The training seminar for Christian media professionals in French-speaking Africa ended on Friday, November 27, with the awarding of the François Sergy Prize to a deserving media initiative. Jean-Luc Simbilyabo from eastern Democratic Republic of Congo won the prize for an original "integral radio" project.
On Friday, November 27, during the closing ceremony of the training week of the Forum of Christian Media in French-speaking Africa (FOMECAF), Congolese pastor Jean-Luc Simbilyabo received the François Sergy Award. "In the province of Ituri, a region deeply marked by intertribal unrest, this radio director took up the challenge of 'integral radio' and contributed through the airwaves to bringing a message of peace and reconciliation," noted Emmanuel Ziehli, director of Radio Réveil and the driving force behind the Lomé 3 organization.
