The Tide

The Tide is a Christian radio broadcasting ministry based in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. The organization, which employs 5 to 9 people, generates an annual revenue of $2.5 million. Founded in 1946 as the Gospel Tide Broadcasting Association, The Tide began by producing an English-language radio program called the Gospel Tide Hour. The Tide's mission is to deliver relevant, Biblical teaching in "Heart Languages," the native languages of their listeners. They achieve this through radio broadcasts in 25 languages across various countries including Albania, Bhutan, India, Kosovo, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Thailand, and Zimbabwe. Beyond radio, The Tide offers discipleship training, literature distribution, correspondence courses, conferences and seminars, and media players for underserved communities. The organization distinguishes itself through its commitment to international outreach and its focus on tailoring its message to specific cultural contexts. They partner with indigenous churches to foster church planting and leadership development initiatives. To learn more about The Tide's programs and initiatives, visit their website at thetide.org.
