The Discipleship Hour is
a radio ministry specializing in broadcasting overseas. It is in
third world countries that 95% of the world's population lives -
mostly without the hope that comes through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
It is ironic that by contrast, 97% of evangelical dollars are spent
in America where only 5% of the world's population resides.
The Discipleship Hour is attempting to reach the people outside
the borders of the United States. About half of the world's population
has never heard the wonderful name, Lord Jesus. Many are drifting
aimlessly through life, without hope. Radio broadcasting remains
the best medium to reach those searching for answers to life's questions.
These are the ones whose heart is wide open to the gospel message
and whose thirst for the word of God is immense.
The Discipleship Hour can be heard in the
Caribbean and Central America through Trans World Radio in Bonaire
and also their satellite system that covers the islands. Our broadcast
is heard twice a week in Brazil in the Portuguese language through
the facilities of H.C.J.B. in
Quito Ecuador. We broadcast in English to the South Pacific through
H.C.J.B. and Trans World Radio
in Guam. We are heard in the Philippines on radio station DZAR.
Our broadcast is beamed into China through Trans World Radio in
english and also a Chinese dialect. We can be heard 3 times a week
in english thru all of India through the facilities of F.E.B.A.
We also broadcast in an Indian dialect through Trans World Radio
transmitters in Europe. H.C.J.B.
airs our Russian broadcast through their satellite system consisting
of 30 local FM and AM stations scattered throughout the old Soviet
Union. We are heard in English in the Middle East through the Voice
of Hope radio station in Lebanon. In Africa we are aired through
two Trans World Radio facilities. Their 500 KW transmitter in Johannesburg
and their satellite system in Swaziland that services a number of
local AM and FM stations in South Africa! Also the Discipleship
Hour is heard in English twice a week in East Africa through the
facilities of Radio Africa.
Our ministry is based upon the fundamental view that the Bible is
inerrant and God-breathed and that salvation and growth can only
come through the preaching and teaching of the Word. We are one
of the few radio ministries that teach the Bible on a verse by verse
expository, going through the entire New Testament and a great portion
of the Old. Our goal is to make God's word clear to the lost and
to teach God's people sound doctrine in order that they may grow.
