This month's Featured Teacher, Pastor Rodney Finch of Salt & Light Ministry:

Rodney Finch Pastor Rodney has been on The Bridge since February 1st and has already become a favorite teacher to many listeners. Here is a brief testimony in Rodney's own words: "I was born and raised in Philadelphia as the son of a single parent. My mother was hard-working and managed to send me and my brother to Catholic school. Although I attended Catholic school into the high school years, I never saw the need for a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. In the early 70's and 80's my life revolved around the use of drugs. In 1979, I joined the U.S. Navy and became a Hospital Corpsman for the next 13 years. On Jan. 23, 1982, a Marine Corps friend took me to church for a Saturday evening revival, and when the call was given to receive Jesus, I prayed and trusted Christ to be my personal savior and life was never the same, as the Word of God has changed my life. I am dedicated to teaching the Bible, verse-by-verse and have a commitment to the study of God's Word because I believe this is the only way to experience true transformation."

Exciting News! A new antenna is coming to 103.1 FM. Our NY/NJ Metro signal that covers part of North Jersey and NYC is replacing an existing antenna. We are praying that this will bring an improved signal to this area. This is scheduled to be completed by the end of this month. Please join us in praying that this change results in many new Bridge listeners.
