Great News from

World Christian Broadcasting

As of Sunday, March 27, 2016, at 1:00 PM Central Standard Time, Daily Broadcasts Will Begin From Madagascar: The En-tire World Will Be Covered With WCB Gospel Broadcasts It is with excitement, humility and great anticipation that I announce to you the news that the new radio station in Mada-gascar has gone on the air. This station will take the gospel to areas of the world where the gospel has not gone for hun-dreds of years. The Alaska broadcasts will now join with the broadcasts from Madagascar to blanket the former Soviet Union, China, Australia, India, The Middle East, Africa and South America and literally the entire world.

Twenty hours of programming go out each day from Alas-ka. Ten hours of Mandarin Chinese, five hours of Russian and five hours of English are broadcast every day. Every week from three Spanish radio stations, the greater part of Cuba and Latin America have been covered over the last few years.

From Madagascar, Arabic programs will cover the entire Mid-dle East. English-for-Africa programs will have the gospel available for all of Africa. Spanish broadcasts will now cover all of South America every day with the gospel.

To God be the glory for this incredible opportunity to have the gospel available to more people each day than at any time in the history of the world. Rejoice with us in humble prayer and thanksgiving.
