| TWR Guam |
For nearly 50 years, TWR has been proclaiming the gospel and teaching the Bible to the vast populations of Asia from our powerful shortwave station on Guam. On this side of eternity, it’s impossible to assess the impact KTWR has had on lives in China, North Korea, India, Myanmar, Vietnam and elsewhere across the region.
As valuable as the Guam station has been to TWR’s ministry, we have faced many challenges there in recent years, from the high cost of living on the island to the unsustainable workload for overstretched staff members to the continual toll on equipment. Another pressing concern involves our aging transmitters, which are becoming more susceptible to unforeseen, catastrophic failures. We don’t believe raising the funds to replace this costly equipment would be wise stewardship of resources needed in other areas of ministry.
After months of intense prayer, study and discussion, TWR’s global leadership unanimously decided to wind down operations and end broadcasts on Guam by Oct. 31, 2025. It's important to emphasize two vital points regarding this tough but necessary course of action.
