The History of the Beginning and Growth of the Worldwide Church of God - Chapter 5 - Herbert W Armstrong - September 1980

Herbert W Armstrong

WE HAVE NOW covered the beginning, in August of 1933, of the present succession of THE CHURCH OF GOD, founded A.D. 31 by Jesus Christ. It was begun amid persecution, in the midst of the worst economic depression of our time, and with only 19 members, mostly new converts. In October, 1933, about Feast of Tabernacles time, opportunity had come to me to go on the air on Eugene's [Oregon] minimum-wattage Radio KORE, weekday mornings at 7:30 for I5-minute programs, free of cost. That had led to launching the Radio Church of God program, 30 minutes on Sunday mornings, beginning the first Sunday in 1934-Jan. 7. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
