In the heart of war-torn Odessa, Ukraine, where the echoes of explosions often drown out everyday life, one Christian radio station has defied the odds—staying on air in the midst of relentless conflict.

New Life Radio International, a Gospel-centered radio network based in Odessa, has continued broadcasting throughout the war, serving as a lifeline of hope and truth to listeners across both Ukraine and Russia. Despite ongoing peace talks, the city remains under heavy fire, and the station itself has not gone untouched.

“Our facility has been hit,” said Daniel Johnson of New Life Radio. “We’re just hoping the electricity stays on so we can continue our satellite and internet broadcasts. It’s not easy operating in a city under constant bombardment, but we know our mission—to get the Gospel to two nations that desperately need to hear it—is more urgent than ever.”

New Life Radio has become a rare bridge between believers in Russia and Ukraine, reaching the wider Slavic world with the message of Christ. Through satellite and internet radio, they are acting as peacemakers and proclaimers, sharing faith across national lines in a time of deep division.

Now, as they look to the future, the station is seeking to move out of their aging, rented 195-year-old building and purchase a more secure and permanent facility. This move would help ensure their ability to continue broadcasting the hope of the Gospel for years to come.

In a city surrounded by chaos, New Life Radio is standing firm—offering peace, unity, and truth over the airwaves.
