What We Do

Dr. McGee was an active participant in this radio ministry for 47 exciting years. When his health began to fail, plans were made in advance to decide how the program would continue in the event of his homegoing. The message would remain the same and the "voice" of Thru the Bible Radio would continue to be Dr. McGee, through the use of the taped 5-year program.

After our Savior called Dr. McGee home in December of 1988, the program's reach continued to grow. Today, Thru the Bible is a worldwide ministry airing on over 800 stations in the U.S. and Canada, and heard in more than 100 languages and dialects around the world. Our mission is simple and the same one Dr. McGee himself embraced: To take the whole Word to the whole world.

The continued success of this ministry, even after the death of its founder, gives testimony to God's abundant blessings. The work is supported entirely by the fervent prayers and faithful giving of our wonderful listeners, and we plan to keep sending the Word out as long as God allows. Our theme verse is Revelation 3:8–"I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name." We pray now more than ever that God will continue to guide us through those open doors until the Lord Jesus comes!

"One day I switched on my radio and, all of a sudden, I heard your program. It moved my heart to believe that God exists…." (from a Hindi listener in India)

God has not put most of us in an exotic, faraway place. Perhaps, like Moses, you don't even feel able to speak about the Bible within your own familiar surroundings. Radio and Internet broadcasting can give you a voice as you tell others about Thru the Bible. It can leap across the sea, over high mountains, into the midst of troubled nations. It can go into the quiet of a house church in China or into the most remote areas of Africa and India where whole villages listen together. We have the privilege of being missionaries together–using the powerful tools of radio and Internet.

How You Can Help

1. Please pray for us. We have staff and ministry partners all over the world who rely on the prayer support of people like you who have a heart for sharing God's Word, not only with your friends and neighbors, but with those living in darkness at the farthest corners of the globe.

2. The worldwide work of Thru the Bible is supported entirely by the gifts of our generous and faithful listeners. Approximately $12.5 million was invested in foreign-language broadcasts over the last year. Although listeners in other lands do contribute as they are able, the cost of these programs is largely covered by our listeners in North America. Years ago, Dr. McGee decided never to beg or hound our listeners for money, and we still hold to that policy. We simply let you know of the need and rely on the Holy Spirit to speak to the hearts of those who are then moved to give. If you're so led, you may make an online gift to the ministry or call us at 1-800-65-BIBLE.
