Charlie Carter was instrumental in establishing the Ariton Church of Christ in 1996. In doing so, he realized a long-time dream of having a congregation in Ariton where he had lived, reared his family, and built a thriving business.
Four years later, Carter had another dream – that of utilizing George Merritt’s religious broadcasting experience. The result was the debut of Power & the Glory on an Ozark radio station in September of 2000. For these reasons, we dedicate this website to his memory.
In 2004, George Merritt went full-time with this work. Power & the Glory is now heard on 16 stations in seven states and has listeners worldwide via this website and the internet streaming of several stations. This broadcast will air its 600th consecutive program soon.
Also, in 2004, George Merritt’s God & Country debuted on a handful of radio stations. These faith-based vignettes are now being heard on more than 40 stations from the East Coast to the West Coast, and in both the North and the South. To date, nearly 2,000 episodes have aired.
Under the umbrella “Good Radio News”, this radio/internet ministry hears from hundreds of listeners each year and is distributing requested Bible study materials. Only God knows the number of precious souls from all over the world who access the materials on this site annually.
Financial support from churches of Christ and individual Christians make possible the continuation of this outreach.
Merritt has been involved in radio evangelism during practically all of his 50 years in ministry. He has spoken on more than 6,000 programs.
