VOICE OF HOPE radio station now broadcasting to the Middle East
SEA OF GALILEE, Israel,
March 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The
state of Israel, in an
unprecedented decision, has allocated a radio broadcast frequency
to an American Christian evangelical radio network that will
broadcast messages of hope and peace to the people in Syria, Lebanon, Cyprus and Jordan and expanded night-time coverage into
Turkey and Egypt. This is
the first time a Christian broadcast frequency has been granted in
Israel and the first domestic
radio station with international purpose.
The VOICE OF HOPE – AM 1287 broadcasts in Arabic and some
English to the Arab population, much of which is in a dire
situation in the countries surrounding Israel and who are under religious persecution
in Syria.
The radio station is a continuation of the VOICE OF HOPE, which
was established in 1979 by Christian businessman George Otis, and which broadcast until
2000. The new VOICE OF HOPE is owned and operated by
Strategic Communications Group, a global Christian Evangelical
radio network with radio stations reaching Latin America and Africa.
"I am excited that this powerful Christian radio station was
licensed by the State of Israel to
deliver a message of hope and encouragement to the people of the
Middle East. The Voice of Hope is established in support of
Christians of the Middle East and
is a gift of love from Christians in the
United States and Canada."
- John Tayloe, Founder and
President.
The VOICE OF HOPE was inaugurated this week in the presence of
Israel's Minister of
Communication, Tzachi Hanegbi who said, "This radio station
exemplifies the deep connection and unique bond that Israel has with the American people and
between Jews and Christians. We are certain that the message
of hope that will be brought by the station will be an uplifting
tool and a benefit to our neighbors. The State of Israel supports any message of peace
to the people in neighboring countries and this is why we decided
to support the reestablishment of the Voice of Hope."
The VOICE OF HOPE broadcast studios are located on the shore of
the Sea of Galilee, Israel. The programming will include
Christian Arabic presenters, Arabic Christian music, news,
education, drama and inspirational messages.
