ABR is a network of associated, equal partners that recognizes the work of existing local, regional and international media bodies working in Africa . Therefore, mechanisms have been put in place that allow ABR to be as inclusive as possible of all these organizations so that together we can spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ across Africa in the most effective manner.
Why did we form?
At
a meeting in Burkina Faso in July/August 2004 a forum of various
Christian broadcasters working across Africa, was asked to think in a
new way about strategy in Africa . Through discussion they could find
ways to co-operate and work together pro-actively so that, with God’s
help, the broadcast industry would be maximised at all levels.
Africa by Radio is a body of Christian broadcasters unified by an agreed strategy, supporting God’s plan for Africa. We are committed to seeing that every man, woman and child in Africa is provided the opportunity to turn on a radio and hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a way and language they can understand, so they can become responsible members of His Church.
How do we work
Guidelines for the activities of Africa by Radio are expressed in the Africa by Radio Memorandum of Understanding.
