Janice Reid

Missionary Radio Trainer

Introducing Janice, a dedicated individual with a passion for Christian radio and a heart for ministry in South East Asia. Her remarkable journey in this field began back in 1991 when she first ventured into the world of Christian broadcasting. Since 2004, Janice has been an invaluable member of the Reach Beyond team, investing her time and expertise in radio production and training others to do the same.

Throughout her years of service, Janice's primary focus has been on radio ministry in South East Asia. Her commitment to spreading the message of hope and faith through radio programs has left a lasting impact on the lives of countless listeners in the region.

In 2021, Janice made a significant decision to relocate back to her home country, New Zealand. This move allowed her to continue her work with Reach Beyond while also providing essential support to her family members with health needs. Furthermore, she embraced the opportunity to actively engage with her local church, contributing her talents and experience to the community she holds dear.

As the world adapted to the challenges of the pandemic, Janice demonstrated incredible resilience and adaptability. She recognized the importance of online platforms and took on the task of training radio presenters through virtual means. This shift in focus opened doors for collaboration with trainers in Sub-Saharan Africa, fostering a global network of like-minded individuals dedicated to radio ministry.

Janice's expertise extends beyond traditional radio, as she empowers radio stations in South East Asia to leverage the power of social media. By guiding them on effective strategies, she helps these stations enrich and extend their reach to even more listeners, connecting them with the transformative message of faith and hope.

Though much of her work has transitioned to online platforms, Janice remains committed to providing hands-on support to radio teams when needed. She understands the value of personal connections and thus travels from time to time to offer her wisdom, encouragement, and specialized training to teams on-site.

With a relentless pursuit of excellence, Janice continually upskills herself in the latest trends and technology relevant to her field. This commitment ensures that she remains at the forefront of radio ministry, effectively utilizing every available tool to reach hearts and change lives.

Janice's journey is one of unwavering dedication, compassion, and innovation. Her impact spans borders and cultures, leaving a positive imprint on the lives of those she serves. Through her work, she continues to inspire others to join the mission of spreading love and hope through the powerful medium of Christian radio.
