100 Years of Children's Bible Programs!!!


This past Easter and Resurrection Sunday a marvelous milestone in Christian media history passed by. After 5 years of research, I have not found an earlier Bible ministry for children on radio than the Children's Bible Stories presented by the Rev. William A. Logan from station KDKA in Pittsburgh. This series was broadcast as early as April 02, 1922 - 100 Years Ago. 

To salute 100 Years of Children's Bible Radio Ministries, I want to write a series highlighting milestones across the past century. It is a great year of reflection on this history as Keys For Kids' Children's Bible Hour continues to air after 80 years. Focus on the Family's Adventures in Odyssey is turning 35. Also there are several pioneers like Thereaa Worman, and classics like Ranger Bill to discuss as well. 

Also I ask that you join me in praying for the growth and spread of today's children's media ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
