Adventist World Radio
Adventist World Radio (AWR) is the official international broadcasting service and mission radio arm of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Based in the United States, AWR is a non-profit organization which aims to use radio broadcasts as the primary means to share the teachings of Jesus to unreached people groups worldwide which are inaccessible to traditional missionaries. AWR hopes to eventually broadcast in over 200 languages identified as critically important for effective evangelism. In addition to AM, FM, and SW (shortwave) radio broadcasts, AWR also utilizes podcasts, social media, Godpods, and in-person evangelism efforts.
In 1969, the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists established a committee to explore the feasibility of establishing a worldwide shortwave broadcasting service. The proposal had been suggested by several individuals, including H.M.S. Richards, Sr., the founder of the Voice of Prophecy radio program.
Prior to this initiative, the church had been broadcasting into Europe from a commercial station located in Tangier. However, this station ceased operations following a change in the Moroccan government, and the transmitter was relocated. The station's owner subsequently planned to construct a larger and more advanced broadcasting facility in Portugal and extended an invitation to the General Conference to utilize the new station once it was operational. By 1969, construction of this station was underway, with broadcasts expected to commence in the fall of 1970. This development served as the catalyst for the General Conference Communication Department (formerly known as Radio/TV) to initiate the concept that would later become Adventist World Radio. Adrian Peterson was the one who proposed the AWR name to Walter Scragg.
From its first broadcast on October 1, 1971, AWR has aired programs to unreached people groups around the world in their native languages. This chronological overview highlights key events, milestones, and developments in the history of AWR.
Based on the March 30 to October 25, 2025 Program Schedule, AWR broadcasts content in various languages through local radio stations and podcasts.
