Since 2014, Reach Beyond NZ has collaborated with various local partners to supply solar panels, LED lighting, and shortwave radios to communities residing in remote and rural villages across the Asia Pacific region, with a particular emphasis on India. Currently, in Ghana, West Africa, we are working in partnership with Theovision International to deliver village illumination and Gospel content through our enhanced Sheep Stations, benefiting more than 100 villages throughout the country.
The Sheep Station is a portable Wi-Fi server which provides anyone with Wi-Fi enabled devices such as mobile phones, tablets or computers access to the SuperBible comics and animations, digital Bibles, educational material, music and many other digital resources made available through its web server and intranet radio station. It is designed to work in areas with limited or no Internet access and offers, a hub of Biblical learning resources to support spiritual growth in Christ. Once connected to the Sheep Station Wi-Fi network, a user only has to open a web browser to freely access the radio stream and files stored on server. No login is necessary and no user information is stored or required.
We are pleased to present a testimony from Chief Gordon Atakwa of Doglokpo village in Ghana, who attests to the transformative power of the Gospel within his community of 200 residents. He reports a significant shift, with many individuals embracing Christianity, resulting in a tremendous impact on the village as a whole. Previously, approximately 50% of the population adhered to animist beliefs, but this demographic is undergoing a significant change. Chief Gordon asserts that the Gospel has proven to be a more potent force than the traditional shrines and spirits that once dominated their worship practices. “And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He (Jesus) made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.” Colossians 2:15

The Sheep Stations also can provide public listening opportunities through loudspeaker broadcasts as well as 24/7 radio streams to mobile devices connected to the Wi-Fi hotspot.
