Highland Pastor Invited to Share Gospel Music on Community Radio
A community radio broadcast is helping share gospel music and encouragement with listeners across northern Scotland.
A new opportunity has opened for Pastor Wilfred Masih to share gospel music and encouragement with communities across northern Scotland through a local community radio station.
Masih, who serves Seventh-day Adventist congregations in Inverness, Elgin and the surrounding Highland region, was invited to present a 45-minute gospel music programme on KCR 107.7 FM. The station broadcasts across Moray and parts of the Highlands and Aberdeenshire, and is also available online, reaching an estimated 12,000 to 15,000 listeners each week.
“My initial reaction was that it was a really good opportunity,” Masih said. “It is not every day that a pastor is invited to take part in this kind of public-facing radio programme.”
Alongside co-presenter Trevor Mair, Masih guided listeners through a selection of gospel songs, featuring artists such as Stonewall Jackson, Connie Smith, Billy Joe Shaver and Jimmy Swaggart, and and also shared a short devotional reflection.
For Masih, the experience highlighted the potential of media as a form of outreach. Community radio, he noted, provides an accessible way of engaging people beyond church walls, particularly those who may not normally attend a church service.
“Gospel music is uplifting and can reach people who might never attend a traditional church,” he explained. “In a secular context like Scotland, music can open doors that might otherwise remain closed.”
While this was his first appearance on the Moray station, Masih is no stranger to the airwaves. In the past he presented a weekly Sunday morning gospel programme on the Sky platform that was broadcast across Europe and online, featuring music, interviews, live call-ins and studio guests.
Following the successful recording of the programme, the station manager invited Masih to return for another broadcast on Monday 6 April at 7:00pm, with a repeat airing the following day.
The broadcasts and the ongoing country gospel gatherings in northern Scotland reflect a growing, Christ-centred mission to reach people with the gospel in culturally relevant ways. Rooted in Scripture, these initiatives offer accessible pathways for spiritual growth, keeping faith and discipleship at the heart of every encounter.
