The Tide®

  The Tide® radio ministry  is celebrating 70 years of impacting people around the world with the good news of Jesus Christ, now offering programming in 23 languages. But that worldwide reach started from something very small.  “Reflecting on the past 70 years of  The Tide ministry , we marvel at the way God took a vision for a local radio ministry reaching one small town and transformed it into a global outreach that is bringing people around the world into relationship with Him,” said The Tide Director Don Shenk. “Discipleship activities and radio programs in 23 languages change thousands of lives. The song and saying is so true: ‘Little becomes much as you place it in the Master’s hand.’” Read More...

How many people do each of us walk by every day who do not know Jesus? The Tide® global radio ministry is encouraging Christians to share their faith with just 10 people over the next year. “Jesus expects all of His disciples to tell others about Him and His love for them, but too often we don’t make intentional efforts to do this,” said The Tide Director Don Shenk. “Through a presence at the ‘Stand Strong’ Tour and other Christian events, The Tide ministry is reminding people to speak up about Jesus, by urging them to accept our “Have You Heard?” challenge. Already, hundreds have signed up, promising to ask just 10 people over the next 12 months, ‘Do you know what Jesus has done for you?’ This simple question can open up a great conversation about Jesus and his free gift of salvation – a gift worth sharing this Christmas.” The Tide radio ministry is also working to bolster the Christian faith in young people by sponsoring the nationwide “ Stand Strong ” Tour with author and religi...

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...
