Upcoming Projects
Matters of the Soul Radio Broadcast |
Erich is currently arranging a radio programme named “Matters of the Soul” that will aim to provide relevant and accurate information to uplift and empower listeners. Topics will focus on psychological and spiritual wellness from a Christian Psychology perspective.
The aim is to spread the programme to a number of FM and internet radio stations across South Africa and Namibia as well as on our podcast and social media outlets. Matters of the Soul needs to buy airtime on radio stations in order to broadcast the programmes . This is costly and a monthly expense. |
