Giving Tuesday: Be a Part of Reaching the World
Global Radio Outreach: Sharing Jesus with the Muslim World
In many countries today, it is hard or even dangerous to talk about Jesus. But God is opening new ways for His message to reach people who have never heard about Him. One of those ways is through Global Radio Outreach (GRO), a ministry that uses radio and the internet to share the love of Christ with Muslims around the world.
How It All Began
The story of GRO started with one man’s calling. While working as a missionary in Papua New Guinea, Mike Bond felt God put a deep love for Muslims in his heart. He saw how many Muslims around the world had never had a chance to hear about Jesus.
When Mike returned to the United States in 1991, he followed God’s direction and started Global Radio Outreach. His idea was simple but powerful, to use radio to reach Muslim countries that are closed to Christian missionaries.
GRO began by training Muslim Background Believers (MBBs), men and women who had once been Muslims but had come to know Jesus, to record Christian radio programs in their own languages. These programs were then broadcast back into their home countries. Through radio, the message of Jesus could go where missionaries could not.
Growing Through Technology
As the years went on, GRO saw new opportunities through modern technology. In 2012, God gave them a bigger vision, to use not only radio but also the internet to reach even more people.
The team created a special blogging system that allows people to build websites in any language. These websites can include streaming radio stations that share Christian messages, music, and stories 24 hours a day.
Today, GRO has more than 10 radio stations and in excess of 9 active blogs, with 5 more getting ready to launch soon. Each one reaches into a different country or region where people are searching for truth and hope.
The Work in Bangladesh and Other Muslim Nations
One country where GRO’s impact is growing is Bangladesh. It is one of the most crowded countries in the world, and almost everyone there is Muslim. Talking about Jesus can be very risky.
Still, God is working through local believers who are connected with GRO. They are augmenting house churches, writing online articles, and sharing about Jesus with others carefully and wisely. The internet and radio have become safe tools to tell people about God’s love.
GRO also helps these workers by giving training, guidance, and sometimes financial support so they can keep doing God’s work even in hard situations. Through this partnership, people in Bangladesh and other Muslim countries are hearing the Gospel for the first time.
Working Together for the Gospel
What makes GRO special is that they don’t just send outsiders into Muslim countries. Instead, they equip local believers who already live there or come from those cultures. These believers know the language, understand the people, and can share their faith in ways that connect deeply.
But this work takes resources. Each radio station, blog, and online program needs equipment, internet space, and workers to keep it going. That’s why GRO invites Christians around the world to join them in this mission, through prayer, encouragement, and giving.
When you give to GRO, you are not just donating money. You are helping spread the message of Jesus to people who may have never heard it before. You are helping believers stay strong in faith and continue their ministry in places where following Christ is not easy.
Be Part of the Story
More than 1.9 billion Muslims live in the world today, and many of them have never heard the true story of Jesus. Global Radio Outreach is helping to change that, one broadcast, one website, and one life at a time.
Every day, people in closed countries are hearing the Gospel through radio programs and online blogs created by believers like you and me. Some are finding peace for the first time. Others are quietly choosing to follow Christ.
On Giving Tuesday, you can help this mission continue. To learn more or to give, visit www.globalradiooutreach.org/give.
Together, we can help Global Radio Outreach reach more Muslims as well as other unreached people groups, with the message of Jesus’ love, until every heart has a chance to hear His name.
Amen,
Gabriel
