THE TRADITIONAL
DAWN BROADCASTING INVOLVES PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL AT DAWN. THIS BROADCASTING IS IN THE CONTEXT OF EVANGELISM. THE TERM DAWN BROADCASTING HAS EVOLVED IN SUCH A WAY THAT, IT HAS COME TO BE ALMOST ALWAYS LINKED WITH EVANGELISM. TODAY, WHEN YOU HEAR DAWN BROADCASTING IN GHANA, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A METHOD OF EVANGELISM. DEFINITION OF DAWN
THIS CAN BE DONE IN AN OPEN-AIR OR BROADCASTING ON RADIO AND INFORMATION CENTRES. THIS MEANS THAT THE CHURCH AT THE AREA, DISTRICT AND LOCAL LEVELS SHOULD ENDEAVOR TO ACQUIRE ITS OWN INFORMATION CENTERS OR MOUNTING OF HORNS ON TOP OF THEIR CHURCH BUILDINGS WHERE PRACTICABLE. THE WAKE OF RADIO BROADCASTING HAS AFFORDED CHRISTIAN EVANGELISTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ALSO BROADCAST THE GOSPEL USING THE AIRWAVES.
THIS WAS THE CASE IN GHANA AT THE EMERGENCE OF THE GHANA BROADCASTING CORPORATION (GBC). PREACHERS HAVE USED THAT CHANNEL AND OTHERS THAT CAME ALONG THE LINE TO PREACH THE WORD OF GOD. AT THE BEGINNING, SOME OF THE REGULAR PREACHERS ON RADIO BROADCASTING AT DAWN. THIS PROGRAMME WAS VERY MUCH CHERISHED BY MANY. PEOPLE WOULD NOT WANT TO MISS THE DAWN BROADCASTING USUALLY DO THEIR
BECAUSE IT PROMISES TO PRESENT THEM WITH THE SOOTHING WORD OF GOD. IT BECAME VERY MUCH TALKED ABOUT. THUS BROADCASTING HAS COME TO STAY IN THE MINDS AND ON THE LIPS OF PEOPLE REFERRING TO THE PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL AT DAYBREAK WHETHER ON RADIO OR NOT. THE TERM DAWN
DAWN BROADCASTING HAS PROGRESSED SO MUCH AND HAS BEEN VERY MUCH USED SUCH THAT IT HAS ARGUABLY BECOME A TRADITIONAL EVANGELISM IN GHANA. IT REMAINS A KEY MEANS OF EVANGELISM.

WHY DAWN BROADCAST WHY DAWN BROADCAST INDEED WE HAVE A MANDATE TO PREACH THE GOSPEL AT ALL TIME. PAUL S CHARGE TO TIMOTHY TO PREACH THE WORD IN AND OUT OF SEASON CARRIES THIS SENSE (2 TIMOTHY 4:2). DEACONESS EUNICE ADDISON S SONG, DOING THE WORK OF THE LORD ALSO INFORMS US THAT PREACHING OF THIS GOSPEL OF SALVATION SHOULD BE DONE EVERY TIME OF THE DAY.
