CHRIST TO THE WORLD MINISTRIES

What CHRIST TO THE WORLD MINISTRIES does

Christ To The World Ministries (CTTW) is a U.S.-based, donation-funded nonprofit religious media ministry headquartered in Judson, Texas, founded in 2004. The organization produces Bible-based radio dramas, audio Bible recordings, Bible study guides, study leaflets, and 'Questions About Life' Q&A programs centered on a 'storying' methodology designed to convey Scripture truths in a form accessible to oral cultures and populations with limited literacy. Content is delivered free of charge through a network of broadcast partnerships with major international Christian radio networks — FEBC (Far East Broadcasting), FEBA, IBRA Media, and TWR (Trans World Radio) — reaching listeners across 60+ countries in Africa, South America, the Middle East, and Asia, with programming available in over 50 languages including English, Russian, Ukrainian, Portuguese, Spanish, Guarani, Quechua, and Yao.

The core product portfolio includes Radio Dramas (the primary format), Audio Bible recordings, and Bible Study Guides, alongside an expanding library of named series such as 'The Life of Christ' (25 studies), 'Persons Who Met Jesus,' 'The Story of Redemption,' 'Who Is Jesus,' 'Seekers of His Kingdom,' and 'Good News' — the last being a conversational program tailored for Muslim-background listeners. Distribution occurs via radio broadcast (Bottom-of-funnel channel) and direct website streaming/download of audio resources (Top-of-funnel), with audience engagement reinforced through listener testimonials collected across India, Russia, Indonesia, Korea, and Pakistan.

The business model is non-commercial: CTTW generates no product or service revenue and operates entirely on charitable donations and contributions. The organization is founder-led (with a President as chief executive and Dr. Art Criscoe as Senior Editor), supported by a small staff of approximately 6 employees plus a distributed team of volunteer scriptwriters and broadcast-partner organizations. Marketing relies on the website (christtotheworld.com), Facebook, and YouTube, with broadcast partnerships functioning as both distribution channels and the primary audience-acquisition mechanism. The organization is privately held and unrelated to any parent company or institutional investor.
