MINISTRY: New Life Radio (for Russian language speakers)
CONTACT INFO: NLRadiousa@gmail.com, www.crfr.org

New Life Radio broadcasts Christian programming in the Russian language by satellite radio and internet radio and can be heard all over the world. Programming includes Christian music, Bible teaching, Christian drama, and news. The radio station broadcasts from Ukraine.

The target audience is listeners between the ages of 17 and 45. Because New Life Radio is non-denominational in scope, it is able to effectively reach a wide group of churches interested in proclaiming Christ to a lost nation.
Prayer Requests:

• The radio programs will continue to draw people to Christ.
• New Life Radio will be able to expand service to new areas.
• Needed finances to continue the ministry.
• Continued freedom to broadcast the Gospel.
