FORT WORTH, Texas — FamilyNet, the broadcast communications subsidary of the North American Mission Board (NAMB), has announced that NAMB president Robert E. Reccord will serve as host of “The Baptist Hour” radio program beginning Palm Sunday, March 24.
The program’s preacher since 1977 has been Frank Pollard, pastor of First Baptist Church of Jackson, Miss., who has retired.
Reccord said he will be taping some of the programs in a studio, while others may be drawn from his sermons as he speaks around the country.
“The Baptist Hour,” first broadcast in 1941, has featured such pulpit giants as M.E. Dodd, George W. Truett, W.A. Criswell and J.D. Grey. The syndicated program airs 408 times weekly in the United States and nine foreign outlets.
