Peace With God

 
   


January 1, 1978 • January 1, 2008

    
             
  On Sunday January 1, 1978 our radio ministry was born with the inaugural broadcast of our flagship station WTLR-FM.  During the early afternoon hours, the airwaves at 89.9 FM came alive with a glorious sound of CELEBRATION -- the joyous music of "Christ the Lord/He is Risen", performed by the Oklahoma Baptist Festival Choir.

It was a humble beginning.  Our first station home was a converted house in downtown State College and our first transmitter building was an old, dented truck box.  The staff consisted mostly of eager and dedicated volunteers.  And yet the dream was big: to bring to Central Pennsylvania a full time Christian radio voice.

How we thank the Lord for those who were with us at the very beginning to birth this ministry, as well as those whom God has faithfully raised up over the years to be a part of the dream:

  • Board members
  • Management
  • Staff
  • So many willing volunteers
  • A veritable army of listeners, many of whom also have prayed for us and financially supported us.

Since those early days, our ministry has grown in wonderful ways:

  • The construction of a permanent home at 2020 Cato Avenue.
  • Increasing the power of WTLR from 10,000 to 25,000 watts.
  • The addition of WQJU-FM, expanding our outreach to Mifflin, Juniata, Perry and Dauphin counties
  • The acquisition and development of Camp Kanesatake
  • The fine addition of the creative Puppets with a Purpose ministry
  • Our speaker series, Ezekiel Forum
  • A vital partnership with Wantok Radio Light to assist in building a Christian radio network in Papua New Guinea.

To God be the glory!

By God's infinite grace, we stand committed to continuing Christ-centered Radio for the Family, bringing solid Bible-based teaching and equipping for the saints in Central Pennsylvania -- and beyond!
