  Testify – Weekdays at 6:00am
"What a blessing it is for us to see Testify aired every weekday on The Bridge. I have always loved the East Coast and am thrilled and honored to be a part of such a wonderful station that is committed to the Word of God. I pray that as you listen, you would come to know more and more the grace and knowledge of our Lord, Jesus Christ, and that you would understand the depth of His love for you. Know that we are committed to deliver to you the uncompromised word of God – taught in a relevant, easy to understand way – every day. May God richly bless you." Pastor Bob

Meet Our November Sponsor of the Month!
Compassion International Compassion International allows you to become involved personally in the life of a precious child living in overwhelming poverty. Your sponsorship of $32 a month (just a little more than a dollar a day), provides things like health care, nutrition, clothing, education, skills training, and – most of all – the hope of Christ. You will be able to write back and forth, and will receive regular updates and photos on your child's progress. None of us can change the whole world... but you can change the whole world for one child. For more information about Compassion International, click on their logo to visit their sponsor page. View photos to find a child that can become your own personal mission.

Programming Updates and Sponsor Opportunities!
Weekdays – At 5AM tune in to Pastor Jack Abeelen with Growing through Grace and at 6AM tune in to Pastor Bob Botsford with Testify. Saturday mornings... please tune in at 9AM for The Christian Worldview with David Wheaton. Hear current news & events from a decidedly Biblical Worldview. Tune in at 11AM for Financial Issues with Dan Celia. Both of these Saturday morning programs are one hour LIVE call-in programs. More and more listeners are tuning in to these two programs and that presents a great opportunity for business and service providers to add a 30 second spot that describes your products or services. Rates are very reasonable for weekend programming... and your spots are going to be heard by many as these programs continue to be our most popular on Saturday mornings. Call Patti Gates at (908) 930-2107 or email: info@bridgefm.org for more info. Lastly... this is a good time to remind our listeners of the importance of making sure your favorite teachers or programs hear from you on a regular basis.
