Last year The Tide Board of Directors, seeking to build on the momentum of over six decades of radio ministry, set an aggressive goal to introduce evangelistic radio programs in 15 additional languages by the year 2015. This new campaign, which has been named The Tide Vision 2015, will require the addition of approximately four new heart language programs each year over the next four years. With almost a quarter of the world’s population living within the current range of The Tide radio ministry, and over 6,900 languages spoken in the world today, the opportunities are great. Much of 2011 was spent investigating and prioritizing various options, and laying out a strategy for The Tide ministry to reach even more people for Christ. As a result 10 potential languages have already been identified to reach people groups in Bhutan, Malawi, Mozambique, and Nigeria. As The Tide works towards implementing radio ministries in these 10 languages the process of selecting another five continues. Presently, more tribal languages in India are under consideration as well as opportunities in Thailand and Pakistan.

The Tide® Global Radio Ministry Working to Reach People of India Through Telugu Language

The Tide® global radio ministry has been working in India for almost 40 years, and currently produces Christian radio programs in seven languages there. However, there are still many more people to reach with the messages of Jesus Christ.

“The Tide ministry recently unveiled its 2016 expansion goals,” said The Tide Director Don Shenk. “And one of those important goals is to initiate a radio program in the Telugu language, spoken by 74 million people in India. While a church group is working to plant churches among the Telugu people in remote villages, The Tide ministry hopes to assist them with a Christian radio broadcast in their own language so they can hear the saving message of Jesus Christ in the language they were born to speak.” Read More

Albanian Listener Never Misses The Tide Radio Ministry's Program

Earlier this year, The Tide® global radio ministry launched its first Albanian-language Gospel radio program, and now more growth is underway. Already, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is making an impact in this predominantly Muslim nation. “Without The Tide ministry’s programs, people in Albania and neighboring Kosovo may have never heard about God and his love,” said The Tide Director Don Shenk. “We are so thankful that people are writing to us about how they are being touched by Jesus and His saving power. While The Tide’s one program in Albania airs two days a week, the ministry’s goal for 2016 is to air its two other Albanian-language programs a second day each week as well. This will potentially increase the number of people who tune in and hear the Gospel message!” Read More...
