HCJB Global Becomes Reach Beyond—a New Name and a New Call to Christians Worldwide

Reach Beyond’s Mission Manifesto articulates renewed passion and purpose in fulfilling the 82-year-old ministry’s efforts to reach the un reached


COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.  – HCJB Global announced today that the 82-year-old ministry, founded in Quito, Ecuador is changing its name to Reach Beyond.  The new name and the release of the Reach Beyond Mission Manifesto are intended to encourage and challenge Christians worldwide to reach beyond their comfort zones and perceived limitations to share the love of Jesus in places where the gospel has seldom, if ever been heard.

The mission is defined by the tagline, “The Voice and Hands of Jesus.  Together.”  Through its “voice” ministries, the mission works with partners to use radio and modern media to make the gospel accessible in places where it typically isn’t available.

The “hands” ministries of the mission provide much-needed healthcare service in places where even common medical help isn’t readily available.  Reach Beyond “hands” ministries takes many forms including mobile community healthcare clinics, counseling centers in war torn areas, clean water projects and general hygiene training, all with an emphasis on demonstrating the love of Jesus to recipients of the care.

Reach Beyond also values partnership with local Christians, churches and ministry partners as its core way of operating, signified by the word “together” in its tagline.

“For more than 80 years our missionaries and partners have boldly been going to places where people have never had the opportunity to experience the love of God,” said Wayne Pederson, President and CEO of Reach Beyond.  “But now is the time to accelerate and multiply those efforts.  Through the use of modern media and healthcare we work arm in arm with partners to show people that a relationship with Jesus Christ can change their lives forever.”

The “Reach Beyond Manifesto” challenges believers to reach beyond borders and their own comfort level in an effort to accomplish the Great Commission. It serves as a declaration for how the renamed Reach Beyond wants to invest its time and efforts in making Christ known to the ends of the earth. It’s also a call — and a challenge — for other Christians to recommit themselves to the same effort.

To read and sign the Manifesto, visit www.reachbeyond.org.

 “With all the technology, knowledge and experience available to us today, there is no reason why we can’t make Christ known to everyone on the planet,” said Pederson. “We hope the ‘Reach Beyond Manifesto’ causes all like-minded Christians to renew their commitment to demonstrate God’s love as His ‘voice’ and ‘hands.’”

Founded in 1931 as World Radio Missionary Fellowship Inc., Reach Beyond has focused on making disciples of Christ around the world. With ministries in more than 100 countries, Reach Beyond equips partners to air Christian content in more than 120 languages and dialects. The name change also reflects the ministry’s ongoing international focus and commitment to reach areas where less than 2 percent of the population is Christian.

“Adaptability has always been a strength of the mission,” said Curt Cole, Executive Vice President of International Ministries.  “When the best model was to own a large hospital or broadcast over shortwave radio, the mission leveraged those strengths.  Today, technology and the world are changing, and we are adapting.  That’s why we place such a high premium on partnerships with local Christians.  They know their own culture and needs far better than we do.  If the need is for a small, community healthcare clinic or a local FM radio station, we’re committed to equipping the people with all the resources they need to reach their own people in their own culture.”

HCJB Global’s “Beyond the Call” radio program, on more than 1,000 stations around the U.S., will now be called “Reach Beyond.”

“The new name is much more than a brand change,” Pederson said. “Reach Beyond is a reflection of our ministry DNA. It’s about doing whatever is necessary to reach those who have never heard the name of Jesus. In essence, it’s a call to Christians to reach beyond their comfort zones and challenges them to actively participate in making Christ known among the nations.”

The organization hopes the “Reach Beyond Manifesto” will serve as a call to action for Christians to focus their attention and efforts on those areas of the world where Christ has yet to be proclaimed.

“We hear it every generation, but perhaps it’s more true now than ever,” Pederson said. “We are at a pivotal time in our history. We have the means and ability to spread the message of Jesus to everyone who is alive today. We can accomplish this by renewing our commitment and reorganizing our priorities. Reach Beyond wants to be on the forefront of this new gospel era and encourage others to join us in making Christ known in every country, city, village and community around the globe.”

For 82 years the passion of Reach Beyond (formerly HCJB Global) (www.reachbeyond.org) has been to make disciples of Christ. Using mass media, healthcare and partnership around the world, HCJB Global has ministries in more than 100 countries. The gospel is aired in more than 120 languages and dialects. Thousands of healthcare patients are meeting Jesus. Local believers are being trained as missionaries, pastors, broadcasters and healthcare providers.

Reach Beyond Frequently Asked Questions:

What is HCJB Global doing related to its name?
After many years of operating as HCJB in various forms, the ministry has changed its name to Reach Beyond.  Our mission has changed from being an Ecuador-centric mission to being a global, partnership driven ministry.  This expansion of our ministry has opened a door to cast a fresh expression of our vision under a new name as we reach out in the 21st century, providing hope through the message of Jesus Christ and physical care in His name.

Why would HCJB Global change its name after so many years?
Originally founded as World Radio Missionary Fellowship, the mission adopted the name HCJB World Radio and later, HCJB Global to refer people back to the call letters of our flagship station in Quito, Ecuador.  Over the years, the letters HCJB became synonymous with the ministry in Latin America.  However, as a growing global ministry, those letters no longer mean anything to people who do not know us.  Further, as we share our vision for the future, using a name that has little meaning actually hinders the effective communication of who we are and what we do.  Simply put, now is the time to cast our vision under a fresh identity.

Why “Reach Beyond?”
Reach Beyond is a ministry founded on core objectives that we call, “Global Ends.”  These objectives outline our mission to reach the unreached and under-engaged with the Good News of Jesus Christ through modern media and community healthcare.  The call of Christ on every believer is to reach out to those who don’t know Him.  To reach “beyond” is a challenge to everyone to go outside of their comfort zones to be a part in fulfilling the Great Commission.  That’s also why we’ve adopted the tagline, “The Voice and Hands of Jesus.  Together.”  Our goal is that His name would be made known among the nations, and people everywhere would have a chance to enter into a growing relationship with Him.

What about all the people who have known and respected HCJB Global?
God has given us a tremendous legacy of people who have served and partnered with us for more than 80 years.  Reach Beyond honors those people by building on the legacy they established and advancing it to the next generation of those who are compelled by Christ’s love to reach the unreached.

What is the vision of Reach Beyond?
As the name implies, our vision is really twofold.  First, we want to motivate and equip the Body of Christ to reach beyond borders, comfort zones, geographic, social, economic and religious barriers to make the name of Jesus known among the nations.  Second, we want to enable those who do not know Christ to reach beyond their circumstances to receive eternal hope found only in Him.  The specific motivators that drive this vision are found in our mission manifesto.

What is the Reach Beyond Mission Manifesto all about?
The Christian faith is more than a belief system.  It is a relationship with the Creator of the universe who came to redeem his fallen children.  The Reach Beyond Manifesto is a declaration of how we want to invest our lives in proclaiming the name of Christ to the ends of earth.  We invite like minded believers anywhere to join us in fulfilling the vision of this manifesto.  You can sign the manifesto at ReachBeyond.org

How does Reach Beyond accomplish its mission?
God has granted Reach Beyond three primary methods of accomplishing our mission:
1) Media – Since its inception in Quito, Ecuador, Reach Beyond (HCJB Global) has leveraged the power of media to reach into areas where the name of Christ is unknown, resisted or marginalized.  Today our media ministry includes AM/FM radio, shortwave radio, satellite broadcasts, Internet, social media and any other developing forms of modern communication.
2) Health and development - The world is filled with those who suffer the effects of poverty, violence, abuse, war and pain. At Reach Beyond we aim to bring comfort and help to those people as we share the Good news of Jesus Christ and present Him as the only answer to life's problems.  He is the one who heals and restores broken lives, bodies and minds.
3) Partnership – God’s Kingdom is multiplied when believers empower other believers to use their resources and talents to further the gospel in their own context and culture.  Reach Beyond equips local leaders, churches and ministries with the resources and training necessary to carry the Good News to the unreached.  

How is Reach Beyond funded?
Reach Beyond is funded by generous donors who are committed to being an integral part of fulfilling the Great Commission and taking the gospel to unreached people.  It is through their faithful partnership that Reach Beyond is able to equip and empower others around the world to share the gospel through media and healthcare.  You can join the Reach Beyond movement by visiting ReachBeyond.org.

Does Reach Beyond use missionaries to accomplish its mission?
Yes.  Reach Beyond has a dedicated team of missionaries working around the world to establish radio stations, develop healthcare clinics, conduct clean water projects, provide media training and a host of other functions.  Our missionaries are dependent on a vast network of faithful supporter who give so they can go where God has called them.  You can join a missionary support team by visiting ReachBeyond.org.

How is Reach Beyond structured?
Reach Beyond conducts its work using our Regional Offices and World Offices.  Regional Offices are staffed by Reach Beyond Missionaries who work to develop partnerships with local believers, churches and ministries to establish media and community healthcare ministries.  The primary mandate of World Offices is to represent the global ministry of Reach Beyond and to recruit missionaries in their home countries.  They also develop media and healthcare efforts in their areas conducted under their supervision.  Regional Offices are supported by the Ministry Service Center in Colorado Springs.  This offices support the global mission’s efforts through fundraising and administrative assistance.

Chinese, Japanese Broadcasts Resume After Team Repairs Antenna in Australia

Source: HCJB Global (written by Ralph Kurtenbach)

Repairs to a storm-damaged antenna at the international transmitting site of HCJB Global-Australia were completed in mid-February, allowing the station’s Chinese and Japanese language broadcasts to return to the air

Strong winds had damaged the antenna at the Kununurra-based site in late January. A team consisting of Dave Brewster, Mike Ewers, Daniel Forrer and Greg Wilson assessed damages to a broken tower guy wire and seven broken element guy wires. The broadcast team assembled all materials needed for the repairs. Dennis Pease traveled from Perth, Western Australia, to supervise repairs.

Rains during Kununurra’s wet season made the ground too soft to use a crane, so Pease and Wilson climbed the tower, assisted by staff on the ground. Replacing the broken guy cable made the tower secure. Then they dismantled the broken section of the antenna, hauled up a new section, and fitted and secured it.

The repairs were completed on Thursday, Feb. 11, and regular programming in Chinese and Japanese resumed the next day after being off the air for 12 days. “Several Japanese DXers wrote to us regarding loss of signal,” said Peter Penford, the studio manager. “One of them in particular often writes.”

The site broadcasts 15 hours of programming per day in 21 languages, including English, Urdu, Hindi, Nepali, Chhattisgarhi, Indonesian (Bahasa), Mandarin, Bhojpuri, Tamil, Marathi, Marwari, Telegu, Gujarati, Malayalam, Kurux, Japanese, Malay (Bahasa), Rawang, Fujian, Punjabi and Hmar

Christian Radio Network in Chile Updating Listeners After Devastating Quake

Source: HCJB Global (written by Ralph Kurtenbach)

The people of Chile are putting their lives back together after an 8.8-strength earthquake struck near Concepción early Saturday, Feb. 27.

From the capital city of Santiago, Radio Armonía program host María Soledad is helping many Chileans to do so as the HCJB Global radio partner broadcasts via 35 affiliates across Chile.

Throughout the week María Soledad kept listeners up-to-date, encouraging them from the Scriptures. “In some sectors electricity is being restored—in cities like Concepción, Talcahuano, San Pedro de la Paz. Today I was asked about [the sector of] Michaigue,” she said on a program monitored in Ecuador.

A caller named Marina, her faith intact but emotions edgy, was overcome with emotion upon reaching Soledad. “How long have you been listening?” the program host asked as the two friends chatted on-air. “Just since this morning, we’ve been here without electricity, listening to the radio.”

Another caller, Pastor Alejandro Cabezas, experienced a few difficulties with highway travel to Concepción, but said the highway is generally clear and the weather is good. Moved by the enormity of the situation, his voice broke as he described the difficulties of people. “Some people are quite desperate,” he said.

Chileans continue experiencing dozens of aftershocks each day, keeping many in a state of uncertainty. Even as the tremors continue rattling people’s emotions, Radio Armonía is promoting an aid campaign launched by the Salvation Army. The “Embracing Chile” campaign solicits cash, nonperishable foods, milk and disposable diapers from the radio network’s listeners.

Since 1931, HCJB Global’s passion has been to make disciples of Jesus Christ. Using mass media, healthcare and education, and working with partners around the world, HCJB Global has ministries in more than 100 countries. Together with local partners, the ministry airs the gospel in more than 120 languages and dialects. Thousands of listeners and healthcare patients are meeting Jesus. Local believers are being trained as missionaries, pastors, broadcasters and healthcare providers.

Update on Ecuador's HCJB closure of Pifo transmitters

HCJB Global Voice Moves Up End Date of International Broadcasts from Ecuador

Greetings from Quito. Following is the official press release regarding the imminent shut down of the Pifo transmitter site.
Allen.

*HCJB Global Voice Moves Up End Date of International Broadcasts from Ecuador

*Source: HCJB Global

The end date for international broadcasts from Radio Station HCJB in Ecuador has been moved up as the missionary radio ministry defines new strategies for future outreach.

Anticipating the opening of the new Quito airport near the station’s international transmitter site in Pifo, staff members have already dismantled all but 14 antennas and towers. Present shortwave broadcasts in Portuguese, Spanish, German and indigenous languages, including Quichua, had earlier been announced to end no later than April 1, 2010. These international broadcasts will cease between September and November 2009.

Announcing the earlier closure date of Pifo, Graham Bulmer, HCJB Global’s director for the Latin America Region, said, “These times stretch us, causing us both to doubt and to grow in faith and hopefully drive us to confess our dependence on God. We believe He is guiding us. We hold all things with open hands and pursue understanding of what God expects of us as stewards of the resources of His kingdom.”

The Pifo closure will impact Radio Station HCJB’s Quichua Language Service with some programming moving from the shortwave frequencies to the local AM channel. Investigations are also being made regarding the possibility of transferring HCJB-2, the ministry’s 37-year-old FM station in Guayaquil (Ecuador’s largest city), into the hands of local partners.

The mission’s newer strategy, begun in the 1990s, has been to reduce its emphasis on shortwave in Latin America while focusing on “radio planting” or assisting local ministries realize their dream of beginning a Christian radio ministry. More than 300 local stations have been helped in these endeavors worldwide, including about 60 in Latin America. HCJB Global also continues to expand its training ministries across the region.

“The way people consume media has changed,” said HCJB Global President Wayne Pederson. “So we have the opportunity to change to delivery systems such as satellite, FM Internet and podcasting. The closing of shortwave in Latin America is strategic because of the planting of local FM radio stations across the region and around the world. These stations are staffed and programmed by local believers who can speak to the culture in their own communities.”

Pederson recently told the staff that a high priority for the mission is its initiative for Latin America called Corrientes that launches in October. The coalition of more than 10 Christian organizations involves training Latin Americans for bi-vocational mission work around the world. (Alokesh Gupta, India/Cumbre DX)

Blog post from August 11, 2009
The appended message was received from Allen Graham, HCJB, Ecuador on August 12.

Hello Bob,
This past weekend on the DX Partyline I shared the following news:

HCJB Ecuador will end its shortwave transmissions from Pifo on September 30, 2009 except for one frequency in Portuguese which will continue until mid-November. We are awaiting the official Press Release which will have more details. The administrative decision was made due to a number of factors. I feel obliged to not say anything further until the official announcement is released.

The future of the DX Partyline is still uncertain at this moment. When I know more, I will let you know.
Thanks for all of your support over the years. We really need it now more than ever.
Allen

Wayne Pederson Named New President of HCJB Global

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Wayne Pederson will become HCJB Global's new president Nov. 1, the international missions organization announced today. Wayne PedersonPederson, now vice president of Moody Broadcasting, will replace David Johnson, who stepped down in June after serving for seven years. Dr. James D. Allen has been serving as acting president.
Pederson is the seventh person to serve as HCJB Global's president. He has been a member of the board of directors of HCJB Global for two-and-a-half years. He also has worked with the ministry to raise money for key projects, including the launch of its satellite ministry in Latin America and Russia. "The board is delighted that Wayne has accepted the call to become HCJB Global's president. With his combination of godly character, seasoned leadership skills and passion for HCJB Global and its mission, he is uniquely equipped to serve as our president," said John Baugus, chairman of the board for HCJB Global.
"Wayne Pederson has a great heart for missions, and he is intimately acquainted with HCJB Global," said Glen Adams, the HCJB board member who headed the search team that selected Pederson. "He is an exceptional leader with many years of experience in Christian broadcasting.
"Further, he comes to us at an important time in the life if our ministry, and he brings a vision that will challenge all of us as we join together in the coming months and years to be the 'voice and hands of Jesus,'" Adams said.
"I have a passion to see people come to Jesus," Pederson said. "My focus has been on using the media to accomplish that. However, as I grow older, God has sensitized my heart to the physical needs of people worldwide.
"By combining HCJB Global Voice with HCJB Global Hands, we can demonstrate the love of Christ in very practical ways. That kind of caring opens the door for us to share the great spiritual truth that God cares not only for people's eternal salvation, but for their welfare in this life," Pederson said.
A native of Minnesota, Pederson has a bachelor of arts degree in psychology from the University of Minnesota and a master of theology from Free Lutheran Theological Seminary in Minneapolis. He and his wife Norma live in Chicago and have two married children.
Prior to joining Moody Broadcasting as manager of WMBI, Pederson was executive director of Christian Music Broadcasters, president of the Mission America Coalition and president and chairman of the National Religious Broadcasters. From 1967 to 2002, he held various positions at Northwestern College, rising to the level of executive vice president for radio.

HCJB granted extension on shortwave antennas

HCJB Global Voice in Ecuador has been granted an extension to continue using its shortwave radio antennas that are scheduled for dismantling and removal from the mission’s international transmission site near Pifo, a town 18 miles east of Quito.

The extension postpones, for at least six months, removals that the station agreed to two years earlier with the Quito Airport Corporation (CORPAQ) to make way for a new international airport. Once the new facility is completed, some of the shortwave station’s antenna towers could obstruct the approach of landing planes. “Specifically, this means that we can continue broadcasting on two shortwave frequencies to Brazil,” said Doug Weber, radio director for the Latin America Region. “Two frequencies allows us to better cover Brazil. With two, we can cover both north and south Brazil.”
The mission agreed that 30 towers would be removed by December 2007. The first phase of dismantling, initiated in early 2006, saw 18 towers lowered. HCJB Global’s engineering staff was poised to remove 12 more towers in the second phase. But Weber was informed that CORPAQ granted the mission’s request for continued use of those 12 towers, along with 18 others that will not impede approaching aircraft. “It also means we can continue with test transmissions of digital shortwave signals to Europe and other countries while opening the way to digital shortwave broadcasting to Brazil,” Weber said, adding that while European listener replies to the digital broadcasts are few, the listeners report a strong signal. HCJB Global Voice is conducting German-language digital shortwave broadcasts as a member of the Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) consortium [1100-1200 UTC on 15275 kHz]. In addition, on 26 January the pioneer missionary broadcaster inaugurated a daily, one-hour DRM program stream in Portuguese [2300-2400 UTC on 11795 kHz] created especially for the digital shortwave format. Weber said the programs are recorded by staff members at the HCJB Global-Brazil office in Curitiba.

Radio Kahuzi encourages residents after quakes

A voice of hope continues to blanket the city of Bukavu and the eastern part of the Democratic of Congo (D.R.C.) after a pair of earthquakes rocked the region on Sunday, Feb. 3, killing at least 46 people, including 10 who were attending church services.

Though the quake left hundreds injured and thousands homeless in the D.R.C. as well as neighboring Rwanda, Radio Kahuzi, HCJB Global Voice's partner station in Bukavu, suffered only minor damage.

Richard McDonald, a missionary who serves at Radio Kahuzi with his wife, Kathy, was making a last-minute check of the radio equipment, preparing to leave for church, when the category-6.0 quake struck at 9:30 a.m. local time. "The very heavy rack supporting the transmitters began rocking violently from side to side," McDonald explained.

"I tried to wrestle it to a stop and switched off the power, waiting for just less than a minute for the quake to finish."Danny Magadju, our journalist in training, powered down the studio and we exited for safety. No equipment was damaged, so we cautiously went back on the air," McDonald explained. Since then the broadcasts have been interrupted only occasionally by brief power outages.

"We continue to share good news with the listeners and what we know about the state of affairs and relay the news live concerning the day-to-day situation. The governor and seismographic experts are giving good counsel to the population via Radio Kahuzi."

McDonald added that engineers are keeping a close eye on two nearby hydroelectric dams that already had cracks and may have suffered further damage in the temblors. "But we are on the air as normal thus far," he said. "We will also continue with shortwave broadcasts from 6 to 10 p.m. Mondays and Fridays, reaching as far as Johannesburg, South Africa. We can also cover the eastern half of the D.R.C. and Rwanda with a good strong signal."

(if local time then -2 hrs for UTC, WRTH 2008: 6210 kHz http://www.fallingrain.com/world/CG/12/Bukavu.html
yes, UTC +2 hrs )

Earthquakes are not unusual in the western Great Rift Valley-a seismically active fault line straddling western Uganda, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Tanzania. In 1994 a magnitude-6 tremor in the foothills of western Uganda's Rwenzori Mountains killed at least six people. In 1966 a magnitude-7 earthquake killed 157 people and injured more than 1,300 in the Semliki Valley, also in western Uganda.

HCJB Global has been reaching out to listeners with the claims of Christ for more than 75 years via short-wave radio, local FM radio and now satellite radio and the Internet.
