THE LUTHERAN RADIO CENTRE TANZANIA

HISTORY OF THE LUTHERAN RADIO CENTRE

	During the times of the first Lutheran Bishop on Kilimanjaro, Bishop Moshi, the teachers at the bible school in Mwika up the Kilimanjaro got the idea to use the radio to proclame the Gospel to all the people in Tanzania.
	Since the road down from Mwika was realy muddy during rainy season Bishop Moshi assisted them to build a studio in Moshi.
	The programmes got aired from the big short wave Station in Addis Ababa in Ethiopia build by the Lutheran World Federation.
