About Voice of Charity
A bilingual Christian radio station founded by the Lebanese Maronite Missionaries, broadcasting to New South Wales since 1997.
“Christian, humanitarian, cultural and sociological radio station at the service of the individual, community and the society.”
Who we are
Voice of Charity Australia is a bilingual Christian radio station that aims to deliver the word of God to every home and every Christian person. We began broadcasting in Sydney on 10 November 1997, maintaining the same objectives and charisma as Voice of Charity Lebanon.
VOC is the only Christian Arabic and English radio station broadcasting 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, founded by the Lebanese Maronite Missionaries. Our panoply of programs addresses all age groups — children, youth and adults alike — in both languages.
Our goal
Voice of Charity’s goal is to spread the word of God to all listeners — especially the families, the youth, the children, the elderly, the ailing, the solitary, the weak and all people of good will, without any discrimination.
We are a Christian broadcasting service, targeting primarily Christians from the Eastern Christian denominations — Maronite, Melkite, Syriac, Catholic, Orthodox and Evangelical — who are predominantly Arabic-speaking communities.

What our sponsors say
We are happy with the results of advertising with The Voice of Charity and the benefits we have received, being more customers and higher profits. Wishing you all the best of luck.
The Voice of Charity has really helped in the development of our business. From the moment we started running the advertisement on the radio, our customers grew in number, and so did our profits.
Sponsoring Voice of Charity helped me advertise to a specific group within the Bankstown area, which in return was great for my business. I will recommend it for anyone looking to advertise to the Christian market, as this is not offered elsewhere.
The Voice of Charity is for everyone. Our main reason why we sponsor Voice of Charity is to keep the word of God alive in every home and heart. If we as Christians don’t support this great initiative, then who will?

We’d love to hear from you — whether you listen, sponsor or would like to be part of a program.
