In 2013, Gordon Robertson, CEO of the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), recognized the need to help military families. “When I heard about the needs, I went to the Lord and asked, ‘What can we do? How can we start meeting the needs?’” As a ministry arm of CBN, Helping the Home Front was launched, partnering with local churches and ministries to support military families.
CBN’s headquarters is located in Virginia Beach near many military bases, so starting in our own backyard made a lot of sense. From its beginnings in a tiny UHF station in Portsmouth, Virginia, CBN is now broadcasting the Gospel around the world. Helping the Home Front (HHF) has expanded, too, helping military families across America and around the world. HHF has grown beyond expectations, and we are excited about what God has in store for the future.
