First we locate Christian immigrants who are already fluent in the languages of the people we desire to reach. They're also eager for an opportunity to reach their own people. Then we train our team of national Christian workers in the use of the basic studio equipment needed to record gospel radio programs and in the necessary elements of programming. We also train them how to follow-up inquiries, answer questions and administer Bible studies.
When this is all in place and a sufficient number of radio programs have been prepared, we find one or more transmitters which can effectively target the needy country [or people group] in question and then get a contract for airtime on the transmitters. Then we begin to broadcast those programs there. A post office box is set up in an acceptable city and our trained national workers follow-up on the letters that come in response to the programs.
Failsafe and monitoring systems are set up to ensure the ongoing quality, effectiveness and doctrinal purity of the programs that are broadcast. Through these systems we keep a regular check on the work.
When it's all operating smoothly in one language, we move on to another. In this way we touch the lives of millions of people in countries we can't enter as missionaries and whose languages we can't speak.
We've recently adapted this same strategy to create evangelistic television programs and internet pages to reach the people of the Middle East and beyond with the gospel.
