The Back To God Hour

Palos Heights, Illinois

The Back to God Hour is the international electronic media ministry of the Christian Reformed Church. Using all methods of media, they broadcast the message of salvation in nine languages.

Story

The Back to God Hour was faced with an aging and declining donor base. The general audience perception was that this ministry was primarily an antiquated North American radio broadcast to a largely Christian audience. Our challenge was to re-brand the organization to appeal to younger and non-traditional audiences. Stories of transformed lives are compelling. We crafted a message that focused on the listener. “…let them hear” was a new campaign tagline and rallying point. Offering an opportunity to let millions hear the gospel message appeals to both young and old audiences. 

Expression

We developed multiple pieces to effectively communicate the “…let them hear” story. Images used in the communication materials are primarily of those who “hear,” and feather elements of technology. The technology aspect of the ministry is what differentiates it from other foreign mission ministries. The materials created included a major donor brochure, website, stationery, graphic standards and more.
