- Amazing Facts
Amazing Facts is an American
radio program and media ministry founded in 1965 byJoe Crews inBaltimore ,Maryland . Inspired by the success of "The Rest Of The Story", hosted byPaul Harvey , Crews' original objective was to reach out to bothChristian 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 invitedDoug 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 ofSacramento, 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
