Listeners to an Asian radio station will hear about Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection in a mixture of Hindi and English during the special Good Friday broadcast.

Sunrise Radio and media charity HCJB Global have teamed up to produce the special broadcast.

The charity’s chief executive Colin Lowther said: “Our hope is that people will get a chance to hear for themselves, in their own language, about what happened to Jesus 2,000 years ago.

“It’s not just about learning how the Christian faith began, but the difference it is making to people now.”
