Bonaire

Home to the largest AM transmitter in the Western Hemisphere, Shine 800 AM — TWR's transmitting site on Bonaire — reaches a potential audience of 100 million across Latin America and the Caribbean with the hope of Christ.

A powerful new chapter in an already-developing story, TWR aired our first broadcasts from the island of Bonaire in 1964, shortly after establishing our first transmitting site in Monte Carlo. Since then, the Lord has used this crucial station to bring hope to this part of the world, and he continues to write the story of his redeeming grace through our ministry.
