Dear Friend of GBM,
March 15, 1977
Wow- twenty five years!
That's great 1
I remember when I was 25 years old(well, I almost remember). That seemed old - mature - ancient. Now, it seems young - youthful - and not-so-old.
A marriage that lasts a quarter of a century these days is quite an

achievement.
An organization that lasts the same 25 years is quite an achievement, too. Especially when that organization is committed to sharing the Gospel of Christ, and preaching the Word of God. Not just in our country, but around the world. Gospel Broadcasting Mission is 25 years old this month.
In this period of time, the Gospel has been preached to literally millions of people via radio. Even behind the "Iron" and "Bamboo" curtains, GBM programs penetrate and reach people's hearts.
In Europe, Asia and Africa - and the other continents, GBM has been active and busy in preaching the truth and in teaching the truth, for twenty five
years. Praise God!
When Walter and Mainie Coble started GBM in 1952, I'm sure they never invisioned this kind of growth and accomplishment. What began as a small, one-station ministry, has blossomed into a world-wide ministry.
Today, no less than 28 radio programs per week are teaching - sharing preaching, the~Truth of God.
Black ears, yellow ears, red ears, white ears, brown ears, have heard and are now hearing the message of Truth, over some of the most listened-to radio stations on earth. The message must first be heard by the ear if it is to produce faith in the heart.
How we thank God for the determination, dedication and vision of the
Cobles!
Thank God for you too, and your friendship to GBM. You've helped to make the first 25 years exciting and rewarding ones. Your gifts and prayers and

I wonder what the next 25 years will hold in store

for GBM?
Is it possible to broadcast in each of the 200 or

so nations of the world? In the year 2002, when GBM celebrates it's 50th anniversary, will it be said that every continent is being covered? Will there
be a Gospel broadcast in every major language of

the world?

Where GBM Started In 1952
With the first 25 years now behind us, the future outlook for broadcasting the Gospel through GBM
has never been better. There is now a world-wide
interest in radio that is exciting!
New program opportunities seem to present them selves almost daily. Our missionaries and foreignborn preachers are counting on you and GBM to help meet the needs and to help them step through the
opening doors.
Radio Broadcasting, in my opinion, presents the

very best value received for the dollars spent,
in preaching and teaching the Word of God to masses of people. When coupled with an active follow-up program, it becomes one of the most
effective and efficient tools for evangelism in the world today.
Here is what can be accomplished in the future with your help, prayers, and confidence.
1. A Gospel Broadcast presenting New
Testament Christianity can be established in

every maj or language on earth - covering every
nation on earth.
Walter Coble, Today
2. Every missionary will be able to use radio
to supplement and assist his regular ministry of sharing God's Word in the country he's working in. Weekly at first, then perhaps daily.
3. With enough support from you, and others,

funds can be provided for personal follow-up on the fields where programs are heard. This will include correspondence courses and teaching aids.
4. With enough friends, like vou. to share the
Language
world-wide vision and far-reaching dream of broadcasting the Gospel, the Word can be preached
to the whole world.
It isn't necessary, however, to wait for another 25 years to accomplish these goals. We, you and I, can and must start now - today. When you share an offering, you become directly involved with the preaching of the Word in Africa, India, Korea, Poland, and the other nations of the world.
It's possible that some of you who read this letter have never given even one dollar to preach the Gospel around the world. This is your chance to change that! Please give in order to allow Gospel Broadcasting Mission to start new broadcasts, on your behalf. Millions will hear tomorrow because you care and share today. I'm counting on you! I've enclosed a special postage-paid envelope for your offering. Please give as much as you can. $25.00 would be a good way to help celebrate GBM's 25th anniversary.
God bless you as you share in this 25th anniversary offering. Thank you so very much.

In the former garage of the LaVeme Morse home in Cincinnati, Ohio is a compact, but effective, recording studio completed during the past 14 months. It contains a tape library of music and announcements in tribal languages of Asia. This we have carefully built up through ten years of training Asian Christian speakers and musical groups. The hundreds of selections have had to be recorded specifically for our tribal broadcasts, since such music commercially recorded is non
existent.
