YCN Radio

YCN Radio ( ycnradio@outlook.com) and MD Movement was birthed out of the spirit of Benny Roberts with Youth Connection Network, a registered Youth NGO. He is passionate about the youth culture and distressed about the state of the church in South Africa pertaining the Great Commission of Jesus Christ. The religious spirit has become part of most churches with the corrupt prosperity preaching and churches and leaders are not eager to help with the missions message of the Bible. His only income over the years was always from few working Christians.

He started in full time missions with Rev. David Bliss, and American missionary. In his first two years he worked in 5 prisons. He during this time also started his radio ministry as programs manager and Breakfast Show presenter on air. He was on air 19 hours per week his first two years on radio. He over the years worked at three radio stations including CCFM in Cape Town (2006 -2008) as producer, presenter and broadcast engineer. In 2015 he planted a church in Agter Paarl where he stayed with his wife and son for four years mostly working with farm labourers and youth.

Over the years his counselling and deliverance teaching in communities and on WhatsApp enlightened many and many women were set free spiritually. YCN Radio was built after he explored in digital radio in 2015 while he was weekend manager at Radio KC. He started YCN Radio in 2018 after he equipped himself with technichal skills and the programming and general radio experience added to bring the vision of YCN Radio to its existence. The station has a unique way of operations and have its own style and format. Presenters can be from anywhere in the world and they are coached and guided online.
