Jungle Radio Stations in Suriname

When Auca warriors of the Ecuadorian jungle murdered the five missionaries who were reaching out to them in 1956, it had a ripple effect on the missions world, inspiring many more to become missionaries. Ivan and Doris Schoen were among them and went to the Wayana tribe of Suriname.

Their son, Tom, speaks the Wayana language. He grew up among them as they came to Christ, and today, the Wayana are inviting Tom to team up with TWR to bring gospel radio to the jungles of Suriname. You will want to be a part of this movement of the Great Commission to reach some of the last remaining unreached people groups. Missionaries who went to the “ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8) led the Wayana to Christ, and now the Wayana are going out and making disciples. (Matthew 28:19).

God has provided equipment for two radio stations. The antenna towers, solar panels, and two generators are still needed to power the installation, plus funding to ship it all to Suriname and fly it into the interior, which is the only way.

Will you help TWR reach the last remaining unreached of Suriname with a generous gift today? Ten percent of all funds received for the project will be given to the Telos Foundation, a non-profit set up by the Schoen family to support Suriname missionaries, Wayana Bible distribution, and Suriname ministry opportunities.
