Here is an article which summarises the situation in Liberia. I trust that it prompts you to continue to pray for Rev. David DiCanio and Miss Joanne Greer who faithfully seek to continue the Gospel witness in that land in the face of the most foolish and sinful action by some within the Free Presbyterian Church who, embarrassed by an exposure of the embracing of modern and unscriptural ‘hymns’ used by some ministers, spitefully rejected the message from God’s Word and ejected the messenger.
Oh that the sentiments of the hymn sung in the morning assembly today in Kilskeery Independent Christian School, fill the hearts and souls of every Free Presbyterian.
Lord, in the fullness of my might,
I would for Thee be strong:
While runneth o’er each dear delight,
To Thee should soar my song.
I would not give the world my heart,
And then profess Thy love;
I would not feel my strength depart,
And then Thy service prove.
I would not with swift wingèd zeal
On the world’s errands go,
And labor up the heav’nly hill
With weary feet and slow.
O not for Thee my weak desires,
My poorer, baser part!
O not for Thee my fading fires,
The ashes of my heart!
O choose me in my golden time:
In my clear joys have part!
For Thee the glory of my prime,
The fullness of my heart!
May it please the Lord to have mercy upon our denomination and bring about a repudiation of the spirit of compromise with the world that has sprung up amongst us!
Sincerely in Christ’s name,
Rev Ivan Foster (Rtd)
Silenced but Not Stopped: DiCanio Secures Approval for New Christian Radio Frequency
David DiCanio, a missionary in Liberia, West Africa, who was deposed from the gospel ministry amid controversy surrounding his opposition to Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) in the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster, has received approval from the Government of Liberia to conduct test broadcasts on the AM 990 frequency, marking a significant step toward re-establishing the Christian radio ministry he founded in 2017.
After 14 years of service in Liberia and the loss of control of Free Presbyterian Radio, DiCanio initially applied to the Liberia Telecommunications Authority for a new FM licence but was informed that no additional FM frequencies were being issued due to a moratorium caused by severe congestion on the FM band.
He subsequently urged regulators to reopen the AM spectrum — widely used in Liberia prior to the civil war — noting that many radios in homes and rural communities still include AM capability, even though newer street-market models are often FM-only.
The authorisation to test AM 990 reflects both regulatory realities and the continued importance of radio in Liberia, where limited electricity and costly internet access mean that broadcast radio remains the primary source of news and information for much of the population. DiCanio stated that the proposed station would restore conservative preaching, including a willingness to address religious compromise and apostasy — programming that previously attracted a large audience to his earlier broadcasts.
The new outreach will operate under the name Free Grace Gospel Mission in Liberia, with the station expected to broadcast as Free Grace Gospel Radio. Financial support is currently being sought to develop the project, including equipment, licensing, and transmission infrastructure.
