What it says it does
THE OVERALL PURPOSE OF THIS MINISTRY IS TO CARRY OUT THE GREAT COMMISSION FOUND IN MATTHEW 28:19-20, THROUGH BROADCASTING AND CYBERCASTING OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST AND THROUGH THE DISSEMINATION OF CHRISTIAN LITERATURE. THE WORD "BROADCAST" IS AN AGRICULTURAL TERM THAT MEANS TO SCATTER SEED INDISCRIMINATELY OVER A WIDE AREA. IT IS OUR JOY AND PRIVILEGE TO MAKE THE GOSPEL AVAILABLE TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE WHO CHOOSES TO LISTEN. WE SEEK THE SALVATION OF SOULS, THE BAPTISM OF BELIEVERS, AND THE GROWTH AND NURTURING OF CHRISTIANS. WE UNDERSTAND THAT IN AMERICA MOST LISTENERS ARE ALREADY CHRISTIANS. THEREFORE, WE FOCUS ON MOTIVATING OUR LISTENERS TO ACTIVELY PURSUE THE LOST, AND TO LIVE OUT THEIR FAITH ON A DAILY BASIS, THROUGH KJV BIBLE PREACHING AND TEACHING, AND OLD TIME GOSPEL MUSIC. WITH A YEAR-ROUND AVERAGE OF TWELVE HOURS OF RADIO BROADCASTING PER DAY AND 24-HOUR CYBERCASTING, WE FURTHER SEEK TO PROVIDE INTERESTING, INFORMATIVE, AND ENTERTAINING PROGRAMMING THAT WILL OFFER CHRISTI
