Aunty Tina (Solomon Islands)                                    29 May 2012
Greetings! 

 

Pacific Partners has some very dedicated and gifted people in the Islands. The people you and I are supporting as they disciple their Islands by radio. 

 

I'm continually inspired (and often challenged) by their faith and dedication. I'm always hearing stories of how God is using them. I want to introduce you to our special people one by one.

A challenge 
for a local leader

The huge cost of rent in Honiara (plus issues with our neighbours who stole our electricity) has encouraged Tina to look for less expensive premises.

 

Now, we have been offered some land on the hill behind Honiara and construction is starting on a new studio.

 

This new studio site will give better signal coverage for our transmitter and is rent free.

 

Tina and our local board members decided to vacate our old studio right away and use the rental money saved for materials to build the new studio. So our staff have become 'hammer-hands' to get the job done as quickly as possible so we can be back on the air as quickly as possible with the 'Gud Nius' about Jesus Christ.  

  
[ email me ] for more information about this project.
Let's help Tina
and Gud Nius Redio
The station costs very little to operate. Basic operating costs are met by local listeners and most work is done by volunteers.

But the Solomon Islands is a very poor country and they need our help as well.

Tina Lemazi lives in Honiara (capital of the Solomon Islands) on the Island of Guadalcanal, with her husband Martin, six sons and five grandchildren. 

 

She is well known locally as Aunty Tina. Our workers affectionately refer to her as 'Aunty' which is a common term of respect in the local culture. 

For many years, Aunty Tina worked for the government radio station. She is one of the Solomon Islands' most experienced broadcasters. Now, she is Station Manager of Gud Nius Redio (Good News Radio) in Honiara.

She writes - 

"I heard so much about what it is like to be a Christian. Testimonies I heard went like these - "when I gave my life to Jesus life was so good, whenever I am in need God heard me, I gave my life to Jesus if I die today I will go to heaven" and I said this person is so sure of himself who does he think he is. 

 

Some [of my husband's family] were talking about how it was when they gave their life to Jesus and under my breath I would say, "For how long?"

 

In 1989 I gave my life to Jesus I was expecting thunder bolts and lightening flashes going through me but it was not to be. 

 

All this time I was working for our national broadcasting station glowing in my achievements as the first Solomon Islands female broadcaster wallowing all the praises I received as the best announcer . . . 
 
[I was] there for 25 years [then] in 1999 it was the beginning of the ethnic tension and I resigned.
 
First of May 2004 Christian Radio was launched [in Honiara] and everyone was excited except me! 

Please pray for Aunty Tina

and the ministry in the Solomon Islands

  • Please pray for Tina and her family.
  • Please pray for wisdom and protection as she leads the Pacific Partners ministry in the Solomon Islands.
  • Please pray for the volunteer staff of Gud Nius Redio.
  • Please pray for finance to complete the new studio building in Honiara.
  • And most of all, pray for many Solomon Islanders to respond to the Gospel over Gud Nius Redio.
