  • Faith in Action: An interview with Maria Kaloyanoff detailed her dangerous efforts smuggling Bible literature into Communist Europe during the 1960s.

• Key Segments:
  • Our History in Motion: This episode traced the organization's 100-year history of using motion-picture technology, from the Photo-Drama of Creation in 1914 to modern digital videos.

I think with the exception of the Annual Meeting and Gilead Graduation recordings we have only had 2 Broadcasts hosted by GB members.  November 2025 was Jeffrey Jackson and August 2025 we had M. Stephen Lett.  

 

So the chances are we will have a Helper.  Although exactly a year ago we had Br. Lett. What do you think?

What a wonderful program!

It’s a lovely talk by Br. Walls. Families are indeed under attack from Satan. Very timely too.
