#lomé2, here we go!
The Radio Réveil Association, in partnership with the International Christian Center for Study, Research, and Information (CICERI) and Radios Ebène and Développement, is pleased to announce the second edition of the Training Seminar for Christian Radio Stations in French-speaking Africa, which will take place November 25–29, 2019, in Lomé, Togo.
Emmanuel Ziehli, director of Radio Réveil, was in Lomé (Togo), as well as in Cotonou and Porto-Novo (Benin), in early June to organize this second seminar focused on the strategic and operational aspects of the effective operation of Christian radio stations.
A Full-Featured Radio
Following the first seminar in January, which focused primarily on operational matters, it became clear that there was an urgent need to also engage with radio station leaders (pastors and founders) in order, among other things, to work with them to develop a vision for programming centered on the incarnate Gospel rather than the preached Gospel: a form of holistic radio that cares for the body, soul, and spirit.
The strategic vision will take the form of think tanks (integral radio, epidemic prevention, counseling, practical information, etc.), workshops on financial management based on biblical principles, and discussions regarding the creation of a Federation of Francophone Christian Media in Africa. The operational track will offer workshops dedicated to web radio/IP radio, journalism, audio, studio technology, marketing, and many other topics.
Distinguished Speakers
During his various meetings, Emmanuel announced the names of several of the expected speakers:
Dr. Alphonse Teyabe of Radio Salaaman in Cameroon,
Dr. Paul Zagré of JEMED in Niger,
Dr. Paolo Jean Bedogni of Radios Ebène Développement,
Pastor Franck Jeanneret and journalist Serge Carrel from Switzerland.
The director of Radio Réveil also met with participants at the first seminar to gather their feedback. Listen to Clément from Radio Providence in Lomé:

I truly commend the work of Radio Réveil for Francophone Africa. May God help us accomplish His mission through media at Qoolaand FM/Senegal.
A very good initiative to help Christian radio stations become professional. I am interested in participating in the training. What are the practical arrangements for participation and support? I am the director of RTEDH, an evangelical radio station. We broadcast on 94.5 FM in Rutshuru since 2008 (North Kivu province in DR Congo).
Thank you
