Engineering Center Becomes HCJB Global Technology Center

January 16, 2007

Reflecting the mission's recent name change to HCJB Global from HCJB World Radio and an expanding vision, the engineering center in Elkhart, Indiana, was renamed the HCJB Global Technology Center effective Jan. 1, 2007.

Director David Russell said the new name better encompasses all areas of ministry that staff members have become involved in since 1986 when the center was established.

"We felt that 'engineering' was too specific. 'Technology' is more encompassing. It can include technical support, training, maintenance and installation as well as design and development," he explained. "For us it may eventually include support of medical and community development outreaches, in addition to broadcasting."

Staff members at the center have been involved in research, development, manufacturing, training and technical support for AM, FM and shortwave radio stations as well as satellite distribution and satellite-based Internet services.

In recent years the staff has developed a fixed-tuned, solar-powered SonSet radio that can be pre-tuned to pick up specific Christian radio stations. Engineers at the center have also been pioneers in the development of equipment to implement digital radio broadcasting using the Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) standards.

The HCJB Global Technology Center has worked with local partners worldwide to help start more than 300 radio ministries in more than 100 countries since the early 1990s. The center also has an active apprenticeship program designed to provide an avenue for recent college graduates with technical degrees to gain first-hand experience in using their skills for work in Christian missions. The center's staff consists of about 50 missionaries, employees and volunteers from many different disciplines.
