Hope finds its way to eager listeners throughout India

Trans World Radio began broadcasting in five Indian languages in 1978 from a single AM-station with a 400,000-watt transmitter, reports MNN.

For three decades, the ministry has made sharing the hope of Christ its primary commitment while working to meet the spiritual, educational, social and cultural needs of its audience through 380 programs broadcast.

Today, the ministry has grown to 62 languages reaching out via shortwave, AM, FM, as well as podcasting, television audio feed and Internet audio streaming. Listener response varies from 30,000 to 60,000 each month.

To mark the 30-year milestone, TWR-India is organizing national listener rallies, clergy development meetings, women's meetings, musical events and more interactive programs across the country.

According to TWR, the ministry team is also involved in many on-the-ground personal outreaches. They sponsor five children from a boys' home in New Delhi and partner with a local church and the City Care Network to distribute wheelchairs to those in need in Hyderabad.
