Carmela Ochoa was financially unable to purchase a radio in 1932. So, she borrowed one on a trial basis from a local store. After that, she borrowed a radio from a second dealer and then a third. Carmela was one of the first people to call HCJB. A missionary went to her home and gave her a New Testament Several years later Carmela was listening to HCJB when she heard a message by Reuben Larson that stirred her heart. She went to an evangelical bookstore where she met, by chance, D.S. Clark who then led her to the Lord.
Some time later, Carmela heard that HCJB was seeking someone to make programs in the Quichua language. As a child, Carmela had learned to speak Quichua from workers on her parents’ hacienda.
In 1901, nearly a decade after first hearing the gospel on HCJB, Carmela began sharing her new faith during her weekly Quichua programs on HCJB.
