Telling the Story of Radio Alternativa

by Norberto Kurrle

An Inspiring Story of Innovative Vision, Unexpected Tragedies, and Enduring Hope Nestled among the shops and homes of the Paraguayan city of Obligado sits a beacon of hope: Radio Alternativa. The first Christian radio station in Southern Paraguay, Radio Alternativa has been broadcasting the hope of Jesus Christ for over 15 years. Those years have not been easy: natural disasters, staffing problems, financial difficulties, personal tragedies, and leadership conflicts have conspired against this station's survival. But through it all, a faithful God has provided for Radio Alternativa's needs time and again. Within these pages you'll discover:

• Why Norberto Kurrle drove 12,000 miles to be the station's director (page 29)
• Unfortunate proof that lightning does strike twice (pages 25 and 105)
• How a misunderstanding about radios kept them stuck in customs for over a year (page 80)
• How Radio Alternativa is about so much more than radio (page 91)
• Why honesty is always the best policy (page 120)

"After finishing seminary, I was invited to direct a newly founded Paraguayan radio station. I spent almost nine years with that ministry, and although I am no longer involved full-time, I still serve on the board of directors. This book is the story of that radio station: Radio Alternativa, 92.7 FM. It was for a long time the only Christian radio station in southern Paraguay. So many amazing things have happened at that station, and I think it will bless you to learn about what God has done." - Norberto Kurrle, from the Introduction
