'Knowing God' Through The Radio
Supporting Bible teaching programmes through
‘Radio Voice of the Gospel’
in Oradea, Romania.
In March 1941 Peter Deyneka, the founder
of SGA, broadcast the first Russian Gospel
message from HCJB, Ecuador.
This reached the Russian communities in
USA first of all, and eventually reached
into Russia and beyond. Peter became convinced
that radio was a key instrument in penetrating
the Iron Curtain.
Over the years we in SGA (UK) have also
been convinced of this and for many years
have been involved in broadcasting behind
the Iron Curtain through our missionaries
who broadcast from Trans World Radio, Monte
Carlo.

When these lands eventually opened up,
it was only then that we became aware of
the impact the programmes had had on those
who had listened faithfully week-by-week.
Now, 60 years on, through Voice
of the Gospel, Romania, we are
sponsoring a programme called “Knowing
God” which is broadcast on Friday
mornings at 10.00am and repeated at 5.00pm,
each for fifty minutes. Its focus is on
the Old Testament with detailed studies
of themes and characters. This is a great
opportunity to get the Scriptures and the
Gospel into the homes of thousands.
Here are some of the responses
to these programmes:
From an Old Testament professor: “While
driving I was listening to ‘Knowing
God’ and I decided to go right away
to the headquarters of the radio and I ordered
the entire series of programmes which helps
me to prepare my courses. The programme
offers a wide perspective over the books
of the Old Testament and it can be an excellent
guideline for pastors, teachers and spiritual
counsellors.”
From a pastor: “I consider it
my duty to serve well so that the Gospel
of Jesus may spread. I have no theological
education. I know only what I studied from
books and the Holy Scriptures. But now it
is quite difficult for me to read since
I can’t see very well, but I am full
of joy since I can listen to the programmes
broadcast by Radio Voice of the Gospel that
teaches us the Bible. The programme is a
real inspiration and helps me prepare my
sermons.”
From a retired man: “I found
the programme very useful to me. I am confined
to bed for years … and this programme
encouraged me.”
From a teacher in a disabled school: “I
have a keen interest in listening to this
programme, to grow in faith as well as to
discover new topics that I could present
to the kids in class. The issues are easy
to explain and up-to-date. May God give
you wisdom and strength to continue this
programme.”
