Broadcast Ministry Partnership in Texico

GALLUP, N.M. – On May 4, 2025, a new chapter in Native faith-based broadcasting began as two Diné Adventist Radio (DAR) programs debuted on KSVA FM 104.3 and AM 920 in Albuquerque. Every Sunday afternoon from 3 to 4 p.m., listeners can tune in to an hour of uplifting, culturally resonant biblical programming, designed especially for the Navajo community.

This milestone marks a deepening partnership between DAR and LifeTalk Radio (LTR), a collaboration that began when DAR first began airing LTR content. Now, the relationship has come full circle, with DAR programming joining KSVA’s lineup to serve the Navajo population in and around Albuquerque, and on down through Los Lunas, Belen and beyond.

What to expect each Sunday:

• 3 p.m.:Timeless Bible Messages with Pastor Tom Holiday, a 30-minute sermon rooted in scripture and spiritual encouragement.
• 3:30 p.m.: A Beautiful Life, a bilingual program in Navajo and English featuring testimonies, stories, and reflections from God’s Word.

Leadership from DAR, LTR and KSVA all saw the value in dedicating this hour to Native voices and spiritual storytelling. It’s a powerful example of ministries working together to uplift and connect with the community.

If you are in the Albuquerque area, make Sunday afternoons a time to be inspired. Tune in to KSVA 104.3 FM or 920 AM at 3 p.m. and experience the beauty of three ministries joining hands to share hope, heritage and faith.
