(2) New Christian Radio Broadcast Comes to N. Ireland
For over 60 years the Reformed Witness Hour (RWH) has
been proclaiming the gospel on the world’s airwaves. Now, for the first
time, it can be heard in most parts of N. Ireland and there are even
people in SW Scotland who are tuning in. The programmes are broadcasted by
Radio North/Gospel 846 AM or MW from their station outside Muff in Co.
Donegal, just to the west of the city of Londonderry.
The Reformed Witness Hour exists to proclaim the truth about the Triune
God: "For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things; to
whom be glory for ever. Amen" (Romans 11:36). Speaking on the very
first broadcast of the Reformed Witness Hour in 1941, Rev. Herman Hoeksema
declared, "The supreme task of the church is to preach the Word of
God. But if there is a Word of God to be proclaimed by the church, it must
needs be a Word which God Himself speaks, and which He speaks concerning
Himself. And if God speaks concerning Himself, the basic and all-pervading
note of that speech must inevitably be: I am God! Unless the church
proclaims this truth in all its implications, in all its purity and
without compromise, she cannot preach, she has nothing to say. God is
God!" The current radio pastor, Rev. Carl Haak from Chicago, is
faithful to this central truth of the biblical and Reformed faith.
Today, sadly the majority of "Christian" broadcasts are about
man and his experiences, which are all too often of the Charismatic
variety. Thus the Reformed Witness Hour comes as a breath of fresh air,
for it is not afraid to preach the clear Biblical truth that "God is
God!" Recent programmes have included "The Blessings of a Godly
Marriage," "The Infallibility of Holy Scripture" and "Mene,
Mene, Tekel, Upharsin." One lady listener in N. Ireland stated that
the Reformed Witness Hour is the best Christian broadcast that she has
heard.
The programmes are aired each Sunday morning from 8:30-9:00AM on Radio
North/Gospel 846 AM or MW. They can be picked up by radio at home or in
your car, and are a good way to begin the Lord’s Day. The Reformed
Witness Hour is sponsored by the Covenant Protestant Reformed Fellowship
in Ballymena.

"I was delighted to see in the Evangelical Times
the article about the broadcasts you have been sponsoring. We have been
listening to them each Lord’s Day and are finding them a great source
of blessing and encouragement. It is indeed refreshing to hear such
God-centred, Biblical preaching, and we pray that the Lord would use
these broadcasts to glorify His Name. Please find enclosed a small
donation to help with this ministry (or wherever most needed)." -

"We really enjoy ‘The Reformed Witness Hour’
programme each Sunday morning. It is a pleasure to hear the Gospel
spoken in all its glory. This programme ... [is] required listening in
our house!" - Co. Londonderry, N. Ireland
"I listen to the time slot given to the Reformed
Witness Hour and I have just heard the message from Romans 13:13-14,
‘Put on the Lord Jesus Christ.’ Could I have a tape or CD of this
message and what is the cost? Thank you." - Randalstown, N.
Ireland
"I'd be most grateful if you'd send to [me] a tape of the
broadcast on Romans 13:13-14 which was much appreciated, particularly as
it was based on the AV of the Bible." - Belfast, N. Ireland
