Life Radio Ministries began in 1993 as a media ministry. In 1995, an FM Radio Station in Metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia, was added built by the ministry. Since that time, and through God's blessings and the vision of LRM founder and President Joseph Emert and the Board of Directors, Life Radio Ministries has expanded to partnering with additional outreach organizations in helping provide leadership, consultation, and "hands-on" assistance to missionary radio stations and networks across the globe. Life Radio Ministries is dedicated to presenting quality Christian programming and music to a hurting world by sharing the Light and Life of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Vision of Life Radio Ministries is to use Christian radio to share the Light and Life of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, both in the United States and Internationally. The ministry was founded in 1993 by Joe and Jenny Emert.

Joe Emert has been actively involved in Christian broadcasting for over 35 years. At the age of 18 he started working in Christian radio at a radio station in Pennsylvania owned by his father, Rev. William Emert. During those years, as his father made over 30 short-term mission trips and built a radio station in Haiti, Joe caught the vision for using radio in international missionary work. He worked his way through college in the broadcasting division of his school and has remained in the Christian radio ministry full-time. He has worked as Announcer, News Director, Program Director and has served as General Manager of four Christian radio stations including WTLR-FM in State College, PA; WAKW-FM in Cincinnati, OH, the Moody Broadcasting station (Moody Bible Institute) in Atlanta, WAFS (AM 920), and WMVV-FM near Atlanta, GA.

Just before he and his wife, Jenny, founded Life Radio Ministries in 1993 (WMVV) he helped establish the Atlanta-based national daily radio program of Dr. Michael Youssef, "Leading The Way," where Joe served as Executive Director. He now serves full-time as President of Life Radio Ministries. Joe also serves as a founding member of the board of directors of the Papua New Guinea Christian Broadcasting Network and has assisted in the construction of 10 FM stations and a Shortwave station in that country. Joe and Jenny were married in 1972 and have four sons, two Daughters-in-Law, and three grandchildren!
