Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. However, up until last fall with a semester of schooling left,

came into contact with TWR, formerly known as Trans World Radio, at Moody's
annual Mission Conference. After being invited to dinner with TWR representatives
(free food inevitably gives a good first impression),I came to find out y
that TWR is the farthest reaching Christian network in the world. Their
ever-expanding ministry currently broadcasts in over 200 languages and dialects in
160 countries to millions of people every single day. Despite the wide variety of
broadcasts, TWR has had one specific aim in their fifty year history spreading
the hope found in Christ to as many people as possible.
