New Manager for Lighthouse VOAR-FM
Fred Nkayivu
Lighthouse VOAR-FM has undergone several changes over the past few years. From transitioning to the FM band in December 2019 to relocating to a new site in November of last year, the station has been on a transformative journey.
Amidst these recent changes, Lighthouse FM is now part of the media umbrella of Hope Channel Canada, which is a part of Hope Channel International. Hope Channel began broadcasting in North America in 2003. Today, Hope Channel is a global network with more than 80 channels broadcasting in over 100 languages.
Hope Channel Canada is the new media arm of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Canada.
As a result, Lighthouse FM is in the midst of management changes. Fred Nkayivu will officially assume the role of our new Station Manager and Engineer beginning May 11th, while Sherry Griffin now serves as the Music Director/Broadcaster. With Brian Matthews retiring in June, Fred will assume his duties as well.
Fred brings a wealth of professional experience in telecommunications, electrical engineering, and radio broadcast engineering. His qualifications include a master’s degree in business administration and a BSc degree in Telecommunication, Radio, and Television Engineering. Additionally, he holds certification as a Project Management Professional. Fred has been happily married for 16 years and is a proud parent of five children.
We extend a warm welcome to Fred and his family and eagerly anticipate working alongside him. May God continue to guide Lighthouse FM on its mission!
Happy Valley-Goose Bay
Tower site lost in fire
Lighthouse FM was heartbroken to find out that we lost all of our broadcasting equipment at 5 Wing Goose Bay, in the huge fire on Friday, April 19. The blaze had the town declaring a state of emergency.
We have to decide what to do next to get back on the air in that community. People have already started reaching out, asking how they can help. We love you for that! Thank you! We will have to scout out a location and start from scratch.
We know the community was hit hard by this fire and we were so thankful no one was injured or killed. We know financially it was also a big hit to the community.
It will likely cost the station $35,000+ to set up a new location. For those looking to help us restore our broadcast to the wonderful people of Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador, kindly call the station toll free at 888-740-8627, or donate securely online at lighthousefm.org
Please let us know that you are donating towards the Goose Bay site, through your call or correspondence. Also, be sure to include your phone number should we need to contact you.
Please keep this unexpected loss in your prayers, and that our Father would direct us to the right consultants and Industry people to help us get back on the air quickly.
You can still listen live on our web site or download the Lighthouse FM App.
Thank you from the bottom of our heart!!
Over the next little while, we will be working on our website. Please excuse anything that appears out of place as we revamp our website to serve you better!
Thank you for your patience!
