Join us at Calvary Chapel Eastside for an evening to learn about our friends at KICY Radio Alaska, and enjoy a lovely, catered Alaskan Salmon Dinner on Saturday, October 9th, 5:30-8:30pm, to help support KICY Radio’s Russian Mission.
In the late 1980s, KICY Radio realized they were reaching many Russian listeners at 5,000 watts. Today, KICY is the only radio station in the United States licensed by the FCC to broadcast into another country in their language. When the people of western Alaska are sleeping from 11pm to 5am, it’s evening in Chukotka, Russia, KICY’s nearest neighboring region. It is then that KICY turns all 50,000 watts westward into this often cold and dark part of the world.
KICY Radio broadcasts are hosted by Russian Programmer, Luda Kinok, a native of the Chukotkan village of Sereniki. She brings current news, weather, and music to the program, along with a Russian version of the popular program CareForce, where Russian pastors from the area pray over the radio.
“Spreading the Gospel to Western Alaska and the Russian Far East since 1960.”
