Our beloved Brother Daniel Dumitru peacefully went to sleep in the Lord on August 18, 2018, at the age of 86.
Born to Romanian immigrants in Argentina on April 11, 1932, Brother Dumitru eagerly took an active interest in the colporteur work even in childhood. Early on, it was evident that the Lord had bestowed upon him a special talent for this vital branch of service; it was his greatest joy to spread the gospel especially through printed materials.

The radio is based in Belgrade as part of the Yugoslavian Union, and its name, "Svitanje", means "dawn". The program is hosted online, and thus earned the nickname “the radio that can be watched” as the interviews are streamed online as well.
