Summary

Praise Network, Inc. (PNI) operates five Christian radio stations located in O'Neill, Norfolk, and Columbus, Nebraska, and Hays and Goodland, Kansas. PNI was formed in 1988 with the purpose of ministering to radio listeners of religious radio stations with programs of selected Christian music, biblical instruction, and other religious programs that encourage spiritual growth according to Christian principles. PNI purchases time on selected radio stations with the rate paid based on a percentage of contributions received from listeners of that station up to a specified limit. In addition, PNI produces tapes of programs to be provided to the stations. The purchase of stations is supported by contributions from the listening audience and from others interested in supporting the ministry.

Purpose

We want more people to know about Jesus and not just to know things about Him, but to really know Him. That's why we program our stations with a strong balance of encouraging music and Bible teaching programs. We hope through the outreach of all our stations people will both come to know Christ, and walk along side us as we learn to live like Him in our daily lives.


Mission statement

Every endeavor will be toward glorifying God and turning hearts toward Christ through programs of instruction, information, and inspiration.


Statement of faith

We hold firmly to the irreducible roots of Christianity.

We believe the Bible to be inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons, Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

We believe in the deity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

We believe that for salvation of lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Christ.
