Fuller Radio Broadcasts 2 Broadcast: The Theme of Salvation - 1 Timothy 1:15  - Charles E. Fuller In 1925, a young pastor named Charles E. Fuller saw vast possibilities in the new invention called “radio." He soon resigned from his pastoral responsibilities to give his full time to radio evangelism. By 1935, the voice of Dr. Fuller had become a familiar sound in the Western states.   On October 3, 1937 the Old Fashioned Revival Hour aired its first broadcast over the 13 stations of the Mutual Network. Charles E. Fuller soon established the Gospel Broadcasting Association to sponsor his Old Fashioned Revival Hour (OFRH) program. In 1941 Fuller’s nationwide broadcast was moved from a Hollywood studio to the Long Beach Municipal Auditorium where thousands of servicemen, enroute to the Pacific during World War II, attended the broadcast. Dr. Fuller and his OFRH musicians traveled throughout North America, holding citywide rallies which were often broadcast live. In 1943 the Fuller Evangelistic Foundation was organized and the year 1947 marked the opening of the Fuller Theological seminary in Pasadena, California, established to train evangelical Christian pastors, missionaries and evangelists.
