THE BIRTH OF CV

In December of 1988 CV, or Christian Vision, was founded by British businessman Robert Edmiston. It was the fulfilment of his dream to establish a Christian charity, living in accordance with Luke 12:48 “For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required”.

A NEW ERA

RADIO CHRISTIAN VOICE

In the early 1990's, a new era was sparked within CV as sights were set on the world of broadcasting. Soon to become a pillar within CV's missional work, Radio Christian Voice would become an avenue through which the gospel could be taken to places people could not enter.
