KONTAKT RADIO station reaches about 1.2 million people in Budapest with its new religious-cultural

broadcast

 

KONTAKT RADIO is the only “Protestant” radio station that has a broadcast on radio in Budapest (it is also available via www.forrasmedia.hu). Our goal is serving and informing our listeners on the basis of Christian beliefs and principles, thereby providing them with quality pastime alternatives. During the main broadcasting hours there are talk shows, cultural and literary programs, children and family themed programs, and musical selections; while in the evening hours we broadcast Bible studies, sermons, and prophecy series. On Saturday mornings Sabbath-keeping worships are broadcast, and on Sundays there are sermons by other Protestant liturgies.

 

KONTAKT RADIO – the radio station of connections

 

A new program called “Church and State” started on KONTAKT RADIO. The host Ivan Platthy, a retired Secretary of State, talks with his guests, such as well-known church and state leaders, experts and laymen about the role and ministry of churches and believers in our modern society. One of the guests of this program was Peter Erdo, the primate and leader of the Catholic Church, who talked about the beginning of his ministry in an informal way. Also Andras Heisler, the leader of the Alliance of Hungarian Jewish Faith Communes, talked about his experiences and impressions about his meeting with Angela Merkel, German Chancellor in the beginning of this year. We can learn about interesting life paths and experiences in later programs as well. Fountain Media Studio also records these radio programs which are available on two country-wide TV channels as well.

 

We broadcast only good news

 

We have renewed the hourly news on KONTAKT RADIO station. We broadcast current cultural and church news, events, and programs because our goal is to provide our listeners with useful religious news, information, and programs instead of public and political news.

We are trying to operate our radio and TV studios on $300/day. Yes, it sounds like impossible. Thus far, God has blessed us with the support that we needed as to run both the TV and radio programs. Our funding has come from private individuals and businesses. We do not receive any funding from the SDA church for the "Fountain Media" programs.
Many times we have less money than what we need, but we feel the blessings of God every day. We hold prayer meetings regulary with 30-40 church members who support us with donations as well. Some of them have small income or pension, and they can only pay maybe $20 every month. Some people can't help with money, but many times they cook a meal and bring it to the studio for us. One of the members of this group is unemployed, and he does not have any money, but he comes every week and does the cleaning in the studio. This ministry is run by a wonderful small group of people who work days and nights for this mission.

In order to expand the programs to meet new demands and take advantage of new opportunities, we need your support. If you would like to support the programs of the Blessed Life Foundation, please choose from these options:

"We have wonderful experiences every week. There are three pastors who usually lead the Sabbath School Study and 15-25 church members who participate in the TV studies. People recognize us on the bus, at the train station, on the street, and they tell us how important our TV programs are for them. They learn a lot from these Bible studies, and they thank us for them. Some of them ask for Bibles and books, and some request a visit in their home."
"People from other denominations watch Fountain Media's programs. For example, the pastor and the elder of one of the Baptist churches visited our church and also participated in our Sabbath School Study because they heard about "Fountain Media" and their motto, "Evangelism From The Clear Fountain". Then they told their experiences to their church members, and many of them started to watch our Sabbath School Study and other programs as well on TV or online . The reason why they like these programs, especially the Sabbath School Study Hour very much is because they can hear and study clear biblical truths and teachings."

 

A letter from a TV viewer: Dear Friends, We would like to tell you that the "Fountain Media" programs, worship hours, and Bible studies on PAX TV always delight our days. I live with my 85-year old mother. When we watch these programs, we can forget about our problems, sadness, sorrow, and depression. Every day we watch these worship hours, and these hours are the best part of my mother's day.One day while watching your program, my mother said to me from the bottom of her heart: "My dear son! We have found our way HOME". We live in a very small apartment, but our hearts have a place for Jesus Christ. Please send us a Sabbath School Study guide and a Church Hymnal. We would like to sing the songs together with you on TV. We would be happy with used books because we can't pay for new ones. Thank you very much for all of the teachings and blessings on your programs. We always pray for you. (Ferenc M. and my mother, Budapest)

 

"Few months ago our ministry ran out of money as many times before. It was payday, and we did not know how we would pay our three employees. The leaders prayed for this issue and went home. On the way home, one of them got a phone call from a Hungarian church member from Norway and she asked about Fountain Media's mission work. After a 10-minute talk, she said she was happy to hear these good news about our mission work because she and her husband wanted to send some donation to "Fountain Media". Two days later we got the donation, and we could give our employees their paychecks."

 

"Another time we had to pay the rent for the studio (about $800), but we did not have enough money. Everybody prayed at home and asked God for help. Next morning a visitor came to our studio and looked for one of the pastors. They sat down and talked about our TV and radio programs. The visitor said that he was a member of a Baptist church, and he liked our programs very much. Then he gave $800 to the ministry to support our mission work. We got the exact amount what we needed, and we could pay our rent right away."

 

"Pastor Szigeti was traveling by train, and he showed his ticket to the conductor. The conductor said: You don't have to show me your ticket, Mr. Szigeti. I am watching your programs on TV."

 

„It is very useful your Church News, it is really refreshing to listen! As self-proclaimed that "only good news we supply ." God bless you for that! I believe that you radio is in God’s hand and good to know that more and more new person involved an expertise and diligence in their work.”

“Studies in the Book of Revelation ” I listen to lectures more times. The teachings are very timely. Few have the message to transfer the will of God through the Holy Spirit and explaining people friendly to understand,. Now this happens in this series . God has his people of all time.”

PAX TV started to broadcast Fountain Media's programs about 5 years ago. Because of the excellent quality of the programs, PAX TV increased these programs' broadcasting time from 1 hour to 12-15 hours weekly. The focus of the program, "Fountain Media," is a rebroadcasting of the weekly Sabbath School Podcast to approximately 300,000 viewers per broadcast on PAX TV Channel.

 

The Sabbath School Podcast, along with other programs such as 60-part Revelation Series, 28 Doctrines, and Bible Open University Course, presented by L. Hangyas, L. Erdelyi, J. Szigeti, and I. Tokics, is repeated during the weekly 12 to 15 hours of TV broadcasting.

 

On every Saturday at 9:00 am the Sabbath School Study starts followed by a program about Bible principles on this channel. Many people get together in small groups with their friends on Saturdays, and they watch these programs. Also, some Catholic, Baptist, and Methodist church members watch our Sabbath School Study on Saturdays. In Hungary the Sabbath School Study by this ministry is the most viewed and a very unique religious TV program that studies the Bible.
