Resurface Radio

The year 2005 saw the birth of Voice Radio. The dreams and aspirations for this entity were yet to be fully realized when it was cut short, five months later.  It seemed like the end of any hope for an Adventist radio station but Pastor Courtney Francois held on to his dream and continued to seek ways to bring this dream to fruition.

When in 2007 Resurface International was founded The desire once again reared its head and Pastor Francois again sought ways to make an Adventist radio station – a station that proclaimed the gospel of Jesus Christ and catered to the needs of an Adventist population who were not used to hearing music by Adventist ministers on air, and who needed a forum for the creativity of its music ministers – happen.

Opportunities for mainstream radio; Am/ Fm were not present nor did it seem as though they would be in the near future. God, however, does not operate on the same frequency as mere humans and He had already put things in place for the dream to go in another direction. 

Whilst discussing the whole issue of radio with computer-savvy colleagues, internet radio was looked at by Pastor Francois.  Internet radio was a new idea but from all indications it was radio of the future and therefore, the way to go.

The movement toward the inception of Resurface Radio was rapid and it appeared to the outsider, trouble-free. This of course was not the case. The problems ran the gamut from building constraints to financial shortfalls. God worked out each one in such a marked way that you knew that this was His child; His plan.     

May 23, 2009 was an auspicious date. It will go down in the annals of time and be remembered by young and old alike; but especially by those who were present for the launch and ribbon cutting ceremony at the humble yet promising building housed on the compound of the South Caribbean Conference of S.D.A. at Deane Street in St Augustine. As a babe in arms, Resurface Radio went through its gestation and then was birthed with much fanfare.  

Resurface Radio has placed the Adventist society in Trinidad and Tobago ahead of the rest. It has carved out and continues to carve, a niche for itself among Adventist and non- Adventist listeners alike. The dream, which was birthed on May 23, 2009 is no longer a babe. Daily we grows and will continue to grow as we spreads the Everlasting Gospel to all the world.
