Broadcast of Seicho-No-Ie Television Program Begun in Columbia

First Broadcast in Spanish-Speaking Country

In Columbia, the airing of Seicho-No-Ie’s television program started on February 17 on a commercial television channel, CNC. It is the first broadcast in a Spanish-speaking country. It can be viewed in Palmira, Calca (population; about 350,000). The program is broadcast twice a week, for 30 minutes from 9:00 p.m. every Thursday and it is re-aired.

Entitled “Seicho-No-Ie—A Happy Way to Live in Harmony with Nature,” the program takes up different themes about daily lives, such as prosperity, health, reconciliation and environment and is comprised of a lecture by Rev. Yoshio Mukai (Ordained Minister, Bishop of Seicho-No-Ie Latin America), testimonies and prayers.

The Brazil Missionary Headquarters are airing Seicho-No-Ie television program on 25 channels in Brazil. Since it is proving to be a great tool in propagating, television broadcast was recommended to other Latina American countries. Seicho-No-Ie Columbia has decided to do so.

Spanish programs for Columbia are prepared and edited by the Brazil Missionary Headquarters and the finished images are transferred to the television channel for airing through the Chief of Columbia Missionary Area, Mr. Irma Del Carmen Hernandez Fugueroa.

After the broadcast of the program comments were received, including, “I came to know this great teaching and I was very happy to hear a wonderful message.”

According to the Brazil Missionary Headquarters, they are in contact with Seicho-No-Ie in other Spanish-speaking countries regarding the possibility of broadcast and also talking to television stations. The broadcast in Spanish-speaking region is expected to increase.

Remarks by Rev. Yoshio Mukai, Bishop of Seicho-No-Ie Latin America

“The scope of propagation via television is far more expansive than we can imagine. I expect that the use of television broadcast will contribute greatly to the expansion of our Movement in the Spanish-speaking region.”
