Torch, Spring 1998

I ! T he CDR Radio Network is celebrating 35 years of magnifying Jesus Christ through radio. General Manager Paul Gathany shares how he, Chancellor James T. Jeremiah, his son Dr. David Jeremiah (current speaker of "Turning Point" radio program), and Dr. John Reed (former chairman of what was then Cedarville's speech department) helped launch CDR in December 1962. "It was during the infancy of I FM radio," he recalls. "Since that time, many faithful staff members have invested their lives in making God's Word available to the masses. "The focus of CDR's programming has always been to lead people into a growing knowledge of Jesus Christ and to strengthen the local church," says Gathany, who grew up in a pastor's home. The CDR Radio Network ministry has gained national recognition for the integration of missions-related news features and projects into its regular programming. The network also operates Impact News, the leading family– oriented news service in the Midwest. Known to listeners as ;;;,H, CDR also presents music and information programs that help give them biblical direction for their spiritual journey. Listeners can access CDR programming any time of day or night through the network's web site on the Internet: http://www.cdrradio.com . Torch 9
