The Rock Radio Network

As God continued expanding His work on Vieques, it became apparent that the rallies and Bible lessons were having a huge effect, but that even more was needed. Don believed that it would take too long to impact the Caribbean by rallies and lessons alone. Staff began praying and seeking God's face as to where to expand.

As the story goes, one day, as Don was talking with a fisherman, he happened to notice that the man was straining to catch the weather forecast on a battery-powered radio. In a flash of insight, Don realized that there were no Christian radio stations anywhere in the entire Caribbean! That sparked the vision for WIVV, which went on the air later in 1956 as the first fulltime Christian radio station in the Caribbean. For more on the WIVV story, click here.

God continued expanding the radio ministry of CEM, Inc. In the 1980s, CEM purchased WBMJ in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Now known as The Rock Radio Network, the radio ministry of CEM moved to San Juan and took up residence in its present quarters on Avenida Ponce de León in Santurce.

Today

Today, CEM and The Rock Radio Network is aggressively meeting the new challenges and opportunities of serving God in the 21st century. The Bible Correspondence School of the Caribbean has expanded to reach the entire world. We now have satellite schools in places all the way from Bolivia to Burma, and we're teaching and reaching students in locations like homes, hospital beds, prisons, and churches. We're praying for God to give us additional radio stations to cover the rest of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. We're expanding our online ministry as well.

Thank you for your interest in this ministry. Your prayers and financial support help to keep the vision that founded this work alive. As we seek to honor the legacy of those who have labored before us, we continue asking God to expand His work at CEM. You can help us meet that challenge! Click here.
