Evangelistic Radio Show Finds Eager Ears Among Saved, Unsaved Audiences

(AgapePress) - - A ministry that teaches Christians the art of biblical evangelism through a television show and a website is now finding an even larger audience through its latest extension -- a radio program launched earlier this year. Each week "The Way of the Master" television program, a 30-minute show hosted by evangelist Ray Comfort and actor-evangelist Kirk Cameron, airs in more than 100 nations. The show's aim is to teach Christians to share their faith using scripture to help lost people recognize their sinfulness and their need for a Savior.
In January, "The Way of the Master" began airing on radio. Joel Anderson, producer of the radio program, says the audio incarnation of this Christian witnessing how-to program has already touched many lives.
"Every day we get over 100 e-mails from people who are listening, and from two segments," Anderson notes. One segment is comprised of people who were not saved when they initially tuned in, he says, but who have listened to the show, "they've heard the gospel soundly preached and taught, and they got saved."
The other group, the radio producer adds, is made up of believers who listen to the show. These Christians are convicted and "really convinced that they need to get out there and share their faith," he says, "and we equip them through the radio show."
"The Way of the Master" radio show is a live, two-hour broadcast, and Anderson says it is in many ways unique. "If anybody has ever seen the TV series," he notes, "it's really taking the TV to a daily radio show, where we get on the streets, share faith with Muslims, college students, your next-door neighbor, even pulling names out of a phone book and witnessing live over the phone."
The broadcast's spokesman says "The Way of the Master" radio show is dedicated to "equipping believers to biblically share their faith using ... moral law, the Ten Commandments, to work the conscience and to break through that pride that many people exhibit."
"Way of the Master Radio" is available on land-based stations, satellite radio, and also on podcast. The broadcast has already demonstrated a tremendous impact on saved and unsaved listeners alike, and Anderson believes its outreach will continue to expand as it helps more and more listeners discover how to share in and extend to others the love of Christ.
