"This book is not a scientific study or complete documentation on Radio Veritas Asia - the only continental short wave radio station of the Catholic Church in the world. This presentation rather tries to paint a picture of this so-called “missionary of Asia” (John Paul II) using testimonies of persons who have been involved or are related with this initiative. It documents the remarks of Popes on the project, the broadcasting activities of the station, and the reactions of listeners to the programs. This book tries to paint a realistic picture of this undertaking which over the years drew enthusiastic supporters and listeners, but also critical comments. Critical moments including some all-too-human experiences are not hidden. The development of this project shows in many ways that the power of the Spirit and the dynamics of missionary support are alive not only for the Church communities in Asia, but also for the dignity and uplifting of peoples in different cultures from different religions and communities all over Asia."
