In 1972, in response to requests from Caribbean pastors and missionaries, the Lord led Dr. Tom Freeney, General Director of Baptist International Missions, Inc., to suggest that a Christian radio station be built on Antigua. Antigua, a 9- by 12-mile tropical island, is ideally situated at the center of the Eastern Caribbean chain of islands known as the Lesser Antilles. As a missionary radio station, the Caribbean Radio Lighthouse broadcasts the good news of God’s Word to the islands of the Eastern Caribbean. Located on the tropical island of Antigua and operated by Baptist International Missions, Inc., the station has been used by the Lord to strengthen local churches by teaching and encouraging individual Christians through sound, Bible-based programming.
