| A few weeks ago VFCM missionaries Karl Thieme and Brian Blair flew to the remote village of Hughes to repair the local broadcasting equipment. They were so encouraged to meet a number of the village residents. The repairs were completed in a few hours and they planned to return to Nenana late that afternoon. But a snow storm forced them to stay all night in Hughes. While this was not according to Brian and Karl’s plan, God used this circumstance to allow them to meet more of the people. KIAM is the only station that can be heard reliably in Hughes, and it was a great encouragement to learn of those who listen to the message of the Gospel which is broadcast 24 hours a day. On the plane trip home they met a man from another village who recognized Brian’s voice and told them he listens to our radio broadcasts in his village.
