Radio Lumiere: A Christian Broadcasting Network Since 1958
Radio Lumiere was founded in December 1958 by the Evangelical Baptist Mission of South Haiti, based originally in Les Cayes, and officially launched its broadcasts in February 1959. That makes it one of the longest-running radio stations in this entire collection, with a continuous broadcasting history stretching back well over six decades.
Today headquartered in Port-au-Prince and broadcasting on 97.7 FM, Radio Lumiere has grown from a single station into a wider Christian broadcasting network with stations across Haiti, known to its listeners as the voice of Haiti's evangelical community. Its programming centers on Christian teaching, gospel music, and spiritual encouragement, alongside genuine news coverage and commentary on social issues affecting the country, blending faith content with real engagement on the events shaping daily Haitian life.
Programs like Chante Lakay, built around Haitian gospel and spiritual music, and morning devotionals such as Aurore et Louange anchor its daily schedule, while educational and children's programming extends its mission beyond adult listeners alone. The network's reach is substantial: its broadcast signal covers a large majority of Haitian territory, connecting rural and urban communities alike, and its content is also available online to reach the Haitian diaspora.
For listeners seeking Christian programming rooted in one of Haiti's oldest and most established broadcasting institutions, Radio Lumiere offers a continuity of mission that spans generations.
