Sample from St. Christopher's Hour

For a number of years Father taped a program [St. Christopher's Hour] in Navajo that was first broadcast over station KVFC in Cortez Colo., then of station KUTA in Blanding, Utah. Many times when Father was traveling thru the Reservation a strange Navajo would listen to him talk and then say, "I listen to you on the radio." One day a Navajo man told him, "I like your program best it is alive. Some of the others are perfect but they sound dead. You make mistakes but you sound alive."—Brother Juniper’s Tales of Navajoland

I make a tape recording here [St. Christopher’s Mission] in the Navajo language which is, well, it’s not a sermon, it contains a good deal of instruction. Every time I try to cover the whole content of the Christian revelation in the course of about six months using the Christian year as a basis for a great deal of our teaching. We have songs, hymns and various interesting little things to kind of brighten up the program so as to make it not entirely just talk, talk, talk, talk. But it’s all in the Navajo language and many of them have radios now in their cars, in their pickups and even in their homes. And so this covers a large part of the reservation, far beyond our own territory and it’s really an important phase of our evangelistic program.—Father Liebler, Tape 45
