Love Worth Finding (LWF) is a worldwide Christian ministry that promotes the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. This short article tells the story of LWF from its origins in the work of Dr Adrian Rogers, the late Pastor Emeritus of one of America’s biggest churches.

Born in Florida in 1931, he was called to become a Christian Minister at the age of 19. Rogers founded Love Worth Finding (LWF) ministry, an internationally syndicated television and radio ministry in 1987 and was its president, CEO, and chairman of the Board of Directors before his death. About Love Worth Finding ministry Love Worth Finding followed on from Adrian Rogers’ role as a Pastor and Bible teacher. The vision of the ministry is to proclaim the good news that Jesus Christ is truly the greatest love worth finding. Love Worth Finding aims to bring people to Christ and to help them to mature in their faith, including those struggling in the areas of marriage, family, debt, addiction and other kinds of oppression. It also involves reaching out to new Christians to equip them with knowledge and encourage their spiritual growth.
