Our ultimate goal is to see that every person has the opportunity to hear the life transforming Gospel message in their own language. Through The Tide heart language radio programs we aim to see people responding in faith to the God of the universe, accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and and enabled to freely live out their faith in the context of their own community and culture.
The Tide works with ministry partners in various countries to identify and recruit indigenous ministers who are capable of sharing the Gospel message in their own language, to their own people, in a culturally relevant manner. These recruits are then trained in radio program production and used to produce The Tide heart language radio programs in studios in their own regions. The Tide also employs local staff in each country to follow up with listeners and engage them in activities to disciple them into committed Christ followers. Through short term mission trips experienced leaders from North America are invited to help train and resource emerging indigenous leaders in various regions of the world.
The Tide has a wide network of contacts in numerous countries and partners with other like minded ministries.
The Tide requires all partner ministries to submit quarterly progress reports and a comprehensive annual report. These reports include statistics on ministry activities and the number of people impacted. The reports also include translated portions of letters from listeners sharing how the radio programs and discipleship activities have impacted their lives.
The Tide ministry has been steadily increasing the number of heart language radio programs we are producing, and expanding into new countries. Ministry partners have also increased the number of on the ground evangelistic campaigns and discipleship activities. Building plans and construction permits have been approved, and we have broken ground for the new studio we are committed to building in Zimbabwe. As of 3/7/2017 the foundation has been dug, the footers and slab have been poured, and the brick walls are nearing completion.

Organizational Demographics
In order to support nonprofits and gain valuable insight for the sector, GuideStar worked with D5—a five-year initiative to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in philanthropy—in creating a questionnaire. This section is a voluntary questionnaire that empowers organizations to share information on the demographics of who works in and leads organizations. To protect the identity of individuals, we do not display sexual orientation or disability information for organizations with fewer than 15 staff. Any values displayed in this section are percentages of the total number of individuals in each category (e.g. 20% of all Board members for X organization are female).
