A Step of Faith
In 1980, Dr. Reagan took a major step of faith when he gave up his academic career in order to enter full time ministry. He established an inter-denominational Bible prophecy ministry called Lamb & Lion. The purpose of the ministry was to teach the fundamentals of Bible prophecy and to proclaim he soon return of Jesus.
In the years that followed, Dr. Reagan’s outreach consisted of daily radio programs for 22 years, a bi-monthly magazine, an inter-active website and speaking at churches and conferences all across the United States and around the world. He also authored many books and magazine articles. He also took more than 40 groups on pilgrimages to the Holy Land. His sermons have been distributed
worldwide in both audio and video formats. His books have been translated into many different languages.
In 2002, after 22 years of daily radio broadcasts, Dr. Reagan’s daily radio program called “Christ in Prophecy,” was converted into a weekly television program that is broadcast nationally and internationally over many networks. The TV program proclaims the soon return of Jesus, teaches the fundamentals of prophecy and deals with the prophetic significance of national and international events.
