Muito se fala sobre o fim das ondas curtas, mas lembrando que atualmente em nosso mundo, nem todos tem sequer acesso a energia el\u00e9trica quanto mais acesso a inclus\u00e3o digital. Durante o inicio do mandato de Barack Obama como presidente dos Estados Unidos, as ondas curtas s\u00e3o talvez o \u00fanico meio de comunica\u00e7\u00e3o para popula\u00e7\u00f5es inteiras no continente africano, e porque n\u00e3o dizer, em muitos rinc\u00f5es ao longo de nosso Brasil continental. Observem no relato da entidade religiosa abaixo, que no Congo, na localidade onde ocorreu uma conven\u00e7\u00e3o de pastores, s\u00f3 havia um \u00fanico aparelho de televis\u00e3o, conectado a uma antena de sat\u00e9lite. A alternativa foi sintonizar o discurso de Barack Obama atrav\u00e9s do r\u00e1dio de ondas curtas.<\/em><\/p>\n

BUSINGA, CONGO (January 21, 2009)<\/strong> \u2013 Attendees to a national pastors conference of the Evangelical Covenant Church of Congo (CEUM) were inspired as they listened to the inauguration of President Barack Obama on short wave radio, says Keith Gustafson, one of several leaders from the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC) attending the conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a big deal to people here that an African American was elected President of the United States,\u201d says Gustafson, ECC country coordinator for Congo.<\/p>\n

GroupSome of the participants also were able to watch news clips of the event at a nearby house that had the town\u2019s only television set, which received its signal via satellite. \u201cWhen pictures were shown of two million people in Washington D.C., people here gasped at the size,\u201d says Gustafson.<\/p>\n

The brief swearing-in and speech surprised the Congolese, Gustafson says. \u201cHere, they would have been much longer.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Congo conference opened Sunday and will run through Friday. Other ECC attendees who are leading workshops and preaching are Ruth Hill, executive minister of the Department of Women Ministries, and her husband, Brad; Keith Hamilton, president of Alaska Christian College; and Byron Miller, executive director of the Paul Carlson Partnership. More than 2,000 pastors and spouses are attending the event.<\/p>\n

Seminars for the pastors include Christian formation, development, reconciliation and tribal conflict, church administration, and church partnerships. Women, who packed the meeting room to overflowing, focused on women’s health, Christian ethics, and the Christian home.<\/p>\n
