“World Christian Broadcasting is a God granted and blessed opportunity to carry out the Great Commission given to us by Jesus. One of my greatest spiritual feelings was standing underneath the enormous towers that support the antennas from which the world can hear the good news. It is estimated that our programmed broadcasts now have the capability of being heard by 90 per cent of the world’s population. Is there a better way for sowing the seeds of the gospel?”
