The International Gospel Hour moved from Texarkana, TX to the West Fayetteville Church of Christ in Fayetteville, TN on August 1, 1995, under the oversight of the West Fayetteville elders. Their desire is for the programs to be scripturally sound and will not endure any deviation from the truth of the gospel.

Winford Claiborne, who serves as an evangelist for the West Fayetteville church, also serves as Speaker/Director of the International Gospel Hour. W.E. Skipper served as General Manager, and speaker of the One Gospel Minute until his recent death in October 2006.   David Sain, who also serves as evangelist for the West Fayetteville church, has taken on responsibility as the Operations Manager, and speaker of the One Gospel Minute lessons.  Dauna Skipper is the secretary and computer operator for this radio ministry.

Winford Claiborne records his radio sermons in a studio located in his residence. The tapes are then mailed to National Recording Studio in Texarkana, TX where Chuck Richardson, chief engineer, builds the program for broadcast by adding an introduction, singing and concluding remarks. The master tapes are then mailed to more than 170 stations in the United States.

A copy of the sermons, either on tape or a printed transcript, are offered free to all listeners. A free Bible Correspondence Course is also offered. The Mt. Leo Church of Christ in McMinnville, TN handles all the Bible Course requests in cooperation with the Gospel Hour. Hundreds of pieces of mail are processed each month including many requests for tapes, transcripts, books and the Bible Correspondence Course. This required the Gospel Hour to purchase additional equipment to handle the requests. (Tape copier, postal machine, and a Canon copier which copies both sides, collates, and staples all the transcripts.

As of January 1, 2008:

  • The Gospel Hour programs are on 120 radio stations, in 106 cities, in twenty-seven states.
  • The Gospel Hour is now on twenty 50,000 watt stations, fourteen of which are clear-channel stations.
  • The Gospel Hour programs are aired a total of 262 times every week.
  • The Gospel Hour programs are broadcast a total of more than 59 hours per week.

The International Gospel Hour serves as a "Mission Outreach" of the West Fayetteville Church of Christ. We are working diligently to continue the great work brother V.E. Howard started more than 70 years ago.
