.
