Trans World Radio (TWR) has programs in over 225 languages and dialects aired from more than 2,800 outlets around the world, including 14 international broadcasting locations, as well as local medium wave (AM), shortwave, long wave and FM radio stations, direct-to-listener satellite broadcasts, cable audio systems and the Internet. Every day, TWR's broadcasts reach over 160 countries. TWR has a worldwide team of over 2,000 people, with strategic partnerships in 40 countries with over 200 organizations.

TWR was founded by Dr. Paul E. Freed in 1952 as a nonprofit organization to proclaim the unchanging message of the Gospel. The first broadcast was aired more than 50 years ago from a 2,500-watt transmitter in Tangier, Morocco, in February 1954.

Listeners in West Africa are the beneficiaries of expanded ministry. Recent (2008) broadcast supplements to the airwaves include Baatonum, Ditammari, and Lukpa — all languages spoken in Benin, West Africa; and Ifè, a language of Togo. With these and other new additions, TWR now proclaims God’s Word globally in more than 225 languages and dialects.
