Our theme this year is “Pressing Toward the Mark”, and we’re be highlighting two significant projects to expand the outreach of this ministry. We are closing in on the completion of our power upgrade for KOLU from 4,100 to 39,000 watts, which we hope to have operational by the end of this year. Also, the Lord has given us the opportunity to build a translator (“repeater”) that would reach the Yakima area along with the upper Yakima valley, and we will need funds to build the translator station and pay legal fees.
Goals this year are $90,000 in operating costs and another $12,000 to build the Yakima translator. Most of the increase in operating costs this year will be to pay for electricity to run the new, higher powered transmitter.
Our guest host this year will be Gene Sharp of Independent Baptist Media. Gene is a radio missionary that works around the world installing Christian radio stations, and has a deep passion to see souls reached through the medium of radio.
You also have the opportunity to drop by the studio and learn more about this ministry and meet many of us that keep Christian Family Radio broadcasting 24 hours a day. We have a free gift for every visitor age 15 and over, and many other gifts for those donating to the ministry. Saturday brings a hot dog cookout as well. Plan on joining with us!
Of course, regular support is still necessary to keep Christian Family Radio broadcasting, and these needs are also stressed.
You can watch our video covering the upgrade of KOLU using this History and Expansion Video link. This video was produced last year, but most of the information is still current (except for the Yakima translator).
