Inspirational Radio HRGS
1290 AM, 93.9 FM
Roatán, Honduras

Radio HRGS beams clear biblical messages into the homes of the Bay Islands and northern Honduras — even reaching into Belize and Guatemala. Broadcasting on AM and FM frequencies from 5:00 AM to 11:00 PM, the Gospel message penetrates into hearts with the good news of salvation. Faithful biblical teaching encourages and stimulates believers. Beautiful Christian music stirs hearts and provides healthy, enjoyable listening.

Radio expands a missionary's area of impact so that he can speak to thousands of individuals one on one. While radio is mass media, it is also a very personal vehicle for the Gospel. Each listener feels as if the speaker is talking directly to him. The witness pierces the private walls of homes where many hear who would refuse to listen if they were approached personally at home or on the street.

Our Missionary Task
Radio HRGS fulfills that purpose by serving the needs of a concentrated area. By having local participation, we enhance the outreach of the Gospel and serve the needs of the community. Our daily Community Bulletin Board carries announcements of church meetings, weddings, funerals, and other items of interest to the people. Each year on Mother's Day HRGS airs a special, extended Request and Dedication program during which several hundred requests usually flood the phone lines. Radio HRGS also broadcasts special public service announcements such as those on health and sanitation issues.
Bible Basics International's task is to reach people with the clear Gospel message, lead them to faith in Christ, and help them to grow to Christian maturity.
Two of the best liked radio programs are the daily Request and Dedication music program and Unshackled from Pacific Garden Mission in Chicago. People who do not normally listen to Christian radio listen to HRGS and hear the Gospel message because the station serves their needs.

Local Church Oriented
Bible Basics believes in the local church and works closely with Gospel preaching churches in the Bay Islands. In addition to station responsibilities, there are preaching and teaching opportunities, children's club meetings, youth work, and Sunday School. And, of course, there is no end of witnessing opportunities.

The Treasure of Roatán
Roatan is one of the beautiful Bay Islands, about 30 miles off the north coast of Honduras. Some believe it is the island upon which the epic adventure Treasure Island is set! Pirates' Cove lies in a lovely little isolated spot on the south side of the island. We do not know if Roatan is really Treasure Island, but we do know that the Bay Islands contain a veritable treasure of people for whom Jesus Christ paid the ultimate price! That is the reason that BBI is there preaching the unsearchable riches of Christ to those who need the Savior.
