Help Complete Great Commission

According to Back to the Bible International, as reported by Mission Network News, two-thirds of the world's people prefer oral over written communication.

The reason for this is not certain, perhaps because of illiteracy or cultural conditioning - but it means that radio is the perfect way to convey the Bible's message to four billion people.

Add to the above the fact that there are an increasing number of intolerant countries in the world, where Christians are not allowed, may be persecuted or where there is no freedom to talk about the Gospel of Jesus - it is clear that radio, in it's many forms, is once again becoming a critical medium for proclamation of the Gospel and fellowship with believers.

That's why support is needed from the Christian community for organisations like Back to the Bible, whose broadcasts. are beamed into places like China and the Middle East to reach large numbers of oral learners. Back to the Bible has also helped in the construction of radio stations in Africa and Indonesia which will carry God's Word to those who can't read it.

Support is needed for organisations like OMS and Men for Missions whose radio station 4VEH in Haiti is making a real difference in a troubled country.

And, closer to home, support is needed for new community based radio stations like Revival Radio which will take to the air in 2006.
