"'everyone who calls on the name of the lord will be saved.' But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?" (romans 10:13-14). Every day Blue Ridge Broadcasting works to tell thousands of people about jesus christ.
