How exciting that United Methodists have the opportunity to help raise funds for Radio Methos for the broadcasting year of 2010. Radio Methos is providing programming to Ivorians relevant to their needs. Education regarding malaria, agriculture, reconciliation programming and Bible study will transform lives in the country of Cote d’Ivoire.

The United Methodist Church in Cote d’Ivoire is already working on funding the radio station. Our hope is to meet our Easter season goal of $70,000 for Radio Methos so the director and staff can begin implementing their plan for sustainability for 2011. Donating money saved during Lent by giving up something will propel Radio Methos’ impact. Organize your church, youth groups, choirs and Bible studies to give to Radio Methos.

Our Easter season goal is $70,000. Together we can do it.

Please add the staff of Radio Methos to your prayers: Director Aqcuah and staff Pacome, Jean-Marc, Jean-Luc, Martin and Isaac.

Friends of Cote d'Ivoire

Send the Easter bunny packing.  Send hope to Cote d'Ivoire. 

Here’s a challenge—and an invitation. Give up something during Lent and share the money you would have spent to give new life to people in Cote d’Ivoire. Help us reach our goal of $70,000. Together, we can do it!

In the United States, instant messaging is a way of life. Within minutes of a 7.0 earthquake reducing Port-au-Prince, Haiti, to rubble, for example, we heard about it.

That’s not the case for the people of Cote d’Ivoire. In that west African country—where electricity and the Internet are unreliable, where many people cannot read or write, and where roads are often impassable—it may take weeks or even months for people to get the news. Because radio is the primary means of communication, United Methodists launched Radio Methos (101.6 FM) on Christmas Eve 2009.

But we need you and your congregation to keep Radio Methos on the air.  Learn how
