THE OVERALL PURPOSE OF THIS MINISTRY IS TO CARRY OUT THE GREAT COMMISSION FOUND IN MATTHEW 28:19-20, THROUGH BROADCASTING AND CYBERCASTING OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST AND THROUGH THE DISSEMINATION OF CHRISTIAN LITERATURE. THE WORD "BROADCAST" IS AN AGRICULTURAL TERM THAT MEANS TO SCATTER SEED INDISCRIMINATELY OVER A WIDE AREA.
