Karl MacIntyre's Radio Show and Balloon Bible Drops
Karl MacIntyre, known for the Christian Beacon newspaper, gained fame with the radio show 'Twentieth Century Reformation Hour' in 1955, broadcast on numerous stations. He collaborated with Hargus on a plan to launch balloons carrying Bibles over the Iron Curtain into communist countries. This operation was executed three times, sending hundreds of thousands of Bibles, although the claimed impact might have been exaggerated.
