Pastor Alfred Chompff sent us a comment of Fridays Dec. 10, 2004 broadcast on 5,775 kHz (2000-2100 UTC):
This is the second sermon on John chapter 9. God uses the healing of this blind man as a type or picture of salvation. The formerly blind man said to the Pharisees, “He opened My Eyes”. God did it 100%. I did not ask for it, and neither did I deserve it. Salvation is entirely by grace. By definition “grace” is a free gift from God, like John 1:13 says, “Which were born (again), not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God”. |

European Gospel Radio is starting special radio services to reach listeners overseas with new powerful transmitters using 100 and 250 kW Shortwave and 500 kW AM/Mediumwave.
According to our experience Shortwave radio is still a unique, very low cost and far reaching opportunity to bring a message to the remote lands of China, India, Africa, the Middle East and the former Soviet Union. A radio message on Shortwave radio reaches millions of people far away and over large territories at a fraction of the cost of conventional media, especially when FM, TV or satellite reception is not available. From our unique position in the South-Eastern part of Europe we can reach all the most troubled, conflict and poorest region of the world where Shortwave is just about the only way to receive a message of salvation.
We are running a special promotion for Christian stations and program producers that ends on Dec. 15, 2004. For more information check our website at or email us at:

We are pleased to welcome a new member to the growing family of EGR broadcasters! The Streetcats foundation began airing through European Gospel Radio early in September, using our 100 kW stream on 5,775 kHz each Friday night from 2230-2300 Central European Time.
 Since 1988 STREETCATS FOUNDATION has been working with streetkids, runaways and other at-risk youth on the streets of New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Over the years, STREETCATS, worked miracles on city streets, getting teens and young adult victims of abuse that other counselors, police and probation officers had given up on, off alcohol and other drugs, reconciled with loved ones and into productive lives. Through time, patience and tough love, the STREETCATS program worked! And it worked with little personnel or money and with mostly government and police apathy.
Their excellent 30 min radio program called REACHING UP! RADIO may also be heard via streaming audio via the facilities of NEXUS-IBA/IRRS. |
Pastor Alfred J. Chompff can be heard every Friday from 21:00-22:00 (9-10PM) Central European Time over European Gospel Radio on 5,775 kHz (100 kW). Alfred Chompff is Pastor at the Reformed Bible Church of Southern California, in Los Angeles. He was officially ordained on Jan 25, 1998, and has been studying the Scriptures for more than 25 years. Pastor Chompff's message is that that we should trust in Christ Jesus now, and urgently, as our Savior. His weekly 50 minutes broadacsts are a look into God’s Word, the Bible and are taken from one of their Sunday morning worship services. As you will notice in hearing them over the air, Pastor Chompff usually starts out each sermon with the words, "Please open your Bibles". He does so in order that people would have the opportunity to look into the Bible themselves, and make sure that he is rightly dividing the Word of Truth. Their hope is that you will find this Study to be Spiritually enriching and that it would encourage you to begin reading and studying the Bible more carefully. |

With the change to summer or daylight saving time, all Shortwave stations around the world adjust their schedules by changing frequencies and times of operation. IRRS Shortwave and European Gospel Radio have a policy to try keeping both times and frequency consistent with local time in Central Europe. In this way, listeners are less confused as they are not required to re-tune their receivers, and they may find our station easier on their dial. |

 On Sunday Feb. 8, 2004, IRRS starts new test broadcasts to North (Mediterranean) and West Africa using a powerful 100 kW beam. These broadcasts are intended to cover a large segment of listeners who live in the large populated areas of North Africa over the Mediterreanean sea, and especially those living in tents and refugee camps in the desert.
Among them over 170,000 people are living in four refugee camps in the harsh southern Algerian desert in West Africa. For the last twenty years these refugees have been forced to live in tents, and Shortwave radio is just about the only communication media able to reach them.
Broadcasts to this area are part of a co-operation project involving several Italian organizations and Regione Emilia Romagna. The goal of the project is to re-enforce communication with the Sarahawi people that to this day use Shortwave radio as one of the most valuable communication media to the outside world. |
 On Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, 2003, we run a four hour special broadcast using 250 kW of power, featuring programs in English, German and Italian. This was a one time, occasional broadcasts with a special Christmas program produced by one of NEXUS-IBA's members in Europe.
The latest portion of the 250 kW night-time broadcast was heard with excellent conditions by listeners overseas in the USA and Canada. Here are some excerpts from emails received in real-time during the broadcast: |

We are receiving reports from the Pacific that our Friday evening broadcasts using 100 kW are reaching Australia and New Zealand with a "loud and clear" signal.
A listeners in Australia tells us: "Ive just tuned in on 5.775KHz, just on sunrise here in SE Australia, at 19.25 hrs, with a Panasonic DR48. Sounds like a religious man speaking about Gods Grace (Reading from Epistle to the Romans at 1932 hrs), with a 60 metre longwire, pushing about an S7 to 9 with 100% readability. Signal prior to sunrise is excellant 9+30, first time Ive listened to IRRS. Also listening with the 16kbps stream, which is nice."
Another listener writes us : "I just thought I would inform you now of how well your signal was received here in Eastern Australia in Port Macquarie, N.S.W."
These are just some of the messages that we receive, and tells us how European Gospel Radio broadcasts on Shortwave and over the Internet can reach far away countries, and indeed are going far beyond our intended target areas. |
