A VOICETHAT REACHESWHERE OTHERSCANNOT.
Two stations. Eight languages. Fifty years of shortwave radio carrying the gospel into 52 countries where the Bible is restricted, jammed, or outlawed.
A signal you can't jam.
Where the Bible is restricted, jammed, or outlawed
Produced by native speakers, every voice authentic
Continuous shortwave service since incorporation in 1976
WHAT
DOES
SILENCE
COST?
In 13 countries the Bible is illegal. In 15 more it is dangerous to read. In 24 it is nearly impossible to find.
Missionaries can be expelled. Internet can be filtered. Bibles can be confiscated. But a shortwave signal travels thousands of miles through the ionosphere — untraceable, unblockable, unforgettable.
WHAT IS SHORTWAVE?
Shortwave radio operates between 3 and 30 MHz — frequencies that bounce off the ionosphere and travel thousands of miles without satellites, cell towers, or internet infrastructure. A listener needs nothing more than a $10 portable radio. Unlike the internet, shortwave cannot be traced to the listener. Unlike a Bible, it cannot be confiscated at a checkpoint. Unlike a missionary, it cannot be deported. The signal simply arrives — invisible, unstoppable, and free.
Voices we reach.
Four moments in a single global signal — from studio mic to a hand on a dial half a world away.
EIGHT LANGUAGES.

Every program is produced by native speakers — not translators, not AI. Each voice carries the accent, the idiom, the warmth of home.

How a radio wave crosses a closed border.
Three steps. No internet. No infrastructure on the receiving end except a $10 radio.
Programs are produced
Native-speaker hosts record gospel teaching, music, and listener stories in eight target languages from our studios in Franklin, Tennessee.
Signals are transmitted
Programs travel by satellite to KNLS in Anchor Point, Alaska and MWV in Mahajanga, Madagascar — two of the most powerful shortwave stations on Earth.
Borders disappear
Shortwave bounces off the ionosphere and lands in living rooms across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East — past every firewall, beyond every checkpoint.
The signal lands.
Lives change.
Letters and calls received this year from countries where speaking of Christ is a crime.
I found your program by accident on my radio. Now I listen every night. I have never held a Bible, but through your broadcast, I feel I know it.
In my country, we cannot speak openly about faith. Your radio signal is the only way I can hear these words. Thank you for not forgetting us.
"Faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ." — Romans 10:17
TWO STATIONS.
TWO HEMISPHERES.
Located at the westernmost point of the Alaska highway system, KNLS targets Asia and the Pacific Rim. Its antennas beam programming in Chinese, Russian, Korean, and English across the Pacific Ocean, reaching listeners from Vladivostok to Jakarta.
Built on the northwest coast of Madagascar, MWV covers an enormous swath of Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia. Its transmitters reach Arabic, Portuguese, Spanish, and African-language listeners across three continents.
Five decades of faithful transmission.
FUND
THE
SIGNAL.
Every dollar keeps the transmitter running. Every gift is a sentence of scripture a listener will hear tonight in a country where it cannot be printed.
