About This Week Series
Dr. Ankerberg
Have you ever considered what it would feel like to hear the gospel for the very first time—spoken in your native language?
That’s what happened recently in South Asia. A woman listened to the Proclaimer as the words of Jesus rang out in her heart language. Tears streamed down her face. She looked up and said,
“I never imagined Jesus would speak my language. Now I believe He knows me.”
This moment is just one of thousands made possible by friends like you.
You’re helping us reach the unreached in the way they can understand and respond: by hearing God’s Word.
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.
