Low Power FM Radio Station


I wanted to update you all on the progress with the radio stations. Right now the Low Power FM Radio Station KCCJ 106.9 is on the air! The format is contemporary worship and their are some sponsorship spots that randomly appear about once per hour. I'm very excited to finally get the station up and running.

We however have to improve the signal strength by increasing its wattage from 1 Watt to 17 Watts. We also have to purchase a larger antenna and tower to help get the signal out farther. This will probably run around 3 thousand dollars to get all the necessary components. I just decided on Thursday that I was going to get something going on the station. The unfortunate part about the project as it currently stands, you have to be very close to the transmitter to pick up the signal, about 1/4 th of a mile.

If you're in the Meadow Heights subdivision in Batesville (North West of the Fair Grounds) be sure to tune in 106.9 FM to hear contemporary worship. It won't be long and the signal will cover a much larger area. Please continue to pray with me that this project will get completed in a timely manner and that the word of the Lord and anointed worship will blanket Batesville. To God be the glory!

If you are considering a donation please make your check out to the Literacy Council of Independence County. The L.C.I.C. is a 501 (c) 3 organization and donations are tax deductible.

Allow me to Ramble

Well I'm up late tonight. Thanks to swigging down some cold coffee after church and stopping for some additional caffeine at the gas station with Rick on the way home. I just wanted to thank everyone for loving Andrea, the kids and I. We feel so welcome here at Jubilee Family Church and in Batesville. We've only been here a year and a half but are extremely honored to be part of the community.

I'm very excited about some positive things that have happened with the Literacy Council of Independence county today. Chuck received a phone call from the IRS approving our 501 (c) 3 status. Things are moving forward nicely with the Literacy Council. I believe the Literacy council is a much needed service in our area to give people a hand up as apposed to a hand out. I love the concept of empowering people to take care of their own business. I also love the way teaching and education help defeat poverty in the lives of people. Our mission is to train tutors and help connect them to students who need basic literacy training as well as students who speak English as a second language. If you're interested in becoming a tutor or know of a potential student have them call the literacy council office at 870.793.5912.

Our web streaming is also moving along nicely. We web cast live, every Sunday morning at 10:00 AM and have an interactive online discussion every Wednesday evening at 6:30 PM CST. Participate with us if you're from out of town or even out of the country!

We were talking tonight about bearing fruit at church. I can't get off the page of using my life to glorify the Lord in the area of duplication. Duplicating myself into others, raising them up to be fruit bearing disciples of the Lord. That reminds me... I'll keep you all posted on our fair outreach. I haven't heard anything from the powers that be regarding a booth but have a guarantee that well be on the call list for a booth when they start organizing things. I'm excited to see Ron Brown in action winning souls. I've heard him mention evangelism explosion and the success that one of his previous churches had with it in the area of raising up new believers. I really enjoy getting around the zealous new believers. Don't you? They are so excited and full of life.

We'll be traveling up to Cape Girardeau this weekend for the Mellies Carbaugh wedding. That will be good and I'm excited for Andrew and Rachel.

Please keep praying for the successful launch of our two radio stations. I've got many hoops to jump through to turn the vision into reality. Thanks for praying with us for the fulfillment of the vision. I solicit your assistance in securing a location. I've been looking around and praying and have some thoughts. I need to press on some doors to see if one opens. Have a great week and feel free to make some comments.
