According to Fr. Kimu, by listening to how other
Radio Maria Stations in the world are performing, Christians in Malawians
should expect more good things in the future. He said they learnt a lot for the
growth of Radio Maria Malawi and as such there will be new and interesting
programs that will help the Malawian listeners to deepen their faith and
especially appreciate the Jubilee Year of Mercy.

since it is not a commercial radio station and relies on well-wishers.

“Many reports from Radio Maria Station in Africa revealed
that their listeners generously support the ordinary running of their Radio
Stations. In Malawi, quite a good number of listeners do so, but they could do even
better,” he said.
