HCJB World Radio changes name

For 75 years HCJB World Radio has been a leader in Christian radio, pioneering communicating the Gospel through radio around the world.

Over the 75 years HCJB World Radio diversified its work so that the 'World Radio' did not reflect the diversity of the mission. The HCJB health care ministry is now about 50-percent of their budget but is not represented in the old name

HCJB World Radio has now become HCJB Global with sub-brands of Global Voice and Global Hands.

Global Voice encompasses tradition radio - FM, AM, Short-wave, satellite distribution, internet technology, and other technology direct to home programming - and other mass-media technology.

Global Hands includes their hospitals and clinic and medical missions work in disaster areas.

The name change is also reported as reflecting an intentional change from doing the work themselves, to helping the national church.
