Adventist World Radio (AWR) uses many forms of technology to reach people where they are, in their local dialect. From AWR’s shortwave towers in Guam to 1,800 radio stations around the world, these messages are broadcasting in more than 130 languages every day. And for those who aren’t in range of a radio station, AWR’s YouTube videos and ministry app are ministering to millions.

In addition, solar-powered Godpods are reaching everyone from prisoners to shepherds! And the ministry’s semi-truck in Ukraine is both meeting needs in the community and broadcasting Bible-based messages of hope wherever it goes. 

Recently, the ministry tried something unique in Ghana. After renting airtime on 10 radio stations near the Sahara Desert, AWR started sharing the good news of the gospel over marketplace loudspeakers in 12 cities. AWR also paired this with a “Question of the Day,” where callers were invited to receive a prize (such as a copy of the book The Great Controversy) by answering a question about the prior day’s broadcast.

The results have already been astounding. In the last six months, more than 10,000 people have been baptized, with approximately 5,000 from the market loudspeakers alone. God predicted that one day we would be “utterly amazed” (Habakkuk 1:5, NIV) at what He would do—and we are!

Thank you for your support of Adventist World Radio.

Radio Mundial Adventista

La Radio Mundial Adventista tiene diversas formas de tecnología para llegar a la gente, utilizando su dialecto local. Esos mensajes se emiten a diario en más de 130 idiomas, desde las torres de onda corta que la radio posee en Guam, y llegan hasta 1800 emisoras de radio en todo el mundo. Para los lugares que no están al alcance de una emisora de radio, los vídeos en YouTube y la aplicación de este medio están predicando a millones de personas.

Por su parte, las radios solares Godpods están logrando alcanzar a todo el mundo, ¡desde presos, hasta agricultores! Y en Ucrania un semirremolque responde a las necesidades de la comunidad y transmite mensajes de esperanza, por donde pasa con su radio en movimiento.

Recientemente, se intentó algo nuevo en Ghana. Alquilaron tiempo de antena de 10 emisoras de radio cercanas al desierto de Sahara y empezaron a compartir las buenas nuevas del Evangelio por los altavoces de los supermercados de 12 ciudades. Combinaron esta iniciativa con una “pregunta del día”, en la que se invitaba a los radioyentes a recibir un premio (como un ejemplar del libro El Conflicto de los Siglos) al responder a una pregunta sobre la emisión del día anterior.

Los resultados ya han sido asombrosos. En los últimos seis meses, más de 10.000 personas fueron bautizadas, aproximadamente la mitad de ellos, gracias a los altavoces de los supermercados. Dios predijo que un día estaríamos “completamente asombrados” (Habacuc 1: 5, NVI) de lo que Él haría, ¡y realmente esto es para asombrarnos!

Gracias por su apoyo a la Radio Mundial Adventista.
