From President Charles Caudill

Throughout the world, there are constant threats of violence and political, religious and economic upheaval. Though trying times evoke common themes throughout all countries - isolation, despair, guilt, bitterness, denial - a more important theme is apparent. A search for meaning in life, for a relationship with God, a search to know His plan and will. It is our hope that, as people become reconciled with God, we may then see a reconciliation between humans, nations, the world.  

     World Christian Broadcasting, the organization that owns and operates station KNLS, was created as a response to that need. World Christian Broadcasting is a non-profit organization made up of concerned Christians whose sole purpose is to take God's Word to people who may have no other means of hearing the Good News.

     The message of God is relevant to all time. Yet how that message is received is ever-changing. To make a difference, the treatment and delivery of the message must be current. As the world continues to change, we at World Christian Broadcasting want to keep touching lives. Communicating through our international short wave radio station KNLS located at the top of the world in Anchor Point, Alaska, World Christian Broadcasting is expanding its scope to include communication through print media (newsletters, publications, books), video, audio cassette distribution and expanded English language services.

     Concentrating on highly populated areas such as China and Russia, the words of World Christian Broadcasting also reach into more remote regions such as Somoa, Tasmania, and the Solomon Islands, reaching thousands daily. By speaking in their own language, forming friendships, and creating a bond of trust, World Christian Broadcasting sparks hope, interest, and curiosity among listeners - awakening in them the desire to learn more about the promises of God.

     Our audience includes people from all walks of life, representing a variety of cultures. Our message, therefore, is designed to meet them on a level with which they feel most comfortable. We strive to introduce them to Christian concepts, then invite them on a quest to find purpose in life. Once a friendship is formed, we are then blessed with a unique opportunity to tell them "we have a Lord who is greater than any earthly friend, and here's how you can come to know Him, as we do."

     The exciting challenge before us is to continue to reach eager hearts with God's Word. Often deprived of freedom in Christianity, our audience has many questions and overwhelming heartfelt needs. We must continue to be their "Open Door" by offering that which they most yearn for - the Word of God. Ours is a challenging commitment, to present friendship to faces we cannot see, to answer the spiritual needs of their hearts. It is our hope that, through programming which encourages a search for meaning in life, spiritual reflection, cultural understanding and personal study of Christian evidences, they will hear, perhaps for the first time, and respond to the life-changing Good News of God.
