The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) has launched in March ADRA's World Radio, a weekly 30-minutes show featuring stories from the front lines of ADRA's fight against poverty.

ADRA's World Radio can be heard each Saturday at 2 p.m. U.S. Eastern time on the LifeTalk Radio Network. Beginning in May, the show can be listened through online streaming at www.adra.org . On ADRA's Web site a station list is available to determine what station broadcasts the show in your area.

ADRA's World Radio explores the issues and chronicles the experiences of the women and men of ADRA who are creating long-term solutions for food security, economic development, primary health, disaster response, and basic education around the globe.

"ADRA's World Radio directly connects listeners to our projects in the field. It’s a great opportunity to learn—in real time—what’s happening in some of the world’s hotspots as well as gain a greater understanding of the development process," stated Tereza Byrne, bureau chief for marketing and development and executive producer of ADRA's World Radio.

The show is hosted and produced by Charles Mills who owns and operates Christian Communications, a media production service based in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. He is author of more than 40 published books and hundreds of magazine articles. Mills is host of several weekly programs heard on the LifeTalk Radio Network, 3ABN Radio Network, and other Christian stations. The son of missionary parents, Mills has traveled the world, living within a rich blend of cultures in both the Far and Middle East.
