Ministry Description
TWR is the world's most far-reaching Christian radio network in the world. Programs in over 225 languages and dialects are aired from more than 2,000 outlets around the world, including 14 international broadcasting locations, as well as local medium wave (AM), shortwave, long wave and FM radio stations, direct-to-listener satellite broadcasts, cable audio systems and the Internet. Every day, TWR's broadcasts reach millions in over 160 countries.

ServantMatch™
Reaching across barriers of darkness, fear and hopelessness, TWR is engaging people of West Africa with breakthrough radio programs that bring peace to a potential audience of more than 190 million. Relevant, culturally sensitive programs bring hope to the seeker, encouragement to the new believer and training for the seasoned Christian.
TWR’s Berber Ministry broadcasts specific programs for North Africa, using major Berber languages (Kabyle, Tamazight and Tarifit) specifically to reach listeners in their heart language. Each audience has its own special characteristics and needs, which also correspond with TWR's Global Strategic Plan initiatives.
Since 1977, God has blessed the Asia region with lasting fruit because of TWR's broadcasts from the island of Guam. Thirty-three years later, TWR-Guam is still utilizing the same four, 100-kilowatt shortwave transmitters. This equipment has exceeded expectations, but repairs are becoming more difficult as parts for the outdated transmitters become harder to locate and afford.
Imagine a Kingdom tool that leverages 21st century technology to revolutionize the manner in which ministries are empowered to deliver their message to a global audience. TWR is working to unveil a digital technology platform known as Media Asset Management (MAM) that will allow access to a global, electronic storehouse of biblical content.
TWR’s vital Spanish radio production center in Montevideo, Uruguay, is cramped and in dire need of space to expand. The ministry's Uruguayan partner prepares Spanish program blocks to air from TWR’s station on Bonaire for Venezuela and Cuba, as well as the station in Montevideo, which reaches all of Uruguay and the most heavily populated part of Argentina.
