David Maasbach
Director

The goal of the Johan Maasbach World Mission Foundation is ‘to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the greatest number of people in the shortest possible time, using all means and media at our disposal’. Radio is one of the best means to reach people over the whole world. To help fulfilling God’s Master Plan I see to it that Maasbach Radio remains on course and on schedule. This is not a difficult task, but it is difficult to keep it up and running, because that’s a lot of work. I do this together with a whole team of faithful co-workers around me. When you like to listen to Maasbach Radio and you are being blessed by it, then use the button ‘tell a friend’ or make a donation sometime to support us.

Hi there! I’m Christy Grace and I’m living my dream job. Music is woven into every part of my life. Music inspires me. Music has the power to define my mood and take my heart to deeper places.

The simple message of the Gospel is still the most powerful message for any time of the day.

• How did you get started in radio?

Ten years ago – straight out of High School – I started working at the Kids Ministry department of the Johan Maasbach World Mission Foundation. An international oriented ministry founded by my pioneering grandfather here in the Netherlands over 60 years ago and now led by my uncle, David Maasbach. About four years ago, my uncle asked me to transfer to our newly built Radio Station: Maasbach Radio. ‘ME?!’ – I thought. Yes, music has been in my bones since my mom performed in churches, gatherings, crusades and prisons all over the world, but radio… now that was something I had never seen myself doing. But something about it just clicked and I dove right in. Headfirst. And boy do I love my job.

Without a doubt, my pioneering Evangelist grandfather who, in the Sixties, got himself on ‘Pirate Radio stations’ located on boats of the shore of Holland and Britain because the Dutch government would not sell any airtime to other parties and they definitely would not have anybody use airtime for the message of healing and salvation. For three decades he was preaching the Gospel on multiple radio stations including Radio Caroline and a 24-hour short wave radio program for countries behind the Iron Curtain. For 24 years he was broadcasting his radio program on the most powerful privately-owned transmitter in the world: Radio Luxembourg. His one and only goal was: to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the greatest number of people in the shortest possible time, using all means and media at our disposal. And that is still the goal for Maasbach Radio today.

• My most favorite quote is:

‘All is grace’

Questions & answers

• What is your favorite Scripture?

Psalm 18:29: ‘With Your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall.’

• Top 3 of your favorite songs.

• What do you like doing in your spare time?

Haha, working. I love my job. It is my passion, hobby and work. The most beautiful thing is that I may do it for the Lord. I also love to watch movies (movie theater) and especially I like to go somewhere and drink delicious coffee.

• What is your favorite food?

I love ‘Pla choe chi’. This is Thai food. It is baked pangasius fillet with red curry and coconut milk.

• What was the hardest thing you have ever done?

That’s is hard one. I always try to find new challenges in my life. To overcome those challenges, either in work as well as private. When I have to think of something, it would be mixing the first CD of the MAP Band: ‘You’. I had never mixed a CD before. I was a musician, not a sound man. Eventually I am very satisfied with the end result. Later, after you have finished projects, you always think: ‘Oh, now I would actually do it differently’ or ‘maybe it would be better this way’. But it shows where you were at that moment in your life and that you have grown. It also shows that there is space for new growth for the next challenge.

• What is your last experience that made you a stronger person?

Orchestrating the music for the first version of the musical ‘Forbidden Love’ (in Dutch). It really made me think about everything and I learned to never give up. It seemed an impossible task, but it showed me that God works through someone who is willing!

• Where do you want to go/see in life?

I would really like to go to a program/school called ‘Mix with the Masters’. A week long you will follow a seminar/school with the best mixers of the world. It’s being held in a beautiful studio in the south of France.

• What is one of your favorite quotes?

‘It’s kind of fun to do the impossible!’

• Who is one of your favorite artists?

That would be Toby Mac. He is on top for such a long time and he keeps surprising me with new things in his CD’s. When I was little, I was already a big fan of DC Talk. It’s the progressive and the search for new things that makes him one of my favorite artists.
