The HCJB Global Technology Center (formerly known as the HCJB World Radio Engineering Center) was established in 1986 as part of the World by 2000 initiative. The vision of this commitment was--by the year 2000--to provide every man, woman, and child on earth with the opportunity to turn a radio on and hear the gospel of Jesus Christ in a language they could understand so they could become responsible members of His Church. This vision was shared by HCJB Global and other major broadcasters, such as Trans World Radio and Far East Broadcasting Company. The initial goal of the Technology Center was to design and build affordable, energy-efficient 100,000-watt shortwave transmitters for World by 2000 ministry partners. Given the geo-political conditions of the day, it was clear that many target audiences could only be reached through the tool of high-power shortwave broadcasting. A total of nine HC100 transmitters were produced. They have been faithfully sharing the Good News in hundreds of languages from strategic broadcast locations around the globe.

The work of the HCJB Global Technology Center serves as a marvelous example of cooperation by God's people who come from many different walks of life, operating under the banners of different corporations, churches, and mission organizations. The foundations for this ministry model were laid in early 1975, when Clarence Moore, the founder of Crown International in Elkhart, Indiana, invited HCJB Global to use his manufacturing facilities for the creation of a 500,000-watt shortwave transmitter. This mammoth mouthpiece for the gospel would be capable of reaching very distant targets, overcoming efforts by some to block radio signals that carried Christian programming. "Project 500" was completed in 1980 and the HC500 transmitter began broadcasts from Quito, Ecuador in 1981.

When the Technology Center was created, it was again through the invitation of the Moore family that HCJB was provided with necessary floor space and access to manufacturing resources. Clyde Moore, Clarence's son, was then serving as President of Crown International.

Although shortwave radio was initially the sole focus of the HCJB Global Technology Center, the ministry has expanded to include research, development, training, and technical support for a wide range of ministries. A significant involvement program also provides opportunities for young technologists to apply their talents to Kingdom work and for churches and individuals to join the effort through volunteer help.

The Technology Center exists to facilitate global ministry through the provision of essential technical assistance.
