In country after country we are bringing you stories of people who are willing to go, and people who are eager to hear God’s Word, spoken to them in their own language. But even more than that, we are hearing compelling stories of how God’s Word has transformed the lives of families, villages, and entire regions.
Dr. Ankerberg never set out to launch the world’s most-watched Christian apologetics television program...
As a speaker and evangelist, Dr. Ankerberg spoke on university campuses, at churches, conferences, and other events. While speaking at a Youth for Christ summer camp, he was first asked to host a Kansas City Christian television program. Structuring the program with a debate-format, the show quickly caught the attention of other networks. After moving to Chattanooga, Tennessee to serve another media ministry, The John Ankerberg Show was picked up on CBN, a new network that soon expanded nationwide. Within a short time, Dr. Ankerberg’s side project quickly became a full-time ministry in 1980, renting office space and studio time to produce additional programs.
