Clarence Jones: Mr. Radio (Janet & Geoff Benge)

Although born into a devout Christian family, Clarence Jones wasn’t interested in religion. It was this Midwesterner’s ear for music that led him to play trombone at Chicago’s Moody Church, where he gave his life to Christ and volunteered for mission work.

Clarence’s work began in Chicago, where he helped pioneer something unheard of – Christian radio broadcasts. Soon God called Clarence to “go south with radio.” Led to Ecuador, Clarence worked unswervingly to cofound Radio HCJB and the World Radio Missionary Fellowship. His legacy of broadcasting the gospel to the ends of the earth soars on the airwaves today (1900-1986).

This best-selling, missionary biography series – Christian Heroes: Then & Now – chronicles the exciting, challenging, and deeply touching true stories of ordinary men and women whose trust in God accomplished extraordinary exploits for His kingdom and glory.
