Today was another milestone in the building of the recording studio and Chejeji FM’s first home; it was time to pour the concrete floor. We are over a month behind our desired schedule due to the lack of cement in Ikelenge! We were wondering if it was an issue with the road as that is getting steadily worse due to the rains, but the cement sellers here in Ikelenge have […]
What a change!!! Walking into the building now things are really different as all the interior walls are plastered, and most of the rooms are ready for the concrete floor. We are thankful to the Lord that things are slowly taking shape even with shortages of cement and building materials in Ikelenge plus adverse weather. The first day of plastering outside, Ikelenge received our first hail storm of the year […]
It was a quiet Wednesday afternoon, the day had gone as normal and was about to finish when suddenly the news came – Chejeji FM’s application for a radio license to broadcast on the FM band was approved!!! Check out the post on IBA’s facebook account. We had been expecting a call for and interview, but looks like that was not needed in the process this time. Instead we were […]
At the moment, the shell of the studio building is just a place for wasps, bats and cats to hide in, but that is not it’s end goal. Those of us working on the building have seen many changes over the past number of months and it is now beginning to look like what we want. Now that the main structure of the building is in place the time has […]
What a sigh of relief! After a lot of hard work, and many hours of discussion and sitting over a computer, we have finally put together the application for Chejeji FM and at the end of the work day today it was personally submitted to IBA. Our desire with this application is to create a station aimed at supporting churches and the wider Christians community with content tailored to Lunda […]
Wow, Wow, Wow!!! Today is such a special day as we have just heard that the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA) has just sent out a call for applications for the provision of Radio Broadcasting Services. What does that mean? Well, it means that they are inviting people to apply for the ability to set up a new or expand and existing FM radio station. More than that, IKELENGE is on […]
What a time for celebration today; we have finished the roof of the recording studio! Due to the special nature of this building, since it is a recording studio, we needed to do some special things to the roof. Normally here in Ikelenge, we get about 6 months of rain each year. Rain, whether heavy or light, always makes a noise on a tin roof – often making it sound […]
Even though the rains have been quite regular over the past few months, we are thankful that the work on the recording studio is progressing. With some more supplies and some good hard work, we have finished the structure of the roof! Once that was done, the builders got busy to finish all the walls and gables right up to where the roofing sheets will go. There were a lot […]
While we wait for more supplies, let me give an update on how far things have gone with the recording studio building. The rest of the trusses went up well, even the last one which most deemed was going to be the most difficult one of them all. How thankful we are that all were kept safe as we walked along the top of walls moving and erecting the trusses. […]
