PARTNERSHIP FOR TIBET

The 'Gaweylon Programme for Communications'

The 'Gaweylon Programme for Communications' is a North Indian based multimedia ministry. It aims to reach the 6 million plus Tibetans living in China, Tibet, Nepal, India and Bhutan with the Good News of Jesus. Gaweylon is working in partnership with many different Christian organisations, one of which is Radio Worldwide. All share a similar vision, goals, and objectives.

The Gaweylon Radio Programme

Every day the 30 minute Gaweylon radio programme can be heard on the 19 Metre band short wave by listeners at home in the Himalayan ranges at an altitude of 12,000 feet, as well as in refugee camps in the low plains of India.

The language used in the production of these programmes is the Lhasa (Central Tibet) dialect. It is believed that more than 70% of the Tibetan population can speak or understand this dialect.

This wholesome, lively, interesting and challenging radio programme contains features, relating to Tibetan life and needs.

• Health related issues
• History and Culture
• Science and Technology
• Folklore, Songs, and Folk Tales
• Proverbs and traditional Sayings
• The Bible
• Ancient Times
• Old Testament Readings and New Testament Stories

A Multimedia Ministry

Radio is cost effective, unobtrusive, and it is easily accessible - every home can be reached by Radio. Gaweylon is also engaged in the production of printed materials in Tibetan, including Bibles, Christian and health related materials. Cassettes of songs and stories have also proved very popular. Contact with listeners by mail is also an important feature of the ministry. Team members visit listeners to provide face to face communication and to demonstrate the practical concern that they have for them.
