Ownership Change for Romanian Christian Radio Network

On the 1st of October, Little Samaritan will cease to broadcast its programs in Romania.

After more than 19 years of broadcasting the Gospel, Little Samaritan Mission will no longer be on the air in Romania.

With much of the station's funding coming from the USA, and the American dollar being so low compared to the Euro, Little Samaritan Mission found themselves unable to pay the bills month by month, leading to the decision to relinquish all 26 transmission sites.

According to the ministry's founder and president Florin Pindicblaj, last November was the determining factor in their decision. "In the last two years, we were affected financially. It was harder and harder every month. Last year during the Sharathon (in November), we said this Sharathon will decide if we will continue our ministry through the radio in Romania."

Funding was ultimately the issue. "We needed $40,000 per month to maintain the operations of 26 transmitters, the satellite, the internet and the personnel. We just did not have the funds."

The purchase price was not disclosed, but the money will be used to support their radio network in nearby Moldova.

The radio network has been sold to another Christian organisation called Voice of Hope.
