Broadcasting God’s Word to the people in the Middle East on shortwave radio since 1984
The mission of Seed of Abraham Shortwave (SOA Shortwave) is to faithfully proclaim the Gospel of Jesus (Yeshua) the Messiah—particularly to Jewish and Muslim communities—through powerful shortwave radio broadcasts in Arabic and English across the Middle East and beyond. Founded in 1984 by Dr. David Depew, a passionate Bible teacher, missionary, and legal scholar, the ministry was inspired by a deep love for Scripture, academic excellence, and a calling to reach unreached people groups. Today, under the continued leadership of his wife and ministry partner, Patricia Depew, SOA Shortwave remains committed to spreading the Good News, supporting the global Jewish diaspora, advocating for Israel, and equipping believers worldwide through biblically grounded resources. Rooted in Romans 1:16, the ministry carries on its mission with unwavering dedication, faith, and a heart for the nations.
