Amazing Facts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Amazing Facts is an American radio program and media ministry founded in 1965 by Joe Crews in Baltimore, Maryland. Inspired by the success of The Rest Of The Story", hosted by Paul Harvey, Crews' original objective was to reach out to both Christian and non-Christian listeners via daily 15-minute programs by opening with an alleged scientific or historic fact, and how it applies to the overall Biblical messages. Later, the program offered accompanying home Bible study courses, as well as books written by Crews himself. In 1987, Amazing Facts initiated a television ministry. Shortly before his death in 1993, Crews invited Doug Batchelor to assume the position of President/Speaker, which he has held ever since. Today, the Amazing Facts radio program "Bible Answers Live" broadcasts mainly out of Sacramento, California each Sunday Evening to about 155 national stations. Amazing Facts has also opened a Center of Evangelism and commonly hosts seminars using the same presentation model.

In April 2007 it was announced that Amazing Facts and 3ABN will be merging ^[1]^[2]^[3] However, on August 2007, after several months of review, Amazing Facts announced they will not merge with 3ABN due to issues with structural dynamics.^[4]
