Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association: Spreading the Gospel

The Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association was the brainchild of Garner Ted Armstrong (9 February 1930 – 15 September 2003), a well-known American evangelist. His life was as filled with righteousness as with controversy especially in relation with his father, Herbert W. Armstrong, also an evangelist who established the Worldwide Church of God.

Armstrong initially came to the world’s attention as his father’s successor as The World Tomorrow’s voice; it was the church’s radio program with a worldwide broadcast. His success eventually gave way to his own radio program wherein he mixed social, political and cultural commentary with Biblical messages, a polemical message that was unlike the styles of most religious broadcasters of the day.

In the 1970s, however, Garner was disowned by his father and thus began a new chapter in his life and career. His daily radio program broadcasted over several nations from the United States to the Philippines in various languages including English, Spanish, German, Italian, French, and Russian. He also appeared in a daily television show.
