David Johnson is president of HCJB World Radio and has served in this capacity since September 2001. He is responsible for overseeing all ministries of HCJB World Radio.

“To me this anniversary is a wonderful milestone of reflecting on God’s faithfulness and a legacy of a number of generations that have been faithful in impacting the world through radio in so many languages. We can be absolutely confident that God wants to continue using us in the future. The key is realizing that all that has been accomplished has been done in the power of Christ—working through people.”
