Throwback Thursday: What Happened to the Old Fashioned Revival Hour?

Glad you asked! Charles Fuller’s Old Fashioned Revival Hour became The Joyful Sound!

Wanting to keep the radio ministry alive after Dr. Fuller’s death on March 18, 1968, his son Dr. Daniel Payton Fuller and the Global Broadcasting Association continued the program.

David Allan Hubbard, the 3rd President of Fuller Seminary, became the program’s regular speaker from 1969 until 1981.

Flashback Friday: Charles Fuller & Pomona College

Guess what! In 1910, Charles Fuller graduated cum laude from Pomona College. Would you believe the future world-renowned radio evangelist had majored in chemistry??

He was also one of Pomona’s left-tackles! See if you can find him in his college football photos! He also earned a letter in the hammerthrow and shotput.
