Bringing the Rainforests Closer

Rachel Phillips, a radio reporter with Premier Christian Radio, one of London's local radio stations, recently completed from a 10-day hike through the rainforests of Brazil.

Rachel, who's hike gained worldwide attention through her online diary and radio reports, has been working to raise money for homeless children.

She kept in touch with staff and listeners through her blog, an online diary with regular audio clips, and satellite phone calls.

Christians around the world have been responding to her daily Web and radio updates, including Premier Radio online listeners who live in Brazil and are keen to meet the Christian journalist.

I’ve been able to read messages posted on the Premier website from Christians listening-in only miles away from where I’ve been staying in Rio,” Phillips said. “It’s amazing to see how the gospel can be transmitted through the power of technology.”
