THE DEVELOPMENT OF RADIO VOICE OF THE GOSPEL:
We all thank God that the government of Tanzania has permitted private/non-governmental and individual radios including the Church to broadcast at local regional, as well as national levels. This is an opportunity as well as a challenge to the Church. Taking such chances, the Church (ELCT) will certainly face financial obligations, constraints as well as shortages of professional and skilled personnel.
To meet the needs of modernizing RVOG as well as expanding its existing facilities and infrastructure, the present facilities must be modernized. Some of the existing buildings must be renovated, while others have to be remodelled and new infrastructures must be added to suit the current needs.
It is realized that the magnitude of the work and costs involved in improving and modernizing RVOG, it is recommended that:
ˇ RVOG go into ventures with other Churches all over Africa in using satellite channels
ˇ More booster stations for FM stereo should be built in all zonal areas in Tanzania to increase the coverage of RVOG
The present generations are curious, they listen, watch and want to try or practice everything regardless of the impact that might happen to them. We hope the establishment of a Christian TV accompanied by an internet café will help to address some of their curiosity in a positive way. It will help to address their moral and spiritual issues. The television will be able to reach as many people as possible and of all generations and backgrounds.
