Little John and the Radio - Monday afternoon

Pastor Peter and I went downtown to the FM radio station on Monday afternoon, to be interviewed on the live, drive-time radio broadcast. The host is a man named "Little John," and he is the owner of the Sports Hotel, one of the tallest and newest buildings in Kumasi, as well as the FM radio station, which is directly across the street from the big soccer stadium. Little John is a young man, mid-thirties or so, very athletic looking, a sharp dresser and a real “go-getter” entrepreneur.

We started the interview with some background information on what "Grace For Today" is and where we're from. And then we got into what we believe. We talked about the gospel of the grace of God; being sealed in Christ by the Holy Spirit; how to pray under grace, knowing that God doesn't always "fix all our problems" but He always gives us the grace and strength we need to live wherever He has put us. Little John seemed to really get interested in what we believe and kept asking questions and prompting me to go on. We ended up getting about 45 minutes of airtime!

We left the studio after our interview, but continued listening to the rest of the broadcast on our way back to the hotel. Several listeners called in to say that they needed to hear more of that kind of teaching. When I walked into our hotel, the young woman at the front desk told me she was surprised to suddenly hear one of her guests preaching on the radio program and that she really liked the teaching that was given.

Little John invited us back to the station for another interview next week!
