Nairobi, 26 November, 2019 / 10:00 am (ACI Africa).
The World Family of Radio Maria with presence in 80 countries, 23 of them in Africa, launched an additional station in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi Monday, November 25, striving to report from the grassroots and engaging audiences in live events.
“We are going to take the radio to the Christians, not Christians to search for the radio. We have mobile broadcasting equipment that are fully equipped” the director of Radio Maria Kenya, Fr. Gerald Augustine Omunyin told ACI Africa in an interview during the official inauguration of the station.
Fr. Omunyin, a member of the Contemplative Evangelizers of the Heart of Christ added, “The vision for Radio Maria is that we are going to reach Christians from their homes … we reach the people on the ground and we broadcast from where they are; that is the nature of our evangelization.”
Emphasizing the strategy to engage audiences, the coordinator of the world family of Radio Maria in Africa Paolo Taffuri told ACI Africa, “We broadcast Mass from the parishes; that is how we go to the people.
Mr. Taffuri added, “We also go where people are praying together in their families and Small Christian Communities and we broadcast this in the Radio Maria so that many listeners can pray together with that family at the same time.”
