Bonaire FM Fundraising Goal Met

Today we received a check for our new FM transmitter project that has allowed us to reach our goal. We might even be able to purchase a 500W transmitter instead of the 300W one we had originally planned on. (Our license allows us up to 500 Watts.)

Here are pictures of the contenders for the new Voice of Hope transmitter.

About 65% of the contributions to the Bonaire FM transmitter project came from our listeners here on Bonaire, and 35% came from friends in North America. A big Thank You to everyone, who prayed about this need or who contributed to this project.
We hope to have the new transmitter here and installed by the end of this year.

Brad, How much more would be required to get the 500 W unit?

Brad said...

The new transmitter would cost about $1000 more than what has been raised so far. I think I can see another $500 coming in, so that leaves $500 un-accounted for.

Brad, where would we send contributions for this effort?

Update: TWR has just ordered the larger of the two FM transmitters, trusting that the extra funds will indeed come in.
