=== Radio ministry ===
On October 3, 1942, Wierwille began a weekly live radio program dubbed ''Vesper Chimes'', recruiting a group of young people from local churches to help him. The program was broadcast from [[WLOK (Ohio)|WLOK]] in [[Lima, Ohio]], where the youth would sing and perform alongside Wierwille's [[sermon]]s that included "principles for [[abundant life]]". Soon afterwards, the program was renamed ''The Chimes Hour Youth Caravan''. Wierwille published his first book, ''Victory Through Christ,'' in 1945, compiling his radio sermons. In 1947, ''The Chimes Hour Youth Caravan'' [[non-profit corporation|incorporated]] with Wierwille as president alongside a board of directors.<ref name="MeltonBaumann2010">{{cite book|author1=J.

That year, ''The Way: The Chimes Hour Young People's Publication'' began publishing writings by people associated with the radio program each month. Starting in 1948, Wierwille began broadcasting every morning in addition to the regular weekly program.
