As the storm clouds of war began to rise over Europe and Asia, Dr. Webber was convinced that the world was entering the last generation. The format of the daily program was:
- Evangelism—Broadcast the good news that Jesus Christ came to save sinners.
- Prophecy—Signs of the time indicate that Jesus is returning soon.
- Missions—Raise funds to support missionaries in foreign countries.
- Teaching—Teach the Word to discipleship believers.
- Publish—Supplement preaching with sound Christian book dissemination.
- Contend for the faith—Confront and oppose apostasy within the churches.
- Encourage—Support other ministers who need to be heard.
From 1933 to the present time, this ministry format has not changed.
In 1959, Dr. Webber was taken home to be with the Lord.

It’s the most interesting, enlightening, educative, inquisitive show ever! I love it wholeheartedly. …

I love the guests you have on. I love the fact that [your program] is very biblically oriented, and I can’t find anything that disagrees with basically what the Bible says. And I’m really impressed with that.

Since coming to Christ in 2004, the Lord has had several inspiring Christians cross my path, of which you are one.

Your program is the best on the air. It’s like going to a college class. I’ve learned so much. It’s better than watching the Super Bowl, and I am an avid NFL fan.
