Just the fact that you're broadcasting the Gospel to someone doesn't necessarily mean that you're ministering to them. There are 6,200 languages in the world. And we don't all speak one another's language. At GRO we look forward to the day when every Middle Eastern based group will be able to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ, via radio, in their own language or at least one that they can understand. Our goal is to expand our programming at the rate of one new language per year and increase that rate as time passes.
