African Radio Ministries exists to glorify God through the radio waves. ARM is depopulating hell and populating heaven in Liberia and surrounding nations through Lutheran worship services over the radio. Each program is designed as a Lutheran worship service with culturally relevant praise music, message, Lord's Prayer, Confession & Absolution and contact information. The programs are designed to:
- encourage listening groups to become church plants, especially in remote areas where it would be difficult to support a pastor
- encourage listeners to attend a local ELCLS church in their area if one is within their reach of transportation
- encourage listeners to call asking questions, be prayed for, or request a visit from a pastor/evangelist.
