After three years of planning, the first Christian radio network began in 2002 as FM station Wantok (OneTalk) Radio Light went on the air in Papua New Guinea with the help of HCJB Global. 
It has since been rated as the leading radio station in the capital city of Port Moresby.
Following that initial station launch, HCJB Global partnered with Wantok Radio Light to put in a shortwave station and 15 FM repeater stations that have made the network’s Christian programs available to the nation’s entire population of nearly 5 million in the official language of English as well as Pidgin.
The broadcasters have again asked HCJB Global to assist them as they expand the network with a goal of installing 15 more repeaters in the next year, and we are gearing up to lend our technical expertise and equipment so that our local Christian partners can fulfill that vision.
As the network continues to grow, the leaders have recognized the ongoing need for training for both their programmers and their technical staff, so HCJB Global is collaborating with the local believers to equip the radio station workers and mobilize them for even more effective ministry.
The impact of Christian radio in Papua New Guinea is expanding ...
In one remote town, Wantok Radio Light is the only radio station in the area, so listeners report that even in the local bar, Christian radio and the gospel of Jesus Christ is being heard!
