The extensive radio ministry of the International
Gospel Hour has become one of the most widely heard programs
on the air today. The direct approach of this program reflects
the biblical concept of evangelistic preaching. Not one moment
is given to the praise of man but rather a message of "Jesus
Christ and Him crucified." As we look forward to 2007, our
73rd year of gospel radio ministry, we want to add additional
stations that will carry the New Testament plea to more people.
We are praying our financial support will enable us to take advantage
of more time on America's great 50,000 Watt stations. With
your support, we will not have to cancel any of our broadcasts
on some of these great stations. Our support comes only from
churches and individuals interested in this great ministry to
preach the Gospel. Without your support our broadcast simply
cannot stay on the air. Please help us reach more people with
the truth of God's word.
(Editor's note: The article above was written
by brother Wallace E. Skipper just before he died of cancer on
October 18. He preached the gospel for 51 years. He worked closely
with the International Gospel Hour radio programs for 26 years
first, with V.E. Howard and, later, with Winford Claiborne. He
was the speaker on the "1 Gospel Minute" programs and
also served as General Manager. This work is under the oversight
of the elders of the West Fayetteville Church of Christ, Fayetteville,
TN. We remember brother Wallace when he preached for the Camden
Avenue Church of Christ in Parkersburg, WV, and we always looked
forward to seeing him at the International Gospel Hour display
at the F-HU lectures each year. We encourage individuals and congregations
to send donations to this good work. You may send them to International
Gospel Hour, P.O. Box 118, Fayetteville, TN 37334)
