Offering for March 14, 2026

Adventist World Radio

Adventist World Radio (AWR) uses many forms of technology to reach people where they are, in their local dialect. From AWR’s shortwave towers in Guam to 2,000 radio stations around the world, these messages are broadcasting in more than 130 languages every day. And for those who aren’t in range of a radio station, AWR’s YouTube videos, ministry app, cell phone evangelism messages and tracts are ministering to millions.

In addition, solar-powered Godpods are reaching everyone from prisoners to shepherds! Recently, the head of a gang of thieves in Madagascar stole a Godpod, thinking it was a radio. He was shocked when, deep in their hideout in a cave, this “radio” seemed to get a signal. He and his men started listening to the Bible messages, and after connecting with a local Adventist church and studying the Bible, 33 former thieves were baptized into the Adventist Church.

In addition, over the last year, the ministry has made even more inroads in the Philippines as rebel soldiers continue to put down their guns and pick up Bibles . . . and many are even holding evangelistic meetings after getting baptized!

God predicted that one day we would be “utterly amazed” (Habakkuk 1:5, NIV) at what He would do—and we are!

Thank you for your support of Adventist World Radio.
