Whether you have been a part of the ministry for many years or are new to it, Back to God Ministries International is asking people to join in celebrating God’s faithfulness as the media ministry of the Christian Reformed Church marks its 75th anniversary this year.

Various events will take place and materials will be available to help churches and others take part in the celebration.

On December 17, 1939 Back to God Ministries International began media ministry with one radio broadcast on one station in one North American city.

“Since Back to God Ministries International started 75 years ago, our mission has been to proclaim that Jesus is Lord, to help those who want to follow Jesus know him better, and to strengthen the church,” says an introduction  to the ministry’s special 75th Anniversary webpage.

The webpage offers stories about the ministry as well as gives people a chance to share how they have been touched by the ministry over the years.

In addition, there is a timeline to see how God has used this ministry over the past 75 years to share the Gospel worldwide, expanding into 10 languages and using every form of media available to proclaim the Good News and bring people to faith in Christ.

Items addressed in the timeline include:

  • How did the vision for media ministry begin?
  • When did the ministry expand to reach international audiences?
  • What changed in media ministry when the Internet became available?
