Engineering Center Changes Name to HCJB Global Technology Center

Reflecting the mission's recent name change to HCJB Global from HCJB
World Radio and an expanding vision, the engineering center in
Elkhart, Indiana, was renamed the HCJB Global Technology Center
effective Jan. 1, 2007.

Director David Russell said the new name better encompasses all areas
of ministry that staff members have become involved in since 1986 when
the center was established.

"We felt that 'engineering' was too specific. 'Technology' is more
encompassing. It can include technical support, training, maintenance
and installation as well as design and development," he explained.
"For us it may eventually include support of medical and community
development outreaches, in addition to broadcasting."

Staff members at the center have been involved in research,
development, manufacturing, training and technical support for AM, FM
and shortwave radio stations as well as satellite distribution and
satellite-based Internet services.

In recent years the staff has developed a fixed-tuned, solar-powered
SonSetTM radio that can be pre-tuned to pick up specific Christian
radio stations. Engineers at the center have also been pioneers in the
development of equipment to implement digital radio broadcasting using
the Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) standards.
The HCJB Global Technology Center has worked with local partners
worldwide to help start more than 300 radio ministries in more than
100 countries since the early 1990s. The center also has an active
apprenticeship program designed to provide an avenue for recent
college graduates with technical degrees to gain first-hand experience
in using their skills for work in Christian missions. The center's
staff consists of about 50 missionaries, employees and volunteers from
many different disciplines.
The technology center also changed its Internet address to hcjbtech.org.
