What a great question to ask and an even more exciting one to answer! For over sixty years now, CBH, Christians Broadcasting Hope, has been taking a message of hope around the world in the name of Jesus Christ. Few periods of time in that history can match the forward progress that this vital, hope-filled ministry will see over the next twelve months. You can be a part of these historic days in many different ways. Interested in life-changing ministry around the world? Read on!

It has been my privilege to visit more than fifty countries in this world. I have stood in the shadows of the Eiffel Tower and on the Great Wall of China. I have watched the sunrise over the Taj Mahal and climbed to the feet of the famed statue of Christ the Redeemer overlooking Rio de Janeiro. From the spectacle of the African savannah to the sweep of Alaska’s wilderness, I have been moved by the grandeur of God’s creation. But in the whole wide world, there really is nothing like a glimpse of Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives or the feel of a breeze sweeping up the hillside from the Sea of Galilee.

After finishing up the studio on Friday we ended the week by heading back to Abidjan to prepare for the trip home. We spent the night at a hotel on the beach in Grand Bassam, the colonial capital of Cote D’Ivoire, and did some shopping in the area on Sunday.

On January 31, a CBH Eye on the World Ministry Team will head to Côte d’Ivoire, West Africa, to continue the progress toward launching a new French radio broadcast in the fall of 2008. This new French effort will allow CBH to begin reaching out to the more than twenty-two French-speaking countries on the continent of Africa.

Each year Christians Broadcasting Hope (CBH) joins with the Church of God in East Central India to sponsor a number of Seekers Conferences. CBH produces both its Hindi and Oriya broadcasts here from our ministry site in the state of Orissa. Throughout the year, various contacts and relationships are developed with people who make contact with us in response to the radio broadcasts, and other means.

Radio remains, nearly one hundred years after it was first introduced, the world’s most accessible medium. Yes, television is compelling, with its combination of both sight and sound. And yes, the Internet is making the world smaller, with its endless array of Web sites and interactive possibilities. Print media and motion pictures hold their own. But more billions (that’s not a typo—yes, billions) of people can tune into a radio broadcast than can be touched by any other form of mass media.

In recent years, a feature of the convention has been live tapings of ViewPoint, the English-language program of Christians Broadcasting Hope (CBH), hosted by Jim Lyon, pastor of Madison Park Church of God, Anderson, Indiana.
