Adventists have long been proponents of media-based ministries. Traditional Adventist evangelistic efforts consisted of street missions and the distribution of tracts such as ''The Present Truth'', which was published by [[James Springer White|James White]] as early as 1849. Until [[John Nevins Andrews|J. N. Andrews]] was sent to [[Switzerland]] in 1874, Adventist global efforts consisted entirely of the posting of tracts such as White's to various locations.

In the last century, these efforts have also made use of media such as [[radio]] and [[television]]. The first of these was [[H. M. S. Richards]]' radio show ''[[Voice of Prophecy]]'',<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://channelstore.roku.com/details/1eb11612a62667a4a61e3fc4b486ab2e/voice-of-prophecy|title=Voice of Prophecy|website=[[Roku]]|access-date=2022-03-01}}</ref> which was initially broadcast in [[Los Angeles]] in 1929.
